I think the first question would be why do you wish to do so (I'm referring to the S&A treatment of the bowl)? Perhaps if that question was answered more definitive help could be given. If it's simply a matter of cake build up just some 220 grit sandpaper wrapped around your finger (which ever one will fit the bowl easily) will do the trick nicely as I'm not all that crazy about reamers.
Just use the blade on your pipe tool regularly to keep any thick cake from building. I use a doubled over bristled pipe cleaner in the bowl after every smoke and sometimes twist a wad of paper towel into it. You can brush the shank clean with alcohol and just make sure it dries out good. If more than that is required, get a new one.
+1 on settersbrace's methods. I was very late to the cob but I love them and they're soooo easy! I keep any kind of liquid away from them unless it's on a cloth or pipe-cleaner as I don't fancy trying to light papier-mache!
