I think that that Golfsmith stuff is probably really similar to tire cleaner. I use Westley's Bleche-White cleaner on my grips one a month or so if I'm playing a lot. Tires are rubber, grips are rubber -- so... I think that my grips feel like new after using it.
Most tire cleaners today, especially the newer spray and leave type, say not to spray on the tread. So, that type probley won't work. Never thought of using Westley's or Goo Gone.

I used to be a tournament bowler (not a famous one). I used Goo Gone to clean my bowling balls. Anything that'll cut lane oil completely off a bowling ball without harming the urethane will clean your golf grips.
I use a cleaner called "Goo Gone," and water with a sponge about once a month to clean my grips. It pulls all the oil and sweat back out of the grips, and leaves them nice and tacky. Since I started using it, I'm working on my 4th year with the same grips. I don't wear a glove, so this is really important to me. 4 years in the GA heat (and mild winters) should tell you how well it works.
I'm pretty sure the Golfsmith cleaner is a citrus cleaner like Goo Gone but diluted a bit. I use Goo Gone all the time in my shop, I'll have to try it on the grips too. It would probably be a little less expensive that way although the Golfsmith cleaner is not all that expensive.
I have had both lamkin and golf pride. I find that even though they initially feel very similar the GP tour Velvet outlasts/out performs the lamkin crossline. It's personal preference for sure but thats just my

Great idea, I'll try that next time. Normally I'll use just mild liquid soap and warm water and a nylon brush.
