Is Cataclean safe for my car?

Please can you tell me if Cataclean is safe to use on my car ? I have suspected problem with the catalytic converter. I don’t want to risk blocking anything up though. I really would appreciate some advice. Thank you. Or is there a better product ?

Generally speaking this product is safe to use on your vehicle, although its efficacy will depend on the nature of the issue you are experiencing. As a relatively inexpensive product it may be worth a try to see if it solves the problem, but a more substantial inspection and repair may be required.
