The ones you are most likely to hear about are: Parade Gloss Prestigeis the latest premium wax shoe polish from Kiwi.

Many people ask me how long it takes to get it to this stage. My standard answer is that it depends on the state of the boot, how long you have been "bulling" for overall and how much time and effort you have put into the process. I said it takes hours and I wasn't kidding. caption id="attachment_6235" align="alignnone" width="300"] Cherry Blossom Regimental Shoe Polish[/caption]

Question? Comment?

The polish was removed from the original tin and placed in a plain white dish making it impossible to tell which brand was which. Gives an acceptable shine. The big advantage is the MOD Brown colour is spot on for Alt-Berg and other issue boots.

A duster or soft rag (you can get them from your local supermarket) (Marines will tell you to use a white cloth diaper that's been washed a few times.) OK, when you are applying the polish (in a circular motion), you will see polish "swirls". Do not be afraid, this is quite normal and healthy. Polishing isn’t a one-size-fits-all operation; the approach varies based on the type of shoe. Dress shoes, often made of high-quality leather, benefit from a meticulous application of wax polish followed by a vigorous buffing for a high-gloss shine. Leather sneakers, a more casual option, could do with a less intense application of cream polish, buffed lightly to maintain a natural matte look. When it comes to leather boots, especially those used for outdoor activities, consider a waterproofing wax to add an extra layer of protection. Ballet flats made of soft leather are best handled with a moisturizing cream polish applied gently to maintain their suppleness. Learning these technique variations can make a world of difference in both the appearance and lifespan of your diverse shoe collection. Troubleshooting Common Problems:
