Default Fuel Cleaners?

Anyone tried using fuel cleaners? I saw a ChrisFix video where he used one of the cheap bottles you pour into your gas tank to help clean carbon off the engine. He did a before/after of a look inside the engine at the pistons, and it actually worked decently.

Anyone tried these? Wondering if I should dump one into my IS

I choose to believe Shell that their V Power Nitro premium gas has insane amounts of detergent to keep your engine clean and free from deposits. Engineering Explained has a video on the gas and shows the cleaning power of it supposedly.

Fuel cleaners are of use if you do not use "top tier" gas which has their own small percentage of a fuel cleaner in them. If you use decent gas, fuel cleaners are of no use.
