Hoppe's #9 solvent to start the cleanup process... use a brass brush where necessary to clean any gummy deposits like dried grease or cosmoline...
Make sure you don't get metal cleaning stuff on the grips...
If it is really nasty ("gunked up" is the same as 'sporko' Guiliano) then use spray carbureator or brake cleaner, then oil liberally once everything is clean. once again, no solvents on the grips.
