On Gas Turbines, when we're running residual or untreated crude oil, we would get deposits on the hot sections. These were not just carbon but also vanadium and other stuff you don't want on the GTs. THe primary thing we did was run water into the combustors, soak the carbon deposits, then fire the units up. The vaporizing water would break up the carbon depositis. You might be able to simulate this by soaking the part in water the hitting it with a very high temp concentrated heat gun.
