Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Extra Durable, Multi Purpose Cleaner, Shoe, Bathroom, Shower, and Car Window and Windshield Cleaner, Cleaning Pads, 10 Count https://a.co/d/5RjQSwyHi all,
I've been a way from the game and this lovely forum for years but I'm doing a comeback...
I have a bunch of cues that I haven't touched in years and I took them all out to check them.
I have this Sugartree SP that I've noticed these stains on it's shafts and butt that I can't seem to be able to remove them. I've tried alcohol, acetone, general wipes.
The cue is stored in a Sterling 4X8 case (JB design) that is fully loaded and non of the other butts or shafts show these stains.
it's not from playing with the cue, one shaft is unplayed and with the other shaft I played 2-3 sessions when I got it. It even looks like it's under the finish...
Any idea how to clean it without damaging the cue?

My thought was he should try a cotton sock and keep the cue in the case.When i first read the thread title, "weird stains on my cue", i was really glad to see that it didn't have anything to do with tittybars or strippers.![]()
I'm thinking it is the case too. To test this theory I would suggest to take a damp cloth and wipe the interior to see if dye is coming off of it.
Why start now??I had a lewd comment in mind, I'll refrain.
I put nothing on the cue!! I know how to take care of my cues...The dye obviously came from the case (based on the evidence/story provided). "Why" is the question. It isn't that the dye just magically transferred to one cue, it isn't likely because of a bit of atmospheric dampness. I really expect that it was something that was put on the cue as a cleaner or polish that leached the dye. Waxes, silicone, oils, solvents all have the ability to leach dye. The OP put acetone (!!) on his cue--which is close to the worst substance a normal person will have on hand for finishes. If he did that, what about all the other things he is willing to put on a cue?

I buy the knockoff magic eraser sheets on amazon, cut them in have and keep 6 or so halves in my bag for light cleaning then finish with a q-wiz. For deeper cleaning alcohol or white gas works very well with the same sheets then, again, finish with a q-wiz...Finally was able to get it cleaned... Used magic eraser with alcohol (before I've tried separately)
I’m gonna give that a try. My friend who’s done cue work for 40 years suggested the same idea. Looks great!Finally was able to get it cleaned... Used magic eraser with alcohol (before I've tried separately)
