Best way to remove carbon off the top of pistons???...I got some off but half of it is damn stubborn...pistons are out of engine*

Green - scotch brite pad. A little WD40 helps loosen it up with the pot scrubber.
Deosn't touch / take off metal while you are polishing.

Gasket remover spray is great stuff for removing most anything... including paint.

Be careful with that stuff. Wear gloves. It does a great job of removing just about anything it touches.... and it will burn the skin.
