has anyone managed to extend the life of a Pole by spraying it with a vehicle clear lacquer?
My CLX is just starting to wear down a little and a friend suggested spraying with a good lacquer to renew the surface thus pro longing its life, good idea I thought but not sure it would work, so was just wondering has anyone tried it or similar?

Cheers Guys

Over Christmas i Have an Original extreme pole which we got the day they came out.

After much abuse, its time for a refurbishment.

Each clamping section will be built up, renewed painted tape and then the finish restored.

Again a video will be made, but this time. More of "how we do it"

[s.w.c]

Look forward to video, done mine already but always like video people put up.

I use the acrylic lacquer, it prolongs the life of the pole. Tried building up worn sections using araldite, leaving for 24 hours and sanding down, that works too but it's too much hard work!

Tip for pole spinning at top: .....use 1 and a quarter pole circumference of masking tape over worn section as it grips lovely and when it's worn away just replace the strip of masking tape again (quick and simple)

I bought some clear lacquer from halfords today and cleaned my phoenix pole then sprayed my pole.  It was starting to give me black hands so a layer of clear lacquer made it look just like new.  it took about 5 minutes.  I am going to spray it every 6 months from now on.

thanks for the tip.

My dad has cut off the clamps turned the pole sections up the other way and put new clamps on to stop it swiveling

Has worked really well

stop all being tight asses and throw the pole away after 18mths and buy new,


with what you lot claim to earn on here shouldn't be a problem

I still have 2 Mk1 SLX's 25 & 1 x SLX30 as they are IMO much better than the new SLX extreme poles I have. Looking after my Mk1's as they are the best poles, wish they still made them as new ones not half as good as the originals
