Another vote for using Parchment Paper on shafts...

One of the best ways I've found to clean a cue shaft is to slightly dampen a paper towel, sprinkle on a little Ajax or comet, rub the shaft down real good, you'd be surprised how much chalk and grime comes off on the paper towel, it also does a great job cleaning the ferrule. Then hit it with the parchment paper. Takes 2-3 minutes, good as new!

Isn't Ajax/Comet very abrasive??
 
The best,safest, and cheapest shaft /cue cleaner is old fashioned "Bon Ami" a soft, powdered cleanser, originally made as a kitchen multi use cleanser... and they've been in biz for many years.

It is not gritty, contain ANY harsh chemical, and works like a dream. Just use a paper towel or hand towel and add a slight amount of water.

You can find it at Walmart or Target etc. for about 2 bucks.

While I had previously used "Q-clean" it is a bit abrasive, costly, and I heard it contained bleach.

The "Bon ami" is awesome and lasts forever. I have no worries using it weekly on my cue. There is no equivalent for the money.

Got this pointer, from my cue maker.
 
Here is an uncleaned 314/2 with a Kamui clear at the top and a less soiled Schmelke with a Moori medium.

Each is perfectly smooth so I merely applied the parchment paper just to give it a try.
