you could use 180 grade wetndry to clean them but id say after 2 years there would be a fair bit of wear on them.
If you have a feeler gauge you could sand them back flat and tap them back to 1.5-2.0mm though

I thought these plugs were good for 100,000 K's?
If thats the case I wouldnt worry, maybe later on there life give them a light rub with some fine wet n dry so get rid of any crud.

Hey, you had better replace them pronto, I will send you my address and you had better send them to me! LOL
Bugger me, I have had my NGK standard plugs in for 46,649 K's, (3years 8 mth's,) haven't even looked at them. When I replaced the previous lot at the recommended 40,000, I felt that I was wasting my dosh, as they looked just about as good as the day I put them in.
Come on postman!
