I heard some good things so I picked up a can, but I never do anything I don’t want know about to my car without YouTube and Reddit community’s. Every YouTube video I’ve watched made little difference with the product. Wanted to know if any of yall had good experiences. I have a 2016 hMazda 6 with mild carbon buildup on my valves. I cleaned it yesterday as best I could with what I have as well as the intake manifold and throttle body but the valves are a bitch to get to. I should’ve snapped some pictures before putting it back together but what ya gonna do.

If this was an effective method, the pros would be using it. Are they?

Actually, they do. BG Products is a professional brand of chemicals and tools that require their certification of training for a shop to be able to use. Find a shop that has BG services and they’ll do a full fuel & intake cleaning service without media blasting, so they’re not removing any parts. It’s surprisingly good for the cost. It’s a $200-300 service at the one dealership near me that’s actually BG certified.
