Saw this at local advance auto parts. Went for $34.99. What's the ingredients!? Work as good as a Delco top end cleaner spart, crc gdi intake cleaner ECT? I normally use stp intake cleaner via vacuum hose rear of engine.last oil change n next use ac Delco top end spray.
Thought everyone here would enjoy the new toy and pics! Enjoy

It's a blend of strong solvents, PEA, and a non-ionic surfactant. Like all these induction cleaners, the ultimate results will be "YMMV" and on Direct Injection engines just about every one of them is mostly only useful as preventative maintenance to remove lighter carbon deposits, if you're already having issues then it may work as a bandaid but ultimately the large hard deposits will only be removed by mechanical abrasion, usually in the form of walnut blasting. On a port injected engine generally you shouldn't ever have to use any type of induction cleaner and if the intake is getting filthy enough to cause issues then generally you have a greater problem like worn valve stem seals, a crank case vent problem, or a worn out engine where the blowby's forcing excessive vapors through the crankcase vent. If for some reason you actually need an induction cleaner, I think I'd choose something else that's not $35 a pop.

Price is too high for me. I still use GM's top engine cleaner. Even steam from water being burned will effectively clean the combustion chamber. You don't need to do a cleaning job any more often than every few years.

Lucas version of this (GDI spray intake cleaner) is on clearance at Autozone for $12....When I used the STP version (also on clearance at AZ for $33) I did feel a difference on my GDI Focus. I would imagine the ingredients in all of these products are similar but STP charges more because it has easier to use (1 person) application device.

I agree with you but it sucks to have to pay over the twice the price as the others (which are more than likely the same or very similar in content) for application convenience.
