Cue Silk & Sil Kleen

[rackem]

I am looking for some opinions on these 2 products.
Has anyone tried these products? How well do they work?

They work well and are the same thing from what I understand.

Don't overdo it. Just a drop on a paper towel is all you need.

Also it helps if the shaft is cleaned prior to using it otherwise it can get slightly gummy as it dries interacting with the dirt on the shaft.

There are two different bottles. The Sil Kleen is a little bigger bottle it is I guess a cleaner. The bottle pictured is the Cue Silk, I guess the polish.
They do both say buff. The Sil Kleen says use a cloth buff briskly and wipe with clean toweling. The Cue Silk says put 4 or 5 drops on a paper towel and buff for 30 seconds.

i use the sil kleen powder cleaner and its the best product i've used for cleaning shafts.
i've used the atlas cleaner and the q clean and neither of them work as well.
just clean the shaft and burnish and its as good as new.......

So what's the best way to clean the shaft? One of these products, or should I use...?

If I am not mistaken the Cue Silk is a silicone based product. I have used it and it slicks the shaft up pretty well. The only downside to it is that it attracts dirt so you have to clean the shaft more frequently. Overall, I ike the way the Cue Silk makes the shaft feel.

As far as cleaning goes, nothing beats the erasers.

Exactly what I was thinking Ktown. To use these products in conjunction with the Magic Eraser. The Sil Kleen on the ME to clean. Then buff with the Cue Silk to reseal the shaft wood.:thumbup:
