I have cleaned quite a few old grimey guns I use windex on the checkering -- apply it with a tooth brush -- really cleans years of sweat & dirt quite easly without removing the old finish. For the rest of the stock I spray the windex on cloth or shop towel & rub it down, then dry with another towel. After drying I apply a coat of stock wax. For stock wax, I like carnauba auto wax - water proof,uv protected. ---Great stuff
Cheers.
