The other day I walked into Best Buy to pick up some stuff (nothing fun... electric trimmer) and had my iPad with me. The loss prevention guy was like... I need to sticker your tablet... to which I replied "I'm going in for 2 minutes man and I have a reward zone coupon on my iPad so it'll be out the whole time."
Anyway what does the guy do? He sticks the crappy tag sticker right on my leather cover... even though I had it flipped open and gave him the back to put the sticker on. I bitched him out about it and he rolled his eyes and was just short of calling me an ******. Anyway... went to peel the sticker off 5 min later after my purchase and it left a nice sticky gross splotch right on the leather cover. Walked into a leather shoe store and they told me a little goo gone would get it right out... which it did but it left a blueish hue of a stain on my cover.
Great... my OCD in full force I went to figure out how to solve this.
I saw somebody else posting about shoe polish to clean up their Smart Cover Leather (black) so I went out and picked up some Cream Polish by Kiwi and a Shine Sponge from Target...
Not only did it do the job... my smart cover looks better than it EVER did. It was a bit crappy blah looking to begin with, having bought it open item from a marketplace seller on Amazon. After using the polish, which takes maybe a minute to dry. I gave it a wipe with a told T-shirt and then a buff shine with the Shine Sponge and it looks AWESOME!
