Shaft cleaning (found a great new way)

I have always been a huge fan of cue doctor shaft cleaner. I usually dab it on a dry paper towel, spin on my lathe and go up and down the cue shaft. I remembered in waxing cars how they recommend to use a damp cloth when waxing your car. I decided to try a damp paper towel with the cue wax. Wow - the results were amazing. I cant remember my shaft feeling this clean since it was new. The important key is a DAMP towel - not wet. I stick on hand underneath the faucet and use one paper towel to get the correct dampness. Try it and I think you will be amazed with the results (especially if you have a lathe).

Hey Joey - Its called Cue Doctor Cue Shaft Cleaner and Conditioner. Small container - yellow wrapping on outside. I have found this to be all you need as it leaves your cue VERY slick (no wax needed). Been using the stuff for years but never tried it with a damp towel. Just thought I'd pass along my experience with it.

Jon,

I come on AZB because I love the game & want to learn & help where I can.

But...guys like you keep distracting me & making me remember one of my other loves with all of your sexy avitars.

Can all of you please stop. I'm trying to focus on pool.:wink:

Thanks,

I'm now going to go play Cowboys & Indians with my wife.:wink:

Makes me feels like Tim the Tool Man Taylor when I let that baby rip on my shaft.
