Most effective carbon solvent ?

Bore Tech Carbon Remover, C4, with a bronze brush. Do know if it's the "best ever" but it's the best I've ever used in removing carbon fouling.

However I use a bronze brush rather than the nylon brush Bore Tech recommends since I believe the mechanical action of the bronze brush aids in quicker removal of carbon fouling.
 
FWIW. Just to be proper. There is no actual "solvent" for Carbon. You are not going to dissolve Carbon. What one is trying to accomplish is to find a surfactant that removes it. One can however dissolve the steel on a barrel. So whatever "solvent" one chooses one should consider what it is doing to steel.
 
Whats the best you have used? RL26 in my .270 is accurate, fast and dirty...thanks
I had a carbon issue that persisted until I used Walmart Super Tech Carburetor and air intake cleaner, also hear that white vinegar works too, although I have not tried that.
