Cleaning Plastic (Patent) Shoes

I bought some 'patent' shoes from new look today and I was wondering how I am to clean them or to get rid of scuffs when they happen? I don't know whether I am to use the same tricks that you use with actual leather patent shoes, as from new look, they are most likely plastic! Please reply as soon as you can, if you can.

Thanks!

Surely Petroleum Jelly would ruin the plastic? As both are oil based surely it would end up dulling the shine? I'd try the window cleaner!

I always used vaseline to clean and shine patent leather shoes. Make sure you wipe with soft clean cloth to remove all of the vaseline.

We always use a pencil eraser.

You can also use "Armor All" type wipes - good for plastic. For plain dust/dirt - mild soap will do, too.

Baby wipes, they won't dry and have lots of moisterizure. Then use a lintfree cloth to wipe off excess cleanser. You can get a pack of 50-80count at the checkout in Walmart (travel pack) for around a dollar.

We always used vaseline to remove the dirt and bring up the shine.

My Mother always used Petroleum Jelly. Put a small amount on a cloth and rub on. Then shine with a clean cloth.
