Throttle body cleaner?

What kind of throttle body cleaner dose everyone use. Like a brand thats good. I was just at advanced auto, And there where alot of them that said DO NOT USE on engines with Superchargers or Turbo's. Im looking for a brand thats safe on them. I Need one that will clean my MAF also somthing i can keep the car running and spray into my intake and it will clean it out.

Thanks in advanced.

Well to be honest with you I used the advance auto tb cleaner and i took my tb off and sprayed it and cleaned it and let it dry and put it back on and it's been fine ever since. The stuff evaporates quick so none of the cleaner is going to get into your supercharger. They prob meant not to use them on superchargers to clean them. But yeah, Just grab a can of that advance auto tb cleaner and call it a day

^^TROOF

Just get any kind of TB cleaner, REMOVE the TB, spray it in and let it soak for a second, then rub it off with
a clean, dry cloth. Repeat if necessary, let dry, reassemble.

does anyone have an answer on the MAF cleaner? cause ive got a persistent P0171 code that is NOT attributed to any real leaks anywhere so i was thinking it may be the MAF is dirty.

what do y'all use on the MAF
