I've been using iridium CR8's for the last 2 years. I think they do help cold starts.

Sounds more like you have water getting in the front plug- so you've got the right solution ready to go on the bike. Bit of silicone grease around the plug cap might help too.

Yep- that'll help. GT85 or a degreaser might help too. Soft (ie cheap washing up) brush is good for that sort of work.
