as a powder its a bit difficult to apply and after rubbing it with a
sponge and water, the residue was somewhat difficult to remove.

Spark plug cleaning by
Stormin Mormon
My Dodge van has 8 cylinders. Eight plugs. Two bucks each. $16. I know
that's not a heck of a lot of money, but it hurts to throw them out just
cause they have a little bit of carbon on them.
How to clean spark plugs? Ideas?
