How to clean a clogged particulate filter

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Diesel particulate filter

In this video, we are recommended a product for cleaning the particulate filter, which is worth trying, even though it is necessary to disassemble the component to clean it. It is a product that we can find on additiviblue, listed as "F.A.P. cleaning liquid" for 107.36 euros for a 5-liter container. It is an Italian product made by a small company, and the reviews we have read are excellent. If we do not intend to do such a radical job, the same company also offers a product called "particulate filter activator," which is to be added to the fuel to promote combustion and regeneration of the DPF while the vehicle is in operation, priced at 19.83 euros.
