Carbon removal trick?

I was up at the dealership today, and we were discussing diesels, and how to get them to start easier in cold weather. One of the guys in the parts department had this done to his Mercedes-Benz once. He had the glow plugs taken out, the plugs and the sockets where the glow plugs go in the engine were cleaned off with a special little brush. Then, with the glow plugs out, he turned the ignition, and that got some of the carbon to come out. After that, it started up real good with the plugs back in. So I just want to know if anyone here has tried that out.
