OP if you are still around.....Did you soak the cat first or did you just run it though the washer?
Yeah...Scotty Kilmer is a funny one. I guess from what we understand what "washing" is...I guess this would technically be washing the converter. No, washing it with soap will not remove the baked on deposits off of the catalyst.

I didn't soak the converter prior to engaging the pump. I just let the solution do it's job. Kinda like what Lime-A-Way does to lime deposits in yer bathroom.
