Trainer Cleaning Kit Recommendations

[minimalist]

Like many on here I have quite a few pairs of trainers and I tend to favour suede. I've tried various cleaning products and am never satisfied with the results. I don't let the trainers get manky and am happy to put in the time but some suede cleaning products seem terrible. The lighter colours I like often end up discoloured so I stop wearing them but as the condition is otherwise excellent and I still like them, I'm hesitant to drop them at the charity shop before having another go.

Can anyone with first hand experience recommend some suede / leather cleaning products. Links to online resources would also be welcome. The PH search has only come up with boot polishing advice or the massive trainers thread.

I've found a few lists online but would appreciate experience based guidance about which to buy or avoid.

Look on the Nikwax site.

For black suede ones, a can of Satin Black car paint works wonders

Will have a look at the Nikwax, thanks.

Not keen on spray painting my trainers though

Pop them in a pillow case and stick them in the washing machine. Been doing this for years with great results.

Bleach the laces assuming they're white.

Brown trainers are the way ahead. [In dad world anyway!]

Then once clean and dry, spray some of this stuff on

I have tried this before with mixed results, not usually positive.
