Craig,
what would you recomment for a shaft? I have used Butcher's Wax for the last year with good success, but I guess there is always room for improvement
Best regards,
Detlev
When I bought my Gina I asked Enie what to use on the shafts. He said to use talc that has lanolin. I don't think that he would give bad advice and feel that he knows more about cues than I do. :yeah:
Honestly Clean Hands are a Key to keep your Cue looking NEW. I SWEAT, and Always have a Soft Towel, or Cotton Rag to dry my hands, also when done playing I whipe everything down to get the Dust & Sweat off.
Also Cue Wax monthly does wonders to keep Butt Sections looking NEW.

You Guys R Da Nutz!!!!!!!!!
A new poolroom opened fairly close to my house last year, which was Fantastic since it eliminated an 8-10 mile drive to get to the previously closest room. The only problem was that the new room had the tables covered with burgundy Simonis. This limited the chalk color selection to RED.
I don't know if you guys know what 20 hours of play every week with red Master chalk does to a cue, but it ain't pretty. I have a Schon Ltd. loaded up with ivory and the cue looked awful with a red patina.
I tried warm soapy water, Pledge and a few other things, but the red tinge would fade a little after cleaning, but would still be there. I never thought of using a car wax. I was like several of the other posters here and figured that since it's wood it should be cleaned and polished with furniture polish.
After reading these posts I broke out the NXT Generation Tech Wax by Meguiar's and WaaaLaaaaa! Perfect. My Schon looks as good as the day I bought it. I figured I would've had to live with it until I sent it in for a refinishing. Thanks God I don't! What's even better is I've resisted using a nice Barnhart I picked up at VF this year because I didn't want the same thing to happen to that cue. Now I can play with either and not worry thanks to you guys! THANKS!!!
One last word, the red chalk turns white Irish linen into pink Irish linen - and that problem I don't think can be cured with an over-the-counter remedy. It'd be too late for me if there was something that cleaned Irish linen anyway, since I had the wrap changed to leather because of this problem.
Now, what's the best product to restore leather to like-new condition??
Thanks again, and I really mean that,
