Bad/fouled plugs go in the garbage can for me.

In an emergency, I picked up a can of Gumout and a wire brush and was back on the road within an hour.

Had fouled plugs due to rain once, (open to air air filters suck in the rain).  I pulled over at a McDonalds and pulled out my toothbrush.  Cleaned the plugs using the toothbrush and that hand sanitizer alcohol #$%*.  Put them back in and was back on my way once the rain stopped.  Next overnight stop I replaced my toothbrush...  :o

A small can of contact spray/ head cleaner(A/V) should do for most fouling, but I'm with Dave spare plugs.
Bill the demon.
Oh yeah as an after thought try for the cleaner with out the lubricant.

Had one of those some decades ago. Should have listened when a buddy told me not to buy anything at Grand Auto that doesn't come in a can.

Not worth the $5.99 shipping, let alone the $60 (LMAO!!!) seller wants for it.

Buy a few new plugs instead.

$60 bucks of plugs goes a long way.
