Has anyone used 505 CRO (oil additive) and 505 CRF (fuel additive)? Is used to decarbonize the engine.

I'll just say Bernie Thompson (owner of ATS) is one of the smartest diagnosticians in the industry.
I do seafoam or MMO time to time as well..Did you use it? If yes, what's your results?
No, I haven’t used it.
I will probably use this in my daughter’s 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. It has about 120k miles. As a preventative just because it’s Direct Injection.

DIY Dave gave it a go and it didn't do anything. Here is his exact video.
I'm attempting to get him to try HPL.. He is a very busy guy, however (for his situation.)
Here is that:
I have used it several times on several vehicles. I can say this, nothing on the shelves at any parts store comes close to doing what ATS Carbon Clean said it would. My Honda Pilot no longer burns oil after using this treatment. I've seen fantastic results in regards to MPG. I usually buy them 2 at a time to get the shipping cost down a little. Best place I've found to buy is here https://www.atscarbonclean.com/carbon-clean-shop/

I used it in my 2006 CR-V. It did not seem to affect oil burning, but it may have had a positive impact on fuel economy. I noted a positive change after treatment.
Compression readings on cold engine is not the correct way to test compression. Compression readings are taken on a warm engines to allow everything to seal so you get an accurate reading. This video testimony isn't how a professional technician would tests an engine or a product for that matter.
Like what?
$300 for the oil and fuel treatment. That's a lot of snakes.

Where do you see this? When I purchased it was well under $100.
Well you do have Scotty Kilmer's testimonial as a backup, so there's that.

It’s $60 there. The $300 option is for a case of 12.
Doh! That's a big difference and way more reasonable.
In reality, any pour-in engine flush or fuel additive will have limited effectiveness compared to a direct-contact soaking of components. Feel free to experiment (at your own risk), but I wouldn't expect miracles.

It is direct contact. It is intended to be used in a running engine for a short period of time.
No it’s not - it is mixed with engine oil.
By direct contact - I’m thinking piston soak.
