cleaning carbon from engine parts

I'm cleaning up some pistons for a project and found this stuff in a youtube video and it did a brilliant job.



It doesn't seem to be available here.

Does anyone know of a similar product available in the UK

link to stuff

One of the search results links to a forum where they lament that 'it wasn't as good as it used to be'. I suspect it's carbon cleaning properties are much reduced nowadays, similar to a long list of 'watered down' products available on this side of the pond. As an example I seem to remember a thread about the diminished capabilities of Gunk recently.

Sounds about right - I know paint stripper isn't what it used to be either.
