Is Carbon Cleaner Really Effective?
2 Answers
Carbon cleaner is effective. Performance of carbon cleaner: It has strong capability to remove engine carbon deposits, can replace gasoline, kerosene and organic solvents for automobile engine cleaning, saves petroleum resources, and poses no harm to human health from organic solvent toxicity. Suitable for degreasing and cleaning automotive parts, leaving them bright as new while maintaining the original luster of metal materials. Other methods to clean engine carbon deposits: Directly add the cleaner into the fuel tank to mix with fuel. When the vehicle starts, the cleaner will enter the combustion chamber along with the fuel. As the cleaner enters the combustion chamber, it will clean the carbon deposits inside the engine to a certain extent.
I've been driving for over a decade, and carbon cleaner does work, but it's not a cure-all miracle drug. It mainly targets carbon deposits in the engine combustion chamber and fuel injectors. Carbon buildup is the residue left from incomplete fuel combustion, which can make the car run rough. Every time I add the cleaner, I feel the engine runs smoother, and fuel consumption drops a bit. However, the effect depends on the car's condition; if the carbon deposits are too thick, the cleaner won't be enough, and you'll need professional cleaning equipment. Be careful when choosing brands—low-quality products might corrode parts or even damage the engine. I recommend using it every 5,000 kilometers as part of maintenance, along with good fuel and smooth driving. Don't expect it to solve all problems alone. For serious issues, it's better to visit a repair shop.
