Hello all.. I recently bought a cue on ebay, it's a nice looking cue and plays well. But the shaft is really filthy, bluing bad and grimy. Is there anyway to get it good and clean with out harming it?? Also, are any of the things they say are to condition it any good. Such as waxes,shark oils, Q slick?? Thanks for the help!!

Many thread topics on this. Doing a quick search would get you tons of results.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works well. Followed up with a wipe down of lighter fluid or high % alcohol, then a good burnishing.
I cleaned up a 19 year old shaft and made it look brand new.

I would not ever use alcohol on one of my shafts because alcohol off the shelf usually contains a very high percentage of water. Water will possibly make your shaft warp.
Denatured alcohol then?Arnot Wadsworth said:
Kinda toxic though.
Mineral spirits ?
mr clean eraser dampened in denatured alcohol, then some 2000 grit sandpaper to take the edge off and burnish it, super smooth
Leave it to the Pros
Have you considered taking it to a qualified technician? With that much use it probably needs a tip as well. If the tip on it looks useable, who is to say that it is the hardness you desire.
I say leave it to the Pros if you have one within 30 miles or so.
