I also further demonstrated that after driving for a while after the treatment, the catalytic converter became clean again. The only problem will be if your catalytic converter is not functioning well.

Any car with high injection pressures, it’s not recommended that you use any fuel additives or injector cleaners . If its diesel- then manually clean and de carbon you EGR valve and air intake manifold. Sprays are useless along with fuel additives .
