AA_Ezra has a very good write up on how to clean up the top of pistons if you decide to do it at all. Using grease to prevent carbon from dropping down the cylinder walls on to the piston rings should work.

I am not sure of step 6.

I do not recommend taking the tip carbon ring off the inside cylinder walls. This carbon ring helps seal the normally worn rings on the compression stroke.
