Default carbon removal

Had a couple of my centerfire rifles at my gunsmith's place today. He looked at the bores of each one with his borescope and told me I might need to get some of the carbon fouling from them. Any suggestions about a chemical that would be good to use for this. He showed me something called Carbon Killer. Has anyone on here had any experience with this stuff?? Thanks!

No. Just use carb cleaner from the auto parts store.

Slip 2000 Carbon Killer is very good stuff for fouling in a rifle barrel.
I shoot long range competition with custom rifles and that's all I use.
Alternate wet and dry patches until a tight, dry patch comes out clean.
I follow it up with Montana Extreme Copper Killer to remove copper fouling.
