Croakus Cloth is aka Jeweler's Cloth......it's used to polish gold........ most customers don't like gold being rubbed off their jewelry from being polished.......just saying.
Anyone that's used the wax I mentioned can chime in and add their two cents.......it's the best darn wax I've ever used......and when I do treat my cue shafts, I usually burnish the shafts and then apply 3-4 coats of wax over the course of a day.
You can PM Azer Tommy Hill and ask him about the cue shafts for any of my cues or even how the cue shafts turn out that I refinish for friends for free....at no charge......as long as you don't neglect or abuse your cue shafts, they can and will remain in really good condition.
Every time I play pool I always clean the table and rails ........the amount of chalk residue that's removed from the rails is amazing unless it's a table I've recently played on.......but even within a span of a week the chalk buildup is startling........it's comes as no great surprise why some cue shafts gradually become dirty and can discolor.

It ( CROKUS cloth, a retail version called "micro mesh" ) was touted as the next big thing in the late 80's for cue shaft finishing.. MANY people used it.. Just sayin' too..
The point is, don't listen to everyone you meet especially if they don't work with cues for a living... Which I think was YOUR advise.. Something we can agree on..

Skins.....yup, I do not work with cues for a living but my money is just as good as anyone else's and when it's my cue, I do what I know works from first hand experience.
Allow me to assist you with grammar usage which obviously isn't your strong point..........advice is a noun.....advise is a verb......."Which I think was YOUR advise."..
.I just broke my new rule by just responding rather than just ignore you but I'll try much harder in the future as I'm confident you will about using proper grammar.

Well, grammar police
, I know the difference but as I've had to state before BLAME Apple... IPad spell correct is the issue. But since you HAD to go there, it's CROKUS not CROAKUS... That for sure isn't Apples fault.. LMFAO..Thats now at least two schools you need to get a refund from... Just too funny!
For what it's worth Matt, I'm glad you're "back"....
yAh, jOst tOW FunY...
I was curios about other informations that is in that sheet about Cue care, like taking care about butt and wrap etc. Thank you.
Sorry, my scanner is on the fritz. See below. Ok cannuba wax on wood in butt sleeve or forearm, not linnen or cork. Cream on leather wrap.

One addition: I do like to use the finest sanding fleece (made of plastic fibres) there is when wood gets dirty or grey or needs a real refinish. Also am a big fan of 000 steel wool (again, the finest for polishing).
But you really should know what you're doing, be patient and consistent when working :wink:
I do not like the skunky shafts you see with most pros ("patina"); I like to keep mine well-cleaned and the maple shall be whitish.
Also did a nice refinish with used guitar necks, where the maple shines again and displays an almost 3D like quality after waxing with my special formula.
Cheers!

I like mine clean too. When I get a new cue or shaft I seal it with Renaissance Wax so I don't have to worry about how to clean the chalk off in the future. I've had my Mezz now for about a year and it still looks and feels brand new.
