For cleaning cork grips, try this......

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Read about it on another board and decided to give it a try. Totally removed 8 years worth of grime from 8 rods in about 10 minutes and I hardly had to work at it. Slickest thing I've ever seen for cleaning cork. About $2.80 for a 2-pack at the grocery store in the cleaning dept. Just wet the eraser and rub off the dirt. Super stuff.

Can't wait to try it! I've always used a water/bleach mixture. It works well but your little trick looks better for sure... Thanks for the tip, man...

I just use rubbing alcohol and it works fine.

yeah, this stuff works magic on all kinds of surfaces. I tried everything to remove magic marker that my nephew decided to put on my bedroom wall. Just a couple of swipes with the Mr. Clean and it was gone. I'm sure it would work well cleaning exterior of your boat as well.

I always used a fine grade sandpaper but I will have to try this. Thanks for the tip.

Nice thing about this is that it won't remove any of the cork while cleaning.
