This is because BG has a nice catalog of "prizes" and mechanics earn credit toward obtaining these items by saving the tokens put in every can of BG products. A bit of marketing genius and isn't it just "special" that so many mechanics recommend these potions?

You're silly! The 'chip' in each can is worth a "whole $0.25"

Technicians like BG44K because it works. Its claimed to be about 10x stronger than those cheap ones you see out there.

We use it at my shop....Because it works. I use it on all my cars, because it works. I don't recommend it to ALL my customers, but definately to the ones that have some running troubles.

I've seen the results of its use in an engine with carboned up combustion chambers. Looked inside with a boroscope before, then after use. "nice and clean now".

Of course we did the full cleaning service, also using the spray cleaner that goes into the throttlebody, like BG recommends. then you can just add to tank about every 3 months to keep things clean.

Techron is my #2 choice. I did a lot of research on it (as I did with BG products), and it seems to be the best you can just go buy and drop into your tank. BG stuff is sold thru repair shops, and usually with the full service.
