My buddys dad used to have a mini sand blaster mounted to his work bench, made just to clean spark plugs.
You guys remember those?
I bought one last summer for outboards, tho I haven't used it much "yet." I have yet to find a very cheap source of abrasive. Old two strokes are hard on plugsMy buddys dad used to have a mini sand blaster mounted to his work bench, made just to clean spark plugs.

My plugs get cleaned every time I take my car out for a drive; how else can they have gone so many many miles, seasons, and years........ Oh wait, maybe the Accell SuperCoil has something to do with it. Well, maybe that and, that I run the engine a tad rich, on 87E10, you know; the alcoholized crap that everyone likes to malign..
The last time they came out was in winter of 2004/2005, at the last freshening; never chemically cleaned nor regapped. I'm pretty sure those Champion Coppers were first installed in 1999, at the first assembly.
Your results may vary,lol.
No better way for someone to drop grit in their motor. Had to replace a customer sea doo motor cause it went down the transfer ports and got into the crank bearings.
Plugs are still cheap, so I won't be.
Besides, most ngk's I've replaced were fuel fouled, and the porcelain itself was compromised.
I've been running it since 1999, so don't hold yur breath, lol.Just wait. I will be here to say I told you so.
If someone is to dumb to blow them out after cleaning, that is a different problem….
You say that, but I've seen plenty of grit shoved in against the insulator and blowing them out didn't do much to get it loose.
So, do we get rid of every tool that someone can’t operate properly?
