Finish over leather wrap?

[skor]

Hi,

I have a McDaniel cue with leather wrap. I wanted to clean the cue a bit today after a long session. I usually use a paper towel with a bit of alcohol on other cues. So I did the same with this one..... As soon as I went over the wrap as well (what was I thinking...) the towel went totally black as I removed some kind of finish off the leather...

Did I damaged the wrap? should I apply something to the wrap to protect it?
The leather looks and feel fine but I want to make sure that there is no immediate or long term damage to the wrap/cue.

Thanks for any suggestion.

I would use some black shoe polish. I've used it on my personal Q...JER

Use the black liquid leather dye made for shoes and use clear neutral liquid polish over it.
