Don,
Snap-on and Matco have a spark plug cleaner (sandblaster) at a fair
price. It cleans all the way down teh electrode. I've found it works
well and extends the life of the plugs. However, I change mine after
about 15,000 miles. They are cheap and besides it keeps the engine at
maximum efficency. If there is such a thing.
