Nothing like looking down on your feet and see a fresh, clean pair of kicks. Here's 3 methods I use to clean my cycling shoes. In the end, the best method is to never let them get dirty.

As a car detailing fan, I'll advice you to get a real leather cleaner and conditioner. Dish soap is highly alkaline and it dries the leather so much to cause cracks. After cleaning with a brush and wipe off with a damp microfiber cloth to remove any excess, you can apply a leather sealant. This works like a car wax for leather, dirt won't even stick to your shoes, even water will beed.

One problem with that Luca. These are not made from leather. I'd stick to car detailing. As a woodworker, I find sandpaper works best to get things flat and smooth. I advise you to try it on your car paint 😂 fool

Hello RideOfJapan!(: I love your cleaning videos and this may not really be related to cleaning shoes, but will wanna know if you have any tips on cleaning tan walls on road tyres?
@ridesofjapan
@ridesofjapan 3 жыл бұрын
The trick is the same as with shoes, clean them often and you don't need to do anything special ;) I just use a soapy water and a brush and go over the tires every time I wash the bike. However, keeping real tan-walled cotton casing is a loosing battle then will get discolored sooner or later. The recent crop of "tan" or "transparent" sidewall type tires (Schwalbe, Conti etc) are a bit easier to keep clean in my experiance compared to something like the Challange open tubular-type tires

I tried it on the white bar tape on my 3T Exploro, and it definitely was a lot less white before I used it. Now I just need to figure out if someone sells them in Europe, or if I need to order from Silcas web site, shipping from the US is such a nightmare these days...
