Interesting. Not agrueing but edjuctae me. I take it he means a cue already with a finish. I would imagine if refinished there would be no signs of pledge anywhere to be found.
I try to learn something new everyday so maybe this is it.

That's the trouble. You can't get rid of the stuff. It's invisible and it gets everywhere. And it gets into every pore, even microscopic ones, so when you try to wipe it off it just gets spread around. You get a tiny amount on your finger, then an hour later touch something else...soon it's on everything in your shop. And then you try to do your refinish job and it's fisheye city!
Pro auto painters: please weigh in.
I worked in a body shop and we NEVER used Armor All or anything like that inside the shop...ever!! It is the devil. I wouldn't worry about it on a cue though. Between the sanding and lacquer thinner(or window cleaner..whatever you use), especially on something so "small", it shouldn't be a problem. I would never....ever.....spray it in my shop though.
If you have ever used Armor All or the like on your dash and gotten some on the window, then you have a good idea of what a PITA it can be.
And why would that be? I mean, what does the age of the finish have to do with it?
I can't speak for Mason but most car clear want you to wait 120-140 days minimum before waxing.
It takes a long time for the solvents to dissipate from clear coats. Waxing too soon will cause the finish to blush.
Meguiars show car glaze is a great choice. It has no sillicone so it is shop safe.

The Pledge would be fine to use on a finished cue butt. Avoid getting it on the wrap or shaft. But to shine your cue it would be better to use polishing material and buff it on a lathe. That way the shine is more permanent. Pledge only gives a temporary shine.
I understand that alright. I didn't get the impression from the OP's initial post that he had just refinished the cue. I took him to mean that he was looking at routine maintenance.
I got some Pledge on my stacked leather wrap once, and it made it so slick the cue was unusable to me. Two years later the stuff is finally breaking down and I can now finally get a grip on the cue.
Mr H
original question....
I was talking about an older cue (20+ years). I had the butt sleave refinished but not the forearm as to not remove the JOSS logo. I wanted to just brighten up the forearm a little. But after all this discussion, I'll just be happy with the way it is. It is not really that much difference, only to me. Thanks for the responses.....
