What is the best way to remove carbon?

I tried using a spray bottle on a heavy mist today and.... nothing. Not sure if I didn't use enough water, or if there just might not be a build up of carbon for the water to dislodge.

Its not exactly like your gonna see chunks of carbon flying out of the tail pipe. When I did this it didn't seem to make much of a difference till I went out for a drive. How much water did you use?
 
Not that much Pete. A couple squirts on a misting setting, not much at all. Didn't even result in the car stumbling.
 
You'll want to see white "smoke" from the exhaust, engine protesting... If ya are gonna get enough in there to do the job, anyway.
