deglazing a cylinder?

deglazing a cylinder?

So i pulled off the cylinder of the tzr yday and found some blow by on the piston, ( i think that’s what was causing my spark plug fouling ) so am going to put a new piston kit in it..just wondering what to use to deglaze the cylinder? it’s plated! iv bottle of cheap vodka there would that work?
also i can see the cross-hatching on the cylinder wall but it’s almost gone on the intake and exhaust side so would it be worth my while honing it alwell?
