Default Carbon build up

Whats an easy way to cut down on the carbon build up inside the engine? Not looking to rebuild or anything. Thanks in advance for the responses.

Auto-Rx is rather popular among the Bob Is The Oil Guy crowd.

thanks for the input. Any downs to this product?

note: I jumped to the website and even the most basic application requires a 3500 mile run. I might drive this car 100 miles a freakin month. what advantage would that get me. LMAO.

Can you provide some additional details about the car? Mileage, any particular symptoms you're experiencing, what oil you normally use, etc.?

Car has about 40k miles. Been turbo'd twice. When the car was turboed it burned oil. Now its back to NA and it doesnt burn the oil. Or at least doesnt appear to. Car used to be running Mobil 1 synthetic. I believe it still has the synthetic in there. Car seems to run fine. I do believe the car is runnin rich cause the soot. Just changed spark plugs and saw that carbon was building on the plugs. Dont know how bad it is.

If you are looking to remove the build-up on the valves and cc chamber..Seafoam.

You can do a search for the suggested applications. I'm being lazy.
