X-pert X-Pole
So I am just now getting to set up my pole. However the x joints are a bit oily. It’s almost like um the pile you’d find on mechine coal moving parts almost. It is only on the x joints not the extensions or the pole or plates. Does anyone else have a x pert xpole that has run into this? Is it normal?

Mine was too, it’s factory coating to protect during shipping. It’s protective so a little remaining is no bad thing.
I wiped the excess off with kitchen towels.The outside chrome pole I cleaned with hot water and dish detergent, once I’d set it up (so water couldn’t get inside and avoiding the joints/holes) then I used a microfibre cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol and really cleaned it hard. It took a few weeks to get all the factory coating off. And I still clean every session with rubbing alcohol and make sure pole is warm or it’s slippy.
Enjoy your p

Awesome. So yours is chrome as well? Rubbing Alcohol doesn’t hurt the finish at all?

Rubbing alcohol will be fine. In Australia we use methylated spirits in a spray bottle as well (rubbing alcohol is ethanol here, so I’m assuming that is the same elsewhere).
Another great trick to cleaning poles is through steam. Veena has a tutorial on it using a proper steam cleaner but I’ve used an iron before and it worked great. You just work in sections steaming and then wiping clean with a microfiber cloth. It leaves it really clean and grippy.

Rubbing alcohol here in the states is isopropyl.
