I don't know what effect this would have on a grip....I suspect none...but Brake Cleaner [not carburetor cleaner] is a wonderful cleaner/solvent....and dries with out a residue....I've used it for years mostly on guns.
I'd have a tendency to go with the goo gone, or another orange solvent. If the orangie odor is too much after the cleaning, a bit of Soft Scrub would take care of that.
First, I thought that I had some mineral spirts, but I didn't. Then I was going to go shopping and buy something and finally I just put some WD40 on a cloth and rubbed a little and it was gone. Looks great and the WD40 didn't soak into the cork or stain it. Thanks for the help guys, worked like a charm. Not that the rod is a $2K cane rod, but the ST. Croix, Legend Elite is still a nice rod and I wanted to keep it looking like I at least tried to take care of it. I plan on using it for many years, not just a season or two.
Thanks again,
Rick
Glad it worked for you. WD-40 is amazing stuff. And the fish like it, too. :D
Clay, Glad you got it off. For what it's worth, I've had great luck removing tar stains with lighter fliud. Not charcoal lighter, but regular cigarette lighter fluid, like Ronsonol, or Zippo. Squirt a little bit on a clean rag and wipe it off.
