Most effective carbon solvent ?

I have 1 can

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.

I still have over a dozen cans of it.

Hoarder. I tried to buy the original years ago after reading on here. GM said it was discontinued and had something else. The something else just didn't work.

Right. There is a search function.
Also, when typing to create a new topic, doesn't it show similar posts?

Have you used wipe out or carb out ( by the same company) ?

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.

I've always found Sweets 762 to be fairly good at cutting carbon, at least better than BF CLP.
