Q Clean creme is not much more than Vim, repackaged.
In fact, you can use Vim to clean your shaft.
It has a mild abrasive in it.
Nothing wrong in using 600 or higher to get the initial garbage off the shaft.
Magic Eraser with Alcohol or ammonia is fine. Ammonia can give off nasty fumes so it would be a good idea to use eye protection and a respirator.
But ammonia does work well.
Remember, when barring the wood on a shaft, its a good idea to seal the wood again with a sanding sealer or shaft sealer.
Tung oil eh? I have a product, Dr. Wellwood or Dr.Woodwell ( have to go check on the name) It is essentially an oil like Tung oil. I have used it on a butt instead of clear. Does a beautiful job.
I'll have to try it on a shaft this afternoon. They have a web site. Check it out.
But in the long run, I have not found anything that deep cleans better than ME.
A lot of repair men and players use it. If there were any horror stories associated with ME, you would have heard about them long before now.
Well, other than prolonged use can make your finger nails fall out.
