I use Cue Doctor shaft cleaner. It works pretty fine, provided that you clean the shaft often. It also cleans up the ferrule.
Magic Eraser is the bee's knees! I lightly damp one with rubbing alcohol (usually 70% or higher) and dry immediately afterward. I try to avoid any sandpaper except a Q-Wiz from time to time. This method works wonders!:smile:
Depends on whether you wax your shafts. I do, so my routine is this:
1) for very dirty or unwaxed shaft, Magic Erase dampened with 90% isopropyl alcohol, followed by 4000 grit Micro-mesh (piece of brown paper bag or dollar bill would probably work almost as good as the Micro-mesh)
2) When shaft has been cleaned, wax with high quality cue wax, high-percentage carnauba wax, or paste wax
3) To keep a waxed shaft clean, I use alcohol lightly sprayed onto a clean cotton cloth. If you don't get the cloth really damp with the alcohol, it seems to clean the shaft of oils and chalk without removing the wax.

I use "Mothers" automotive instant detailer. It's not a wax and works like a champ
Has anyone ever used this stuff called shark oil?
Just wondering.

one of the instructor guys on here recommended using a pumice based hand cleaner like the ones you get at autozone. Its a mild abrasive which cleans the shaft really well and supposedly there is lanolin in it which waxes and seals the thing. I use the silk-shaft cleaner (or something like that) and it is basically the same thing. Works very well for me.
