ferrule cleaner

Hi Kenny:
Use either Pearl Drops Tooth Polish (in a bottle) or 2000 grit Wet or Dry sandpaper that's available at your local hardware store.
Cut a strip of the sandpaper about 1 inch wide by 6-8 inches long and run it back and forth across the ferrule using the same stroke as though you were polishing a pair of shoes with a rag. And that method will even improve the appearance of the sides of a newly installed tip prior to final burnishing.

I avoid ANYTHING abrasive.
I avoid Magic Eraser® because my (old) package indicates it's NOT recommended on bare wood.
I also avoid cue specific products since thay are mostly nothing more than common ingredients re-packaged at a much higher price.

www.Quick-Clean.com has a shaft cleanner that works well. It is the onley thing i have ever used that takes the blue off the ferruel. I think it is about $5.00 a bottle and will last 6 to 8 months. Hope this helps
lukeinva said:thats true too thats why the dont hold chalk like other ferrules with all that deflection it knocks the chalk right off!!!
Always trade-offs with this game, damn it! Why can't there be a ferrule that is very lightweight, like 1 gram, strong like steel, yet highly non-porous so it repels chalk?
What I use ...
Kroger grocery stores (Dillons here in the Midwest) makes a cleaner
called Orange made from oranges. All natural, a little on a paper towel,
and I clean my shaft and ferrule with it. Non-abrasive, works great.
I use a little Pledge polish on a paper towel after that on my shaft only,
and it keeps it slick.

So Far - SlipStic - Is Great!
I got the new SlipStic product last week from Pete Lafond and so far it is great. Keeping off dirt & chalk while keeping my shaft dry & very slick even in humid conditions. He is supposed to be coming out with a cleaner also in the near future and I hope it works as well.
