It will cost me like 40 a can but my price since I work here at the dealer and 50 to pay the tech . The one of the tech said it works because he did it before and after . Which he looked at the piston and valves before doing it and clean all the carb build up. I'm just trying to get it clean before it builds up a lot

I used to use the Techron complete fuel system cleaner for my all cars in every 15k miles. it works only OK compared to BG 44k fuel system cleaner that i have just switch to. BG 44K works wayyyyyyyy better

There was a member who posted before and after pictures of his engine using this stuff. There was a difference but it was so minuscule that it did not seem worth it. Not to mention the before was not even bad at all.

This is not something you can do in your own driveway.
There is no way to determine if the combustion chamber is dirty or not........and top treat or pour in the tank additives will only target the injectors and have superficial results elsewhere.
Induction cleaning is cleaning the combustion chamber, not just the injectors.
"If it aint broke" is a bad analogy, compared to doing this as a routine maintenance service.
Provided it is a petrolium distilate based cleaner that can withstand combustion chamber temperatures of 800 degrees or higher, the investment is worth the price.
Intake valves get carbon build up. While direct port injection will run reliativly clean, there is nothing wrong with using products like this. It is extremely important that these cleaners are atomized properly using the correct tools and introduced into the combustion chamber properly and controlled.
I clean mine about once a year with a similar products and have no issues.
Kerosene and naptha based alcohol products like Seafoam, are poor and burn off before any proper cleaning can be done, and is the reason why they smoke a lot during use.........so stick to petrolium distillate based products that can heat soak the carbon and withstand higher temperatures.
In turn this will spark lots of debate, but many of todays Gas Direct Injection vehicles are having horrific maintenance issues with their motors and massive carbon build up. Most have migrated to products like this diectly in the dealer networks, as it is the only way to maintain these modern engines.
