Here is a good link that goes over the procedure. It is basically an all-purpose, strong agent that is supposed to clean your engine of carbon.

Might as well change the fuel filter while you're at it.

I'm pretty eager to get my car seafoamed as well. Hopefully I don't trash the cats or 02 sensors though.
