There is, or was, a product called "Carbout" which was used the same way, 
including as in your above reference.  I assume it worked because it was a 
popular product at our Cadillac dealership back in  pre-injection days. 
Many Cadillacs were driven by older drivers who lugged them around the city, 
resulting in carbon buildup, and the starting, pre-ignition and run-on 
problems it can foster.  The dealership had a young guy who's job it was to 
drive those Cadillacs around de-carboning them.  He would take each Cadillac 
out for a spin in town to get it warmed up, then head out for a fast run on 
the highway leaving a "jet trail" behind him.   I do not know if Carbout is 
still sold.
