Cleaning injectors

One of my injectors is dirty causing LOTS of carbon build up in cylinder 4(nearest dizzy). All other cylinders looked ok when I checked the plugs except cylinder 4. I did some research and from what I understand the pros use a ultra sonic bath to free up debris and flush out the injector. At work I have such a machine but I need to know what type of solvent I should use to "bath" the injectors in?
Thanks

Some places charge about $25-40 to clean each injector. This may be a cheaper route.

If its a stock car, i would just flush one injector, if its your boosted D I would go for all four. Usually places throw in a deal if you clean all four. Like $100 cash or something.

It is my daily beater (stock d16y7 woohoo). I just finished sonic bathing the injector in fuel injector cleaner so I guess we'll see if she fires better tommorow. If not I'm gonna sea foam the hell out of it and then see.
