fuel injection cleaner....
Just curious/woundering what type of fuel injection cleaners additive do most of you guys us on your honda(s)? Brand wise or whatever. Or is there a certain brand or certain kind that kinda does the job better than the other or does it all work the same? Just curious because I wanted to go and buy a bottle but couldn't decided on which brand. TIA

ditto here... all though it will never be as good as a professional cleaning.

I either use the gumout or redline as regular routine maintence every other oil change. I'll be using seafoam though when I install my injectors (they were used for about a year).

If you really want to ensure your injectors are performing as well as they can, I'd suggest sending them out for professional servicing. It's not terribly expensive (around $15 per injector), and they should come back in very good condition:

My injectors are 15 years old. Would a service cleaning like that be recommended? Car runs super peppy but still wouldnt mind having them cleaned since I never knew the service wasnt that much money. Maybe that could solve my horrible fuel economy problem that NOTHING else has fixed.

Sure, especially considering how reasonable the cost is. You'll also get a good idea of the condition they were in, since most shops will provide before/after performance data.
