How to Clean your Cue???

dry terry cloth towel for butt & wrap.
I use the same towel to wipe down the shafts after playing.
But to really clean the shafts, i have not found ANYTHING that works better than the Mr. Clean magic erasers. They work better than anything else i've tried period.
After cleaning the shafts with the magic eraser, i'll clean it again with a hot steamy terry cloth...(slightly dampen & put in microwave for 30sec)
then just burnish the shaft with a dry paper towel.
done.

After use dampen a cloth with denatured alcohol.. very little water content, and wipe down the ferrule and shaft. Then burnish with leather. No damage due to water. No loss of wood due to abrasives.
Magic Eraser is the best for ground in dirt but it leaves the shaft in need of a little sanding... not much but just a little. No need to use this on a new shaft but if your shaft is dirty now just dampen the Magic Eraser with alcohol and clean the shaft. You'll be amazed! Then sand very lightly with 600 grit and again with 1000 or 1500 and then burnish w/leather. I'm not an expert but I think an expert will tell you the same.
Just clean w/the alcohol and burnish w/leather after every use!
Congratulations on the quality cue acquisition.

I wipe shaft down with 90 percent alcohol about once a month, then I burnish the shaft and whipe cue down with a terry cloth
91 percent alcohol and a mizerak cue whiz !
I wipe down my stick with 91 percent alcohol and burnish with a Steve Mizerak Que Whiz briefly everytime after a session of play. It is a 1 minute
process. My cue stays very clean and smooth as glass. Try it , you,ll like
it !!!

Wow
I was just thinking about the band Fishbone the other day! They were playing one of their songs on the radio for a flashback retro show and I was feeling old. I think I had their first album.. U-G-L-Y and you ain't got not alibi. Great band!
Anyway, I too have a McDaniel that I love and take care of. Everyone's suggestions for cleaning are very good. I use a damp clean towel and make sure I dry it afterwards. When it needs a serious cleaning I use Qclean but I heard Magic Eraser works great too. But I HIGHLY recommend washing your hands often when you're playing. Not only does it help to keep your cue clean its like refreshing your body for the games ahead.
Post up some pics in the gallery so we can check out the new cue!!

I was told to wipe it down with old fashion lighter fluid, seems to do the job also.
I use
"Orange" (Kroger product), made from oranges on a paper towel, then dry it with a clean paper towel.
I, then, do the same with "Pledge".
I usually do this about once a week (before a weekly or special tournament).
And burnish inbetween with leather burnisher (from Jack Justis).
