What do you use to clean your clubs/balls???

Clubs get a wash down after every game. I usually put a tee in the butt end of the grip to stop any water getting in to the shaft, and then wipe down with little washing up liquid and warm water. The heads get cleaned with an old tooth brush, sometimes a small wire brush (golfing one) if they need it. Grips get a wipe down with a clean damp cloth.

Then I wipe down the shafts and back of the club heads with a cloth with WD40 or ACF50 on it.

Golf balls I usually clean on my towel while playing, but if they need cleaning any more I use a wet towel (usually my golf one before I put it in the washing machine).

Bag will get a wipe down and any hinges (from the stand) get WD40 or ACF50 applied where necessary. The trolley gets a wipe down and some 3-in-one with PTFE applied as well.

I've had my Ping Eye 2+ irons for 20 years, and other than re-gripping (which I'm about to do again) they're still going strong. A few dinks and bag clatter to add character here and there.

Word of warning - WD40 and alike likes eating away at glue/adhesive. Don't expect shaft labels to stay on long if you're cleaning regularly. I've had my shaft stickers replaced by Ping free of charge over the years.

Over time I notice the grips slip/rotate as well. This could be due to the age of the adhesive, or over time a little WD40/ACF50 getting in there and loosening things off. They get changed every 3-4 years anyway.
