Thanks, @Lake Effect! Hope mine will look at least somewhat nice... That picture is an inspiration! My magenta (?) hoversack needed cleaning in the first place, and on top of that the USPS delivered a torn package soaked in dirty water. Looks like it was dropped into (and even spent some time in) a puddle of dirty water. Now it's a total mess - surprised it didn't get soaked through to mess up the legacy lining as well... The good thing is OfferUp immediately gave me a full refund plus cost of shipping, so at least I won't feel bag if rehab fails!
Wow , that was a rough trip! Glad you got a refund. Mine was a GW purchase for $20 bucks. There was the tiniest bit of transfer , a few specks, on the white stripes of the lining of the front pocket. Take some before pics!

Hello, Anybody have experience removing what I *think* is either white nail polish or white out from a red bag? I've tried Lexol cleaner, alcohol, heating it and trying to peel it off all to no avail. I'm now thinking about applying acetone with a tiny paint brush and quickly wiping it off but worried I might disturb the dye. I've included a close up of the marks and a full shot of the bag. Any suggestions from someone who has done this before would be greatly appreciated.IMG_6656.JPG

Very nice!
Little more drying and another coat of CPR and she is all done. One mark on her bottom did not come out but thats ok....gives a bit more character to her.
Really happy in how my first red bag come out. It helped that the bag was in really good condition to begin with.View attachment 4585390
Is that a NYC bag? Did you dunk it? I have a burgundy NYC in pretty good shape trying to decide if I should dunk it or not...

I wouldn't use acetone. I've had some white stuff come off in a warm bath.
