Taking carbon off cylinders without removing them

I can use a plastic die grinder wheel on them and remove the crap easily, but I'm wondering if it's a big deal for the particles to get in the rings of if it will just burn out or get cleaned out with the first oil change.
Thoughts?

Brake cleaner or Berryman's B12 will do the trick!

I just did this, brake clean and a scotch brite works great. Just bring the piston up to the top of the cylinder, spray with brake clean, light scrub with a scotch brite, and either use a shop vac or some rags to clean up the mess.
