Clean Throttle Body

Someone posted a how-to/link on cleaning the throttle body a while ago. Since I can't search, does anybody have a link to this? Much appreciated.

Does anyone have any preference/recommendation for a specific brand of cleaner?

I notice some of them say not for fuel injected cars, not for turbo or supercharged, etc....

I cleaned mine today and used STP. I spray it on either a paper towel or paper towel, open the throttle body and wipe.

You can also put a towel underneath the throttle body and just spray away and let it just run out.
