Re: pole polishin no no's
What did you use for polish? The steel poles I use car wax. Makes them good for a couple of years.

Re: pole polishin no no's
For the inside of the tubes I pull a rag through with polish on it. Then do the same when dry to clean off the haze.

Re: pole polishin no no's
I've heard that silicon spray works well too.

Re: pole polishin no no's
Silicone seems to attract dirt.

Re: pole polishin no no's
What about high speed lubricants? The kind tyhat is used on router bits with bearing guides like laminate counter top flush trim bits. That lube has a different 'feel' to it and does not seem to gather dust or leave a noticeable residue.

Re: pole polishin no no's
We used to use triflow but I just use the cheapest silicon spray I can find. I wipe them down after I clean them and again before they go on carpet. I think I'll try the wax this next time. I use a gun cleaning rod to get the inside. This thread had me rolling when I first read it.
