Simes Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I have my own pair of Barker McLean shoes and they are a light tan. However, While repairing them I've noticed they have picked up some dirty staining probaby from driving in them. How can I best rejuvenate them do you think? Especially removing the black mark?

x minit uk Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Have you tried rubbing the black area with a piece of crepe, this usually removes most marks like that and then polish as normal with a quality product. ironplanet uk900 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Yeah I tried it just after posting. Had thought it was much deeper ingrained. Once tgat’s Done is there something else I could use to generally clean off the grime then nourish and re-polish? What do you recommend. I have very little shoe care here.

Tricolourblade Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I wash mine in soapy water , scrub lightly with cloth or sponge , rinse and let dry, then use a light/medium tan jar polish and they come up a treat , you’d have to be careful because of the suede. I do it with customers Sweeneys, barkers etc all work well. Simes and algsoul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
