I cleaned my EVA grip with alcohol,91%, and it looks kind of grayish, and what I wanted to come off stayed, is there a better way to clean the EVA grips?

Lorenzo,
Rather than using sandpaper or something similar, just use Xylene.
There are very few things that Xylene won't clean off and make like new.

What's wrong with soap and water with a toothbrush? WHat is it that you ar trying to clean? IF you have a summers worth of clam or fish slime baked on by the sun - you'll need a differnt cleanser than trying to make the grip look nice for delivery to a customer.
