Yes, restored and cleaned up bats are both acceptable. What you want to avoid doing is taking a professional game used bat and removing the ball marks, rack marks, pine tar etc but having deadwood, chips and cracks repaired is acceptable and wont hurt the value.
As far as cleaning store model bats, a clean one will sell for more than a cruddy one.
