Well, I gotta agree and admit, using straight soap, the slippage has happened to me. Best to dilute the soap with water.
The WD40 tip works if the grip material is absorbent and compatible enough to soak up the residual lubricant left behind. Other wise you got the same slip issues and it is difficult to get the grip to re-stick after the WD40 contamination.
