well for one not only does the "double glow" procedure increase ignition wear "double" but it also does no good whatsoever infact it may hurt the glowplugs if anything. the glowplugs reach a temp of about 4k degrees in 15 seconds i belive was the secret number, so yeah.. glow it once, start the car drive off.
