Grips on a 1917 DWM- color OK? or is cleaning needed?

Uniform appearance = absence of spots or streaks due to uneven application of oil. Acetone is a volatile solvent which has a high affinity to water and other organic oils. Therefore, I would think that while it is great for removing dirt, dark oils and other unwanted things, it would also severely dry out the wood. This I would want to avoid... comments in the grip cleaning thread link posted by 4Scale, are interesting- his finished grips look really good!!
