Yes, I guess you could say that. You can get them clean as a whistle like this, especially the lower bottoms where all the sludge is sitting.
As far as fork seals go, many times a slight leaker is only doing that because it's dirty. Dirt gets forced down into the seal over time and with use. Just cleaning it out will often times "fix" it.
