Getting rid of carbon deposits

Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning out an engine. Are there any products I can put in the gas or down the carb that will knock some of the old carbon loose and blow it out the tail pipe.

A mechanic buddy recommended letting the car idle up to temp and slowly pouring brake fluid down the carb until the car died. He said leave it for about 15-20 minutes. He then said to start the car up (it will be hard to start) and drive the hell out of it. A ton of crap will come from the tail pipes. Repeat as necessary. After that, he said I might have to change plugs. I am a little worried about this method. Any thoughts?
