I just bought a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant ES V6 with 70k miles on it and seeing as how I don't know the maintenance history, I'd like to promptly clean up these fuel injectors. How much Lucas UCL would you recommend for a shock treatment? The idle/acceleration is smooth as silk so it seems like I don't have a big mess to clean up...

I'm a huge UCL fan these days, but I don't recommend that product for what your asking for. It is more of a lubricant than a cleaner. Still use it in every tank, but for cleaning run a bottle of straight techron or some other high solvent cleaner. Techron has a flashpoint of around 100F and UCL over 400F. I wouldn't overdue the UCL, stick to 5 ounces or maybe 10 in an avergae tank if you want to be a wild man
Run some Autorx through the crank case too, even more important than treating the gas tank.

Auto-Rx in the engine
Techron in the fuel
RMI-25 in the coolant
And all should be well! Hope I didn't leave anything out. Oh I forgot to mention: The dealer put new brakes, tires, belts, hoses and flushed all fluid before delivery of the car..so I'm looking good on maintenance for awhile!

I agree - do a cleanup with Techron/Amsoil PI/Redline SI-1/Regane, then continue with a per tank dose of UCL or FP.
