Any opinions on Motorvac cleaning system?

Anyone ever had their car injectors cleaned using this motorvac thing? The mechanic said it works wonders to restore injectors. My car has 230,000km and I figure it wouldn't hurt to clean 'em out a bit.

I personally haven't used, but have heard that it does a good job. If your mechanic reccomends it, then what the hell, why not? It can't hurt anything, right?

Not only injectors.. it's designed to clean your entire engine.. soft carbon on valves, pistons, combustion chambers.. even been accused of cleaning O2 sensors and clearing catalytic converters...

Search the entire board for MotorVac and you'll find a link to an impala forum with a thread about 7 pages long..
