The other night while preparing for a night out on the town I noticed my black leather lace-up shoes were a bit "dull".

A quick application of marine tuf-cloth followed by brisk buffing with a old t shirt revealed a nice looking pair of shoes.

Go figure....

Mark are you reading this?


 
Thats a good one! And I will bet your shoes wont rust either Anthony!

I use mine on my wonderful solid silver belt buckle from Fleming's in Nashville. Keep it from tarnishing for a long time and easily removes the bit of tarnish that eventually does form.

I use it to buff some wood stuffs here at home, and it brings back the luster and shows the grain details all the more. I love this product.

I mentioned this a few weeks back but it bears repeating. I found that Tuf-Cloth does a good job of removing pine sap from my hands (the mineral spirits at work).

I use Tuf-Cloth to zip off the sticky residue after you peel price tags off of merchandise (after you have bought it, that is

). Marine Tuf-Cloth works well to coat the freshly ground edges of lawnmower blades to prevent rust from forming on there while the blades are being stored.

I fold mine up and use it as a pocket square when I wear a suit coat.

Cool idea! You don't even WANNA know what I use mine for! OK, so maybe I haven't done anything weird with it yet. Should I be rinsing off the gloves I use with it? (They aren't doctors' gloves, but thick blue bathroom type latex gloves).

Use it to patch that hole in your jeans. That way your treating your knife for rust everytime you wipe it off on your pant leg

Fix it right the first time, use Baling Wire !
 
Anthony,

...and here I thought the days of shoe-shining tricks were dead. After all, Corframs kinda killed the spirit for those that labored so hard to get that mirror deep spit shined gloss on their inspection shoes.

But after I finished laughing I recalled some of those tricks... molten wax (had to be damn careful you didn't burn yourself), Glo-Coat floor wax, and *closest* to your Tuff-Cloth trick was that of our younger troops who used their acne pads for more than their faces <hehehehehehe>!!

Ya gotta love it

DUDE!!! Good grief! I'm no physician, but I'd be willing to bet most women wouldn't like that a whole lot. It wouldn't have to be spermicidal, 'cuz if you tried that, it would never happen. That's pretty dang safe.

Howie; at the risk of giving a serious reply to a tongue in cheek post, you should always remove any petroleum product from latex gloves. Better yet, use a synthetic lubricant K-Y jelly, etc. with any latex product, as the latex product rapidly degrades when exposed to petroleum products.

Using Vaseline, for example, with surgical gloves will cause the gloves to develop holes in a few minutes.

Hoping that you use this information only for good, I remain, Walt Welch MD
 
Baby wipes... by the way I don't have kids if you couldn't guess.
 
Who needs a toothbrush when you've got Tuf-Cloth? And, as an added benefit, your fillings will never rust.

Fruit looks better served at the table if you shine it up with Tuf-Cloth first.

Out of salad dressing? Just rub the greens down with Tuf-Cloth.

Seems to me like I should stay out of this one. Yes, Anthony I have been reading these and should have commented before the thread took its turn towards the “far side”. SHOT Show prep has kept me on the sidelines.

I am glad to see that TUF-CLOTH not only provides great protection but comic relief besides. Our TUF Products are versatile but we have been cautious not to make the 1000 & 1 uses claim as I felt it might diminish the product’s credibility.

I have used TUF-CLOTH on leather and yes on occasion have actually used it to polish my shoes too. It is presently used by several museums, the Shakespearean Theatre in DC and by Disney Cruise Lines to keep armor etc. and stage props looking good. The TUF Products are also distributed in the automotive electrical market for use on electrical contacts and alternator brushes. We also have been told by many paintballers it is great as a barrel treatment, making clean up a cinch when paintballs burst inside the guns. For any of you who fly fish it is a great line treatment enhancing a line’s shootability. Fly tiers like it to keep their fly tying vice jaws from rusting. They can’t use oils because it would get on the fly material ruining it. Heck now you have me going… I’ve heard from bow hunters that wiping their arrow’s shafts increases penetration. I guess I better stop now as I might be heading towards the fringe now too.

Perhaps I will see some of you at the SHOT Show, our booth is 7046, stop by for a visit. Happy 2000 to all.
