Has anyone pulled and cleaned the fuel injectors?

Look for a shop that does sonic cleaning. They usually charge around 50-100bux for a set to be done.

Default Injectors

I use a large bottle of Chevron Techron every 5,000m miles. I have no problems.

the Chevron stuff is great, the gumout does the trick too as its hard for me to find the chevron stuff. The only two that I find actually work. I tried at least 1/2 dozen of the others through the years.

just use something like the previously mentioned cleaners. pulling the injectors isn't really necessary unless you have really high miles.
