What is the correct way of cleaning the throttle body, by spraying the throttle body cleaning inside the throttle body or by spraying the cleaner in a lint free cloth and then wiping down the throttle body?

Hello,

You can spray throttle body cleaner directly into the throttle body. This will provide you with the best cleaning power.
Just be sure to use the correct type of cleaner.
It will be ideal to remove the throttle body from the vehicle and clean it.

Here is a helpful video and a guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
