If you don't have mineral oil, you can try some petroleum jelly, acetone free nail polish remover, or vegetable oil. Other options that may work to clean some types of patent leather are toothpaste and shaving cream. There are so many types of patent leather that what may work for one type of leather may not work for another. You may need to try a few different options.
Note: Always test a small sport near the heel of the shoe first

I was so relieved to find this post. I sell clothes on ebay and sold some shoes well I got pen on them from my hands when I was cleaning them up (strange to happen then huh lol). Anyway I couldn't get it off for nothing. I about cried I was so upset, but then I found this post and it saved my shoes. I used the non acetone nail polish remover and it worked wonders! I keep wiping with a soapy rag just in case the remover tried changing the color of my shoes! Thank you so much your a total life saver, and I know it's just shoes, but us girls take shoes very seriously! lol Thanks!
I have a pair of patent leather shoes, that of course now have a very noticeable scuff mark on them. (It seems like the first time you wear a pair, the same thing happens)! I've heard that there's something that will "erase" these awful scuffs and bring the patent leather back to new again. Of course, I can't remember what the item or product is called.
Does anyone have any idea what works, or what I could be referring to?

I agree with redhatterb. When I was little I had a pair of white patent leather shoes. My mom always had me treat the scuffs with vaseline then keep them in a plastic bag.
Hi, I have a pair of beautiful black patent leather Mary Jane's, that unfortunately, now have noticeable white scuff marks on then.
I used a Mr. Clean Magic eraser and just removed white scuff marks off black patent leather shoes! They look brand new!
