Does anyone know how long the stray "protector coating" last on the shoes ? I bought really expensive gucci suede shoes and would like to protect them

i think it varies with the shoe and the material. i plan to respray at the first sign of a spot. the suede boots i sprayed a year ago are still protected. follow the instructions exactly ... 2 coats, 24 hours apart before you wear the shoes. the denim Doc Martens are still perfect as well

I applied to my bearpaw boots back in Dec of 2012 and they still are great!. I get water drops on them all the time and cuz of the spray they just dry up without leaving stains

I have owned and used the Kingtuk with my Glock for over 6 months now, and no scratches anywhere so far. It really is the most comfortable CC I own and wear daily. I could be the only one, however. Hope you get other answers you can compare with mine. Good luck.

I would say yes, they are a brushed faux suede, I simply clean with a wet cloth. I haven't had any major spills fortunately. Hope this helps.

spray them with a Water Repellant from a local shoe store or shoe repair once a month. For dust and quick upkeep, use a stiff plastic bristle brush. For larger stains, the nubuck material will hold up to light spot cleaning with a small amount of Woolite.

Yes. I think it should be fine. In fact it makes sense to thoroughly clean the suede before sealing it.

I did have the problem of Leather Dye wiping off and rubbing off onto my clothes from a handbag I dyed. I used Resolene as a top coat and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I only use acrylic dyes for shoes and handbags.

They should last you about three months. I am just now replacing the black and the color is still at 70%. But I would say they are on the minimal side.

I cannot quite picture your situation. The last time I used it (recently) was on a pair of shoes where the sole, about all of the front four inches detached itself from the shoe. I applied all along the edge under the edge of the shoe, pressed it down into position and smoothed out the excess. Let dry several days. Have since used them 8-10 hours a day for many many days with no problem. Hope this helps you. J

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

Ultra suede. (Microfiber) seems to stay pretty clean. Definitely one of those things made in China but not bad deal for the money.

They may make waterproof ones. The ones I got were not. They are designed to keep dirt ect. on your shoes from getting into carpets and other flooring.

is the polish a protector? I was hoping for a few years not months...after all the car is 16 years old and this is the first time i need to do them and they are not that bad, kind of like the beginning. My lens are not yellow in anyway, just dull. Looking forward to "new lens".

They last quite awhile actually. I change mine out weekly, even though I never see more than minor wear on them.

I wear mine every day for hours and have not yet replaced them. They are around a year old.

I agree with Capt. Kevin. I have never had it "ruin" anything so if it were my Coach bag, I would not hesitate to try it, but just to be safe... do as the good Capt. suggests and try an inconspicuous area first. Is the bag a suede type of leather -- open pored? If so, I would *not* try it as any liquid will only absorb further into that type of leather. Get a cleaner specifically for suede leather. But if it is a smooth leather, I would definitely use Meguiars.

I've never had a problem at all with any residue sticking to my foot, but I agree that a little rubbing alcohol would remove it, if it happened. Mine always just peel right off when I want them too and never leave anything behind.

Hi, Judy..."Permanent" is a long time so I can't answer that...but so far, 2 mo.s or so, my shoes are doing well. My guess is that it wouldn't be characteristic of leather to shrink once stretched....and the cost of most shoes far outweighs the cost of the potion. Not much to lose since the stuff left no stains or scars. ms
