Cleaning tap shoes?

ok, this is what i have been doing so far to clean the plates of my tap shoes:





1. i wipe the plates off with vinegar, water, or clorox wipes.





2. i sand the plates doown to get all the jagged edges off





3. i apply a coat of clear nail polish to fill in all the gaps and scuffs and scratches








i dance in my garage, i don't have access to a real studio, so yeah, that's why my shoes are always scratched up so badly.





is this a good way to take care of them??
