You a mechanic Stupendous?
Injector cleaning is no jike to this mechanic, nor to many others I
know. Your "Chemtool" is an injector cleaner too - and IF used
regularly the "real stuff" is likely not needed. Thing is, likely 99%
of drivers don't/won't use it regularly (heck, they won't even change
their oil often enough -) and when a vehicle runs poorly or fails
e-test an "injector clean" often solves the problem. I'm partial to
MotoVac myself. Cleans the lines, regulator, injectors, combustion
chambers and ports quite effectively.

If you use BG 44K it does almost as good a job, but it takes time. The
MotoVac gives results NOW that will show up on the sniffer as a
quantifiable and proveable improvement BEFORE the car goes out the
door. No guessing whether it will do the job or not.
