For bolt cleaning I use these very specialized pieces of equipment.

I use P1200 or even P800 wet-and-dry emery paper on the bolt stem. Just a quick spray with the old WD40 and a few quick twists round the bolt stem where the carbon builds up and good to go. I also use the Botach tool with some flannelette over the scraping end and a few twists inside the carrier does the business. Plenty of the dreaded WD40 helps loosen up the cake and spray the inside of the receiver, especially after suppressed to sluice it all out.
Also have the OTIS Bone tool which does the same thing as the Botach but the Botach works better for me because it's thin enough to add a layer of cloth over it to give a couple of rotations inside the carrier.
It all gets rubbed dry with paper towels and oiled with whatever motor oil is lying around. I get that emery paper and WD40 is not everyone's cup of tea but works for me and has done for years.
