I use the hog brush, dry, just to get dust and dirt of the upper then clean the outsole with the Dawn/toothbrush.(washcloth to dry it) I use the JM liquid stuff on the upper only if It's needed.

Ben, that's what they use to get the oil off the wildlife after an oil spill.

Just seems to work well on kicks and it's a good cause, I figure.(they donate tons of the stuff and money to wildlife groups)

This is what you need. Get that good ol' JM and some Magic Eraser (on the right it's a similar German product).

Everything else you can find on SSDB thumbup ( supersk8 and Mr. Pure are magicians Wink )

These guys have some I think, but i think FP were cheaper when I bought some a while back.
Anyone tried the Angelus stuff? [Image: !CCyW!3wBGk~%24(KGrHqIOKnEEz2T,)jLGBNMW!n8kgQ~~0_35.JPG] cheaper than JM.

@Benji I was looking to try some of that Blue foam AND the JM kit and do a comparison.

So far, Palmolive Free and Clear works wonders for me.

Would LOVE to grab a few more cleaners, and my kit would be 100% complete for ANY shoe I can think of.
We will see how it goes. But for now..

I keep (as much as I can) in my shinebox... Wink Heehhehhehehehehe

I'd like to try some of the Lincoln EZ cleaner as well as the Fiebings Leather products and home made Retr0Brite.
Anyone in here try any of that?
