Good injector/engine cleaner?

Have been thinking it's time to be running some injector cleaner through my car. In the past I have always used Cataclean which was recommended by a friend of mine. This seemed a good product, but having tried nothing else I have nothing to compare it to.

Has anyone found any particular brand to be any good?

Thanks.

Blue, didn't you use some a few weeks back?

I've tried loads of brands, running them in bloody high concentrations, and they've all done jack

Yay!!

I'm just happy I've got a response!

When I've used it I THINK it's made an improvement, but it might all be in my head as I'm looking for a difference.

I stuck a bottle of forte injector cleaner in mine a few months back. No noticable difference.

I used to use Redex, but now I use this in both my pugs. Compared to Redex, I felt a bit of a difference. What I usually do is put it on half way while filling the tank. A few mates of mine always stick in Skick 50 when they change their oil, but I have heard mixed stories about Slick 50. Is it any good?

i use forte in the cars at work when they fail the mot on emissions, take the car for a good hammering, and it passes so it must do something
