Default Cleaning a catalytic converter

Let's face it, replacing a catalytic converter can be expensive. So if there's a way to clean them, I'm sure you'd rather try that first before paying good money for a new one. After 2 other attempts to clean my catalytic converters I've decided to try sodium hydroxide this time. In my previous attempts I did not follow the recommended procedure for cleaning. In this video I make sure that I follow a procedure that will hopefully yield a result and allay any concerns about my cleaning methods. Let's face it, catalytic converters can be expensive, very expensive. If there's a way to clean them over replacing them, I'm sure you'd want to give that a try before you shelled out the big bucks for a new one. So in this video I show you another possible method of cleaning your catalytic converter. Remember this isn't even worth trying if your catalytic converter is physically damaged. Also, be sure to fix the underlying problem that caused the catalytic converter not to function in the first place. If you have a misfire or an engine that burns a lot of oil, be sure and address those issues as well, if not, you'll likely be right back where you started in short order.
