Billiard Champion in Colorado Springs From: Amy Long - Director of Marketing & Business Development
I first came across this remarkable product being demonstrated at the BCA Trade Expo in Las Vegas this year. I asked David Hodges to send me a can to try. This is the best table cleaner I have ever seen. I took it to the bar that we play leagues out of locally and cleaned the table. Just like the name says, it was quick, less than a minute and the table was clean. That night we played for at least four hours on the table, after we were done we all checked our hands. No one had blue chalk residue on their hands!!! It was truly remarkable. It is now two weeks later and I have played on that table four or five times in the last two weeks and I still don’t come home with chalk residue! If you own one table for personal use, or enough to fill a tavern, or pool hall this product should be used by you regularly. It will prolong the life of your table cloth by eliminating the chalk. Your table is clean and dry in a minute. One can will clean 15 9-foot tables. With Quick-Clean the life of your cloth will be extended by 4050%.
Give it a try - you won’t be disappointed Contact your local Billiard Supplier or call “The Break” at 406-285-3099. Put a can in your stocking this Holiday Season
