I think you're more likely to remove the finish on the outside than the carbon buildup on the inside.

The tennifer is imbedded with the steel. The black outer finish will come off.
Tumblers are made for cleaning brass, Hoppes for cleaning guns.

Why would you. Hopes or other cleaners should do the job just fine.
