Carbon Clean is a specialist manufacturer of professional engine cleaning and DPF restoration systems used by independent workshops, main dealers and fleet operators worldwide. Their machines remove carbon deposits from fuel systems, intake valves, EGR valves and diesel particulate filters without requiring engine dismantling, reducing workshop time and delivering measurable improvements to vehicle performance and emissions.
Optimotive is an authorised Carbon Clean distributor in the UK, supplying the complete range of cleaning systems together with consumables, training and ongoing technical support.
We supply the following Carbon Clean systems:

The CC14 Pro uses hydrogen and oxygen generated from water to clean the internal surfaces of petrol and diesel engines while the engine runs. A session takes around 30 to 45 minutes and targets carbon deposits on injectors, intake valves, EGR valves, pistons and exhaust systems.
Carbon build-up is one of the most common causes of rough running, increased fuel consumption, failed emissions tests and premature component wear. The CC14 Pro addresses these symptoms without any engine dismantling, making it a straightforward service add-on for any workshop. No gas cylinders are required: the machine generates oxyhydrogen on demand from tap water and a proprietary solution.
Workshops typically charge between £80 and £150 per treatment. With consumable costs well below that, the machine delivers a rapid return on investment alongside strong ongoing margins.
The DCS range uses a three-stage process to restore diesel particulate filters: a pre-soak with cleaning fluid, a hot water flush, and a drying cycle. The DPF is removed from the vehicle and cleaned in the machine, which is more thorough than in-situ chemical treatments and far less expensive than DPF replacement.
The DCS16 is sized for passenger cars and light vans and runs on a standard 13A supply, making it accessible to any workshop. The DCS16 Pro, DCS17 Pro and DCS20 Pro offer higher throughput, larger filter capacity and faster cycle times, suited to vans, trucks and high-volume operations.
A successfully cleaned DPF restores backpressure to factory specification and resolves DPF warning lights caused by blockage rather than sensor failure. Combined with a remap or software correction where appropriate, the result is a complete DPF restoration at a fraction of replacement cost.
Both services generate recurring workshop revenue with low labour demand. A CC14 Pro treatment runs unattended while the technician works elsewhere. A DCS cleaning cycle typically completes in under an hour, with consumable costs a small fraction of the customer charge.
Workshops commonly report that adding carbon cleaning and DPF services improves customer retention, increases average invoice value, and attracts work that would otherwise go to specialist DPF cleaning centres. Most machines pay for themselves within months of installation at typical workshop volumes.
Training is straightforward and most workshops are fully operational within a single day. Optimotive provides ongoing technical support and consumable supply throughout the life of the machine.
For most independent workshops, the CC14 Pro for engine cleaning or the DCS16 for DPF work are the natural starting points. The DCS16 runs on a standard 13A supply and requires no specialist installation. Contact us to discuss your situation and we can help you assess which machine fits your customer base and expected volumes.
The CC14 Pro uses a proprietary solution and tap water to generate oxyhydrogen gas. The DCS machines use a specialist cleaning fluid. Optimotive supplies all consumables and can advise on typical consumption rates to help you calculate ongoing costs accurately.
Yes. Training is included with machine purchase. Most technicians are proficient with both machines after a single day. Optimotive provides ongoing support and Carbon Clean’s UK technical team is available for more complex questions.
