Exclamation Anyone use 3M fuel injector cleaner yet?

I have always used Seafoam but in my latest Motor Trend there is a full page ad for 3M Fuel Injector Cleaner, so has anyone used it?
If so, does it work good?
3M usually makes good products....?

I haven't used it but I know 3M makes everything. Seriously, if it is sticky, there is a 3M label/logo somewhere on the product. Why don't you give it a try and let us know how it works?

A couple of years ago we were having problems with the injector pintles getting dirty, and setting missfire codes (Infiniti). TSB from the factory was to use 3m injector cleaner,2 cans of it. Worked like a champ. You'll need a kit to tap into the rail. I haven't had the need to use it for at least 2 years now though. If you want I can get the part # to see if it's the same stuff you're looking at.

I went to the 3m site, they offer three kinds in their "e-store" a kit like you mentioned and two sizes of additives, I ordered the best/larger of the two additives, its was pretty high ($14) but shipping was dirt cheap ($2), UPS is bringing it to my door
