How much cleaner can a sensor be if you just spray a fluid onto it and it evaporates? Seems like any grime would likely still be on the sensor. Be careful with spraying crap on these for no reason (like you have <10k mi on the car). A mistake will cost you $232 per side.

I'd suggest you get a scangauge and actually document a problem with your A/F ratios before you start f'ing with sensor cleaning.

I think that's why they have you spray it 15 times, per the instructions on the can. It's just like the PB Blaster. You spray that thing on rusted nuts and bolts a few times and literally watch rust chip off on its own after a few minutes. If they're able to make a fluid that does that to rust, I'm sure they can come up with an equivalent to get grime of sensors.

Exactly. Look up electronic contact cleaners.
