  • Here's a very simple guide on how to get that mirror shine on your shoes.
    I purchased my wax from eBay but unfortunately the vendor is no longer available. They are widely available across most shoestores in Kuala Lumpur, particularly in Mutiara Damansara and Plal shoes. To get a better deal, I would suggest looking for them online.The horse hair brush is available at 90% of the cobblers I've visited in Kuala Lumpur.

    I apply the cream with my finger, the cloth absorbs a little bit off it and i prefer that bit on the shoe

      JorRob001 Try and find clear shoe polish. Works like a charm.

      JorRob001 polish the same way you do metal. Use an electric spiny thing like a dremel with a polishing head. Equal to hours of rubbing it shines up fast.

      Pledge Floor Care... The one that says 2x more shine. Boot stills needs to be shiny first, it just makes the shine even deeper and better. Have to buy it from the states

    Ivas bien hasta que la regaste y pusiste crema en la orilla de la suela ,no , eso no se hace ya que al caminar el tacón puede rayar el otro zapato , así que se pone tinta del color del zapato , con una esponga .

    Plz change the title of this video buddy ....if shoes need to be put aside for 10 minutes then how any shoes can get mirror shine in 5 minutes?????????

    • @anaghaunnamed2356
      @anaghaunnamed2356 7 років тому +4

      I can shine with saphir very well. U don't need renevatuer. Just put a couple drops of water on your cloth than take a bit of high gloss polish and keep rubbing until it is shiny or there in no more water. Keep repeating the process until you are satisfied.

    • @Langor
      @Langor 7 років тому +3

      depends on how the shoe is, if its filthy and has been neglected for a while
      saddle soap to clean everything and revitalize the cracks
      renovateur to condition the leather and even restore the color if you have scuffs
      and THEN you wax to protect the work you've done + add shine.
      In the end leather is skin... so for long wear without less wear and tear doing these steps once in a while helps a lot (especially if the shoes are worn on the daily)

    I tried to use a little water on my Loakes when applying polish. All it did was prevent a smooth application and the cloth just stuck to the shoe. How can I prevent that?

    • @MagicsRevealed4You
      @MagicsRevealed4You 6 років тому +1

      Good quality leather to begin with (all leather crease and bend regardless/you can see there are creases), a shoe tree (use wood if the brand has an inhouse shoe tree get that as the last is similar to the shoes) this absorbs moisuteres and sets it back into shape as much as possible 'pressing' out as much of the crease as possible, a consistent shpe care routine are the basic to maintaining and preventing creasing

      Waldemar Andrzej Wisniowski The polish cracks if you do the mirror shine all over the shoe. My advice is toe cap and heel box

    • @nsatoday
      @nsatoday 5 років тому

      There are ways to minimize this. Thin layers buffed without water. Only buff very the last coat with water and avoid the crease. Walk in the shoes and brush any small flakes that might have appeared and then apply and dry cloth buff. Done

      It's called a "shoe tree". They make your shoes last longer by absorbing moisture and keeping the shape.

    • @anaghaunnamed2356
      @anaghaunnamed2356 7 років тому

      if u have a lot of layers of saphir, it is shinier but it is harder to remove scuffs.

    • @usernameineed.4145
      @usernameineed.4145 5 років тому

      Maybe your polish and water ratio is imbalanced. You can't use too much water or polish. Another reason is you might have used too little polish or the cloth you used is not tightly weaved.
