Hi fellow sifus, quite urgent here


I am looking for a product that can remove the old leather polish from my leather shoes, currently I can only find Woly and Waxco products nearby. The first shop recommended some Waxco stain remover claimed to be able to remove the old polish, but I doubt its quality.
Meanwhile, there are many Woly products available. I feel more assured with Woly products but not sure which to pick to remove the old polish.

Can any sifu give me a recommendation? sad.gif


Also I read about using nail polisher containing acetone to remove old polish. Anyone tried? Sounds dangerous to me since it's chemical

I just got a pair of second hand sneaker
It is made up of mostly leather, and the leather has already cracking as the previous owner did not take care of it

Is there any way to repair the cracks of the leather?
Or it is more preferred (easier) to just remove all the cracked leathers?

Gone case. You won't be able to fix those cracks. Not sure if peeling it off is any better either.

I guess I will just give a bet of peeling
I don't enjoy those cracks, wish myself the best tongue.gif

THat is not genuine leather. Thats bonded leather. Genuine leather would not crack like that. I'd throw away those if i were you.

It's okay, I peeled off every inch and started to restore (repair) the 'fur' inside.
Will end up having my own customised sneaker. Used to it tongue.gif

Thanks for confirmation, I was wondering about the leather type. Bonded leather makes much sense. biggrin.gif
