Dirty Injectors? Clean them!

[ISX]

I've been messing around with this stuff http://www.mothers.com/02_products/05100-05101.html and after seeing countless exceptional results, I took out one of the 3 injectors I have never cleaned and tried it. That stuff takes the carbon off after a minute of rubbing but the abrasive in it is so fine, I think it hardly touches the injector nozzle. I messed with it for 5 min and couldn't get it to even scratch the nozzle. So I think it is the absolute best stuff to use to clean the injectors. Just make sure to use some brake cleaner on it to get it all the polishing compound out.

Dang that is nice... Now I got to get down to Boise, ID to buy some... Grrrr! (360 mile round trip!)

It actually says "not recommended on painted metals, chrome, if it doesn't have black residue it is not polishable!" They would make a ton of money if they would erase that. I've been running around doing little spots on everything and can't see anything negative about it. My dad even has road oil all over his truck that he couldn't get off with diesel fuel or break cleaner, but that stuff take it off after a minute. I want to take another injector out but clean the tip longitudinally. The lateral marks I am pretty sure are from the process to make the nozzle, but I want to make sure and show how it won't scratch it.

Don't you have UPS, FEDEX or mail order up there?

Yeah but just to ship a small item cost like $15 to $20 bucks... For another $20 to $25 I might as well make a shopping trip out of it and pickup more supplies for the shop and property...

Took the last 2 out that I have never cleaned and did my test of cleaning it longitudinally. Just as I thought, it won't scratch it. Whatever they use as an abrasive is only hard enough to get the carbon off. The picture shows the result of what I did in the video, in case you can't see it. It cleans a lot better if you twist is on the nozzle but I had to test the scratch theory.
