Acuerate Cues is now flogging cue wipes and according to the video I saw with Nic Barrow they do take all the crap off the shaft and bring the finish back to 'as new'. The problem is they are a little expensive for what they are, at least in my opinion. Check out the Acuerate website.

I'm sure if tested side by side with a spot of hot water on a decent cue towel there would be no difference, other than your pocket being a bit lighter? I played tonight in the club heating on full and sweating cobbs, cleaned my cue at the beginning of the night and my hands every frame, and no issues, and I would challenge the majority of our members to sweat more than I do in a room full of old codgers that have the temperature set at at least 25 degrees! I now pretend to turn the radiators off just to see them run to the committee to report me, I also remind them it will be hot enough were there going in the not to distant future!No one is listening until you make a mistake!

For the last month I have been scrubbing my hands and have cleaned my cue to within an inch of it's life (just water and drag the chalk off).
I have tried white spirit which feels fine for a while and then the cue again feels a little sticky. As regards the cue, I am aprehensive about sanding it (and it's not varnished) so thought I'd pose the question prior to wire wool etc, it's an ash cue by the way.
My hands have also seemed to sweat a little for the last month (I've played for 30 years) and last night I was on 26 and went to role a reasonable red in with a pink over the middle bag and the cue almost jumped on the way through and I jawwed it.
Well there you have it and no I couldn't wear a glove (I get enough stick as it is) and not sure about the baby powder just yet. I'd like to eliminate the cue first so looking for peoples opinions on how to clean / refurnbish the cue so it's perfectly clean ready and then maybe the other hand ideas (feel free to discuss both though!).

A lot of mention of using the damp cloth , then dry cloth on the cue.
I do this at the begining of the night, but Ialso take a cue towel , about 1/3rd damp ( 2/3rds dry would you believe ).
I use this on my bridge hand as required, and it seems to work.
Give this a try, and see if this helps.
