Oil fouled need to be torch burned off. Carbon fouled just need wire brush clean.

If your using br7es resistor plugs make sure your using non resistor plug cap.
You can only have one resistor in the circuit or it'll run like crap.

That's really not a good idea if you actually mean SAND paper and it's not an American v English terminology. You'll score your bores to bits if you accidentally leave any bits of residue in/on the plug.

No mate. In br7es plugs the R stands for resistor. It's actually built into the plug. So if your using br7es plugs you can't use a plug cap that has a resistor built into also. Two resistors in the line will severely impead your spark performance and........... foul your plugs.
You want either a resistor plug or a resistor cap but not both or no resistors at all.

If you want to brush them up after burning (or in place of) there are specific brass brushes cheaply available specifically for this purpose
