Lol!!!! This is a hard subject because body Chem has so much to do with it and we are all different. I called xpole today because my old one is stuck together in the middle, but anyway. Lol!!! Now I am thinking for me chrome or brass. I like my chrome now that it is broken in. She told me that titanium eventually will become 2 toned because of the coating. That bothers me a bit because I will hopefully have the pole forever.

Hey,Chem! That link did not work. What is the tool called??? We may need it.

[luvlee]

Thank you for all the replies. Yes. I fear we may have issues getting it apart. I will let you all know.

[luvlee]

My new pic makes me want a pink pole for real. Lol!!!!

[luvlee]

I know alcohol is great for slicker poles like ss and chrome. I wonder if it would chip the powder coated though?? I know acitome polish remover us an all time fab for slick poles but on powder coated it removes the coating!!!

[luvlee]

Thank you so much! I am nervous since it has never been down.

[luvlee]

This is what I am curious about. When you take it down an apart to clean whT do you clean it with? And does it need oiled??

[luvlee]

Yes. Poles are multi piece and should be tKen down once a month and cleaned. I just dint know specifics on it.

[luvlee]

I use alcohol on mine too for every day use. I like it better than windex.

[luvlee]

I have heard of people taking them down to clean and assumed I would need to take it apart. I just have never done this and not sure what to do. I have heard people take them down and oil them too like every month but mine has never been down.

[luvlee]

I am not sure what they use in competitions. It may differ from each one.

[luvlee]

I like the idea of having both though.

[luvlee]

I find knee holds and shoulder mounts more painful on a 45mm too. And they are right about if you can do it on a 50mm you can on any pole.

[luvlee]

I have an old one and once warmed up it is great! I wonder if it is different now!

[luvlee]

Everyone is different. It is so hard to tell. For me, my fingers have it so bad I can not grip the 45. It is to painful to have to close my hands all the way sometimes.
