By in large all of the quick treatments are forms of solvent like petroleum naphtha designed to wash the deposits off quickly. In the case of combustion chamber deposits a slow stream of water will do wonders when converted to vapor in the chamber.
Technicians tend to use this route to fix a customer complaint since it is a quick fix that generally shows vast improvements over the pre cleaned condition. The danger with any of the rapid techniques is dislodging large pieces of debris that can cause problems elsewhere in the system. Thus the use of high quality detergents such as Techron mentioned previously. It is in a class of rather costly additives known as PEA or Polyetheramine. In the long term use of this type of additive will provide the best results with the least amount of down time.
