When you're repainting a new shoe do you acetone all the way down or only the base?

hey guys, apologies if its been asked before, but just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with Scotchguard? I wanted tp try using it on my XX9 GOFs so that they wouldn't get so dirty so quick but if i hear good things, I'll go ahead and do some of my Kobe em's and flyknits and such. Has anyone had problems with it changing the colors of their materials or not being effective?

have you tried heating up the glue with a hair dryer and a toothpick to remove the glue?
I'm looking to restore these Jordan IV cool greys but I'm sure how to restore the torn nubuck. I heard about angelus suede dye. Would that help and which suede dye is the closest color to cool grey (they sell grey, dark grey, and light grey suede dye)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
i wanna say light grey dye is closest i think thats what i used to dye some cool grey 3s, but dont quote me on it. the toebox cant be restored what they do is remove all the nubuck on the panel and redye then repaint it. ive heard them refer to it as the tennis ball method. ive only seen it done on black though. this video should give you a decent idea of whats done.

ive used foot locker water proofer for many many years, but i hear great things about the new Jason Markk Repel product. I have purchased it and applied to one pair, but havent actually tested it yet.

I use Sof Sole waterproofer and works well. Not sure if its the best.
I heard Jason Markk Repel recommends 24 hours to dry. Is that true? When you do test it out let us know? Been thinking about making the switch. Also after it was applied did it alter the material or change color. Thats my biggest fear with using proofers on leather, suede, nubuck, wool.'
Sorry for all the questions fam, but I don't know anyone who has used it.

I didn't know about the 24 hour recommendation, but it makes sense. It definitely left the material damp. I sprayed my flyknit lunars. No discoloration, it is a mildly white liquid tho, don't see it doing any damage to anything honestly

It's pretty hard to get rid of scratches on patent leather which is why nobody answered you. Only way is to smooth the scratches down and repaint then apply high gloss finish.
