It's a common question, asked periodically, and usually elicits [like that word?] some unusual cleaning methods...

I just cleaned my 1900AE grips with lacquer thinner and an M16 toothbrush; when they were dry, I gave them a coat of BLO, waited 15 - 20 minutes, wiped the excess off, buffed them a bit, and they look pretty much the same except the wood shows through now...
