Seafoam plug cleaner?

I am testing this idea:
Soaking the used plugs in Seafoam to remove the carbon.
It seems to work, I will try the best of the resulting plugs after resizing the gap on them tomorrow.

I think it works.
There was a lot of carbon on the bottom of the glass.
(I didn't think to take a picture of the carbon, but it covered the bottom of the glass)
My car is running good on these reused plugs, but I did gap the plugs after they were cleaned.

Your performance is from the gap change.

I would use one of those spark cleaners you can buy at the auto store. They lightly sand spray it.

The ceramic core is my concern.
