What are the methods for dealing with car carbon deposits?

Methods for dealing with car carbon deposits: 1. Clean the throttle valve, which mainly controls the air entering the engine. After removing the engine cover, take off the throttle valve, clean it thoroughly with a cleaner, remember to wipe it dry with a cloth, and then reinstall it to its original position; 2. Find a drip bottle filled with pressurized atomized cleaning agent, inject it into the air intake, where it will undergo a chemical reaction. Just let the engine run to clean it; 3. Use fuel additives, which are specifically designed to clean carbon deposits and can prevent their formation, but be sure to buy high-quality ones; 4. Take the car to a repair shop and let the mechanic disassemble the engine for a thorough cleaning.
I'm very familiar with carbon buildup. Simply put, regularly running at high speeds is the most hassle-free solution. When I drive on highways, I intentionally keep the RPM above 3,000 for about half an hour to ensure thorough combustion in the engine. I also use fuel additives for cleaning—pouring one bottle in before refueling, and after three or four tanks, the effects become noticeable. Of course, driving habits matter too—avoid constantly driving at low RPMs and don’t hesitate to step on the gas when needed. If carbon buildup is severe, a professional cleaning like an IV drip or disassembly may be necessary, but with proper prevention, these measures are rarely needed.
