I like my McDermott G-Core shafts but don't like the G-Core logo printed on them. Is there a way to remove the logo without sanding it off and refinishing the shaft, like Goo Gone or something else? Thanks much.

I'm not sure but I think the logo would have clear over the top of it. If so it will take sanding
I removed the Lucasi logo on my shaft by gently buffing it with 000 steel wool.
Then to restore some shine to that spot I used car wax. Not perfect but pretty good.

Maybe too late now but when I had my custom sneaky built I requested a predator blank so that there would be no logo. Some brands have a sticker but obvious with yours, an option could be to have a cue maker do something there and maybe put an inlay but it sounds like you're trying to avoid all that.
As Bruce mentioned, you could use that, or a very fine piece of sand paper.
As a spot repair, you could buy yourself a small can of Water Based poly and touch up the sanded spot with a small foam brush.
You would definitely have to sand and blend the finish in, but it can be done.
When I refinish the first few inches of a shaft, I use Poly. You can use other finishes, but you'd have to spin the shaft.
You could also try a spray on Poly. If you did it right and taped off the other surrounding area, you might be able to lay down a finer mist and save yourself more work. As in, tape off a square with just your sanded area exposed. And obviously, don't sand an area larger than you need to.
The worst thing that could happen to your shaft is, you could say that you tried.

I know on cars at least you can sand the clear with 1000 to 1500 and compound will bring the gloss back up so I would think you could sand it and keep your clear from going outside of the sanded areas (let the sanded area extend 3 or 4 inches past the cleared area ) let dry and bring it back up with compound. I use this teqnique when blending within a panel on cars.
