LOCKED - Restoration/Cleaning FAQ Vol. 9 (READ PG.1 FIRST!)

looking to do some touch ups on my Xs.How do I get rid of the yellow parts by the midsole. Just apply acetone and repaint with angelus? Do I do the same to get rid of those scuffs on the toe? And would you recommend just using white paint or should I also buy some yellow to mix the two. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9X0d5.jpg?1[/IMG]

I'm sure this is somewhere within the 280 pages of questions and answers... But, Is there anyway to restore suede back to DS, or will it just remain frayed??

@Mr.JDM- Thank you!

what do you guys use to remove scuffs off patent leather. preferably on the columbias?

Thank you sir.. i'll give that a try.
