Gunk is the BIZZZOMB, engine bright is awesome too, you can trust GUNK to do what it says.

what's that, GUNK up your engine?

j/k, I use GUNK Air Intake/Throttle Body cleaner or whatever it's called... it's good stuff. Beware: Like all acetone-based solvents, it leaves a strange smell in your nose for at least a day (or at least it does that to me...)

I use the STP. You spray it on and wipe it off. Look at the directions since some say spray in and run the engine. Spraying and wiping seems safer.
