I wouldn't want glass beads anywhere
near my motor.
I clean the ring lands out a piece of old ring.
I scrub the carbon off with a wire wheel. I see no benefit and getting them super clean.
I scrub the cylinder surface (Nikasil) with some soapy water and red (?) scotch brite pad and then clean them in my parts washer which has something in it (lanolin) that leaves a light coating.
Check the ring/grove clearance on every piston. The grooves tend to get pounded out.
