Good morning,

You cannot clean a catalytic converter at all.

Why are you trying to clean the catalytic converter?

There are 2 sensors, one upstream and one downstream.

I attached pictures of the catalytic converters for you.

Because I'm broke a heck and have been directed by multiple people that 'cleaning' it is a do-able cheaper alternative to the shop. So I watched many many videos.
