Is it possible to clean up plugs covered in soot? They're otherwise undamaged. Would wet-or-dry paper on the electrodes do?
Cheers,

I'll probably get a grilling for this, but...
Modern spark plugs shouldn't be cleaned, only replaced. I think I read this in my workshop manual, but maybe on here. I don't know if anybody knows any more about this?

Modern spark plugs can be cleaned, it's the palladium etc types you are meant to be careful with ie. no sandpaper. The ones in my 205D need cleaned all the time...........

Stick them back in a working engine - that'll soon burn off the soot.
Or use a gas blowlamp - same thing.
