Is there some type of Additive or solution that I can
put into my gas tank and or the engine oil or both that can clean out my catalytic converter?

Or, if that is not an option, can I physically clean out the deposits in the catalytic converter to avoid buying and installing a new one?

THANK YOU so much.

If the catalytic converter is not doing its job there's no option is except to replace it. Now if your State is not affected by an yearly emission/smog testing you can put a straight pipe on it.
