This might be a stupid question, but wouldn't it depend on how the end of the tooth brush is done? (rubber/plastic/pointy/rounded/etc.)
Could you do a pic of you and your toothbrush and how it's done properly?
- the cleaning of the Supes that is

The end of my one is pretty much rounded.
Hold as described and literally scrub away like you're keying DICKHEAD's (Dassler's) car.

Bloody picky!
I wasted literally minutes of my lunch hour making this pic.
Barry is thrusting the end up into yo grills, emphasising the end you use for the Cillit Pure cleaning method!

A toothbrush with a rubber tongue scraper on the back of the head works very well at removing tought marks on the rubber soles of supes too.

And for general household cleaning.

These are going to be a pain to keep clean, but 4 coats of protector and mine are ready to go.
I usually keep my nubucks dry and clean them with a wire suede brush, anyone care to share any other tips.

Where did you get that Autoglym fabric protector?
I've been looking for that for my car for ages!
went for Scotchgard one instead.
Nice kicks BTW.

I got a Lifeshine kit off my mate who works in a body shop, he knows I've got a slight OCD to car cleaning.
Never used most of the stuff as there's far better products out there, but the protector has worked well on my P Playgrounds so I thought I'd give it a go on these too.
Last time I looked the kits were going for around £15 on the bay.

Has anybody else got any really dirty Superstars they need to clean cos I want someone else to try this method and tell me it fucking rocks !
Use the wrong end of the toothbrush like you're scratching DICKHEAD's gas guzzler with a screwdriver, then turn it on it's side to do the bottom edge.
Push quite hard and for some reason, it gets the soles well clean.
Dirty like these!!!
They are my Garden '02s that middle bit took a minute to scrub, I think these might be to far gone but I've cleaned up the DMC's I just got and I'm going to have a crack at my Tokyo's.
For normal dirt a winner for sure, for saving a wreck not so sure. Cheers P
