Cotton swabs work well on the parts of the slide that you can't reach with an oily rag. They also work well for wiping off the carbon.
I also tend to mostly use paper towels for wiping instead of rags. They can be twisted into various size and shapes for those hard to reach spots.
The bottom line is the M&P series takes much less maintenance than the old blued steel and walnut guns. I used to spend hours cleaning and lubing. If I spend more than 10 minutes cleaning a M&P's, I'm wasting time.
