Wraps ...
If you take care of your cue, watch out for it, and don't play with dirty hands, it should not get dirty, IMO. And, if for some reason it does, you probably need to have it refinished and rewrapped anyway. It is only about $80-$100 to have done, or just get a leather wrap to begin with.
Besides, I see SO MANY cues that would look better with something other than the black with white speck wraps that so many cuemakers put on cues.
