What is carbon cleaning?
Engines build up carbon internally, with deposits like gums, tars and carbon inside petrol or diesel engines. These form due to incomplete fuel combustion, affecting performance and leaving harmful residues.
Carbon cleaning is a safe, non-invasive way to remove these deposits using hydrogen and oxygen. The process improves combustion and breaks down carbon, which is then burned away naturally—no chemicals or engine dismantling required.
Benefits of carbon cleaning:
- Reduced emissions
- Restores performance
- Longer engine life
- Quieter engine operation
- Smoother idling
- Boost fuel economy
- Better throttle response
- Reduced risk of expensive repairs
- Extends engine lifespan
What parts are cleaned?
Combustion chambers, piston crowns, valves, spark plugs, injectors, EGR valves, lambda sensors, and more. Catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are also conditioned during the process.
How often should it be done?
Typically every 10,000 miles or once a year, ideally with a service or MOT. For heavy-use vehicles (like taxis or delivery vans), every 3 months is recommended.
Is it safe for my engine?
Yes, the process used by Wightstone Tyres is completely safe. No chemicals or dismantling involved—just pure hydrogen and oxygen technology that’s gentle on all engines.
