If you fancy using wire wool, johno,, then you use it. My cues will never see either wire wool or sandpaper - except emery on the tip.

Using a damp cloth is not the best idea if you use it too often, or, if you scrub the surface of the cue with it, as it will have the same effect as steel wool over a long enough period. It will wash the finish out of the timber, especially the softer parts, such as the grain (or growth ring), leaving the shaft feeling coarse and excessively worn.Comment

A microfibre cloth works wonders for me! The Craftsman I'm off to sell in a bit is the smoothest cue I've ever had the joy to play with, it's like silk.
Indeed the Trustroke that came to me rather grimey has come up fantastic with nothing other than a good rub with a microfibre cloth!One day I'll make a century, I've knocked in a 51!

Is it any microfibre cloth you use DWOT or a particular type, where did you
get it ?Comment

I would think any microfibre cloth will do, as long as it is not a coarse one. If feeling like mine needs a wipe down, then would just use a soft cloth.
When playing many years ago, would just use a cloth, very slightly damp and do not mean wet on my Ye Olde Ash.
The cues that Trev has made me, have not seen a cloth at all and they get used about five mornings a week. But suppose I am lucky, in the fact, that, my hands do not get sweaty and Trevs cues seem to be much silkier than the Burwats ever did. But the Burwats were good cues.
