How to Remove Shoe Polish Stains From:
Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen,
Modacrylic
Sponge the area with a dry-cleaning solvent, K2r Spot Lifter or Afta Cleaning Fluid. If you apply K2r Spot Lifter, allow it to dry, then brush (the method of using a stiff-bristled brush to sweep staining material up onto a piece of paper) off powder. If stain persists, mix a paste of powdered detergent, water, and a few drops of ammonia. Place an absorbent pad beneath the area and apply the paste to the stain. When no more stain is being removed, flush the area thoroughly with water and launder as soon as possible.
I spilled black shoe polish on my white adiadas soccer shorts,how do i get it out?
You need to break down the stain....try using Goof Off, Goo Gone or a paint remover, let it sit overnight and then wash.
Reply:throw them in the waher on hot and apply some bleach in with the detergent
and this one works so much faster..get this spray called scotchguard oxy an stain remover ..its the BEST i have ever seen at taking all stains out of clothes and spots on carpets etc..and take the odors out as well..is in a blue spray bottle..this is fantastic!!

Trying to get shoe polish off my bright red dodge! I've washed.....?
it three times and the only way to get the remaining specks off is to pick it off with my nails. I'm afraid I'm going to screw up my paint job! Someone told me to use rubbing alcohol to get it off. What cha think?

Rubbing alcohol may work but it will definitely take off the polish. I would recommend using a dish scrubber. Meaning the type with the spong inside of a cloth mesh. Do not use a brillo or sos pad. or a hard plastic scrubber. Also you might try the new turtle wax ice liquid clay bar and the ive polish. The work well considering the manufacturer. The only other option i can think of besides picking it off is to try a clay bar available at an auto parts place like autozone and following up with a good coat of polish and wax
Reply:You can also try using a cleaner car wax suitable for clear coat finishes. That should help you. good luck.
The next time you feel like using shoe polish on your new car, try waxing it first. This will help it from soaking into the paint.
Reply:Use bug and tar remover...very lightly...then wash off immediately with soap and water.
Reply:I think you should have it detailed, and make whoever put shoe polish on the paint pay for it.
Reply:Try wd-40(a lubricant),it,s been known to remove even graffitti paint off a vehicle without having to repaint it.
Reply:Try some "bug /tar remover" from any auto parts store .Its made for cars so good luck.

Can I polish wrought iron for in-door use with stove polish or black shoe polish? I don't want to paint...
you could use polish but it would not look as nice and it wouldnt protect the iron as well. your best option is to paint it.
Can I polish wrought iron for in-door use with stove polish or black shoe polish? I don't want to paint...
I like the other answers better, but if you do use shoe polish etc, make sure it isn't combustable.
Reply:If you are going to use it in a high temperature location for years to come I would have it taken to a shop that could anodize the surface to the color you would prefer (costly). A cheaper way would to take gun bluing chemicals and treat the surface, you could allow it to a flat or shiny finish.
Reply:Wrought iron should be a flat finish, so I would use a product meant to clean it not polish it. Make sure to rub to a smooth, dry finish as residue can build up.
Reply:every year I repaint the wrought iron in my fireplace set and andirons with a high heat grill and fireplace paint. I apply it with a small soaked rag. The black liquid is very thin like paint thinner yet leaves an excellent finish that wears well and cleans and buffs nicely.

Can i use shoe polish on my leather couch in the warn areas?
Only if it is a clear polish, and you really polish it off well. You could also try "hide food".
Can i use shoe polish on my leather couch in the warn areas?
Shoe polish wouldn't be too bad, but keep in mind that if it doesn't completely dry, then it could rub off onto clothing.
If you do use shoe polish, cover the area with cloth (a sheet would work well) for a couple of days. The cloth will protect clothing, take any excess shoe polish off, and help absorb excess moisture from the polish. Just, keep in mind that, you probably wont want to use that sheet for much after.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what to do if that doesn't work. If it's a brown or black leather, you could try gently rubbing used coffee grounds into the area for their natural dark color, but I've only tried that for cloth (it comes out looking kind-of like a dark tan) - I really don't know if it would work on leather.

Can you use shoe polish on a leather bridle?
I don't know why you'd want to do that. Just clean with saddle soap. If you're looking for a darker look you can oil it with neatsfoot oil, but don't do it too often or it will rot your stitching. You could also have the leather professionally dyed. Shoe polish will just rub off and you'll have a mess on your hands and on your horse!
Can you use shoe polish on a leather bridle?
Noooooooooooooooo. Use saddle soap to clean it and leather oil to soften it.
Reply:makes a big mess
saddle soap it-----if you want to change the color,use a good leather dye--other than that-saddle soap and mink oil
Reply:Yes, and it's called saddle soap...really that's the name!
......and it's colorless...and that's what is needed...no color!
Reply:Not unless you want the color you put on to rub off.
If you polish it will come off on things.
If you want a darker color take it to a shoe repair place and have them dye it for you. You can go darker.
Or clean it saddle soap and then conditioner.
Reply:Not a good idea. Use saddle soap to clean, then mink oil to keep soft. Buy in most supermarkets, tack or feed stores.
Reply:clean it with warm water first and then you can use shoe polish. or otherwise you´ll just have grain-type shoe polish.
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! trust me i have done that before and it turned all chunky i would use a saddle soap or a lether polish. make sure you get a color close to the leather color (if it has color variations) you can go to any petssmart (state line tack is in petssmarts) or a tractor supply company.
