:::OFFICIAL SNEAKER CARE/MAINTENANCE POST::: (It's back!)

Is there anyway to remove water stains? My varsity red 6s from 2010 have a small water stain in the front but nothing that i done has really removed it. Put baby oil and cleaned it with ez cleaner but its not really helping. Any suggestions.
 
 
Need help removing a red stain from my kobe 9s. It's like a lipstick stain or something, also soap and water was a no go. 
honestly you're gonna laugh, but I'd take it to a dry cleaner. Fly knit is fabric....and dry cleaners are EXPERTS at removing stubborn stains from fabric. Give it a go. I bet they can get it out better than you can
 
Anyway to get rid of scuff marks on plastic midsoles?

What's the best way to reprint a midsole and get fine sharp lines like these customs I see all over the place. Is there a special painters tape I should use?

I have never heard of anyone being able to get the yellowing out of the Patent Leather. I think its stuck that way to be 100.
 
sauce will deoxidize the PL but it will more than likely eat at the shiny portion of it as well so be careful

here's a closer pic. what type of paint should be used? 
That's extremely heavy oxidation or dirtiness. It's goona be really hard to remove that without just repainting.

This is one method without repainting, don't know how well it'll work for you.



Vid on how to repaint PL:


How would I go about cleaning the 2014 black infrared 6s?
General cleaning is simple. Warm water + detergent / dish soap + tooth brush and just scrub the shoe lightlyish.

If you want to use a pre-made product, I would recommend Lincoln EZ cleaner for suede,nubuck,durabeck,etc. pretty much everything except leather.

Cheapest I found for a bottle is $8.49 here:

Would recommend posting pictures for a better idea. There's water sprays for prevention, but I'm not too sure about a stuck water stain. It usually dries off and disappears.

For the white left scuffed part of the shoe:

 
I got raging bulls that are redyed how can I keep the paint from bleeding on my pants?
It's bleeding still after dried? Might need to let it dry longer. If it's still bleeding after completely dried, which is really weird, then just don't wear them out when they can get wet or when it's wet and it can bleed onto your pants. Just be careful how you wear them.

Is it possible to ice these soles and tint them icy blue? If so how can I do it?
 
Actually a little bleach helps but you have to was the bleach back out with hot water and detergent/soap After drying it of a bit..but be careful just use a little bit of bleach
