Re: Cleaning/Restoration Thread Help
is there any way that you can remove all those little lint balls that you get on the insides of your kicks???
i have it really chronic on my jordans but i do actually play basketball in them so that could be the problem..

who do you play ball for?
read timbo's guide at the start of the thread.. he says about trying to use a vaccuum cleaner or one massive ass sticker to pull them off.

I use a battery powered lint remover to get them balls off. Looks like a small cheap electric shaver.

Re: Cleaning/Restoration Thread Help
I find that after cleaning / 1st stain proofing giving leathers, plastics and foams a light spray (really light) and rub over with tyre shine (silicon based) makes it easier to remove stains etc and fend off some shit.
It also works much better on your car dash then armour all etc, does not leave that residue or make plastics as dependent on constant re-applications.

canvas is more durable so if you clean them like you would clean mesh, im sure nothing will go wrong
