John H., I have scrubbed down several sets of filthy grips in the kitchen sink using a tooth brush and Lysol 'Direct' which is a pretty good grease eater. When they are finished they look a horrible greyish color but when completely dry the normal color will return. When they are dry I put a couple of coats of Birchwood Casey Gun Stock Wax on them using a tooth brush, wipe them dry, then buff with another tooth brush. A word of caution here though, if the pistol looks well used, the grips should also look well used. A battle weary Luger with nice clean grips instantly raises a warning flag, something is not right, if you get the drift of what I'm saying. Most of mine are shooters so it doesn't really make much difference as to the appearance, if the pistol is refinished go ahead and do the grips too.
John D., I love your avitar, great one!!
