How to get SHINY boots
Average time: 60 mins
How?
Seasoning (just like cooking) : Spread a thick layer of polish over your boots. Allow it to dry for 5 minutes
Polishing: Wrap a soft, clean cloth (e ones used to wash cars would be good) around your index finger and dip it in water so it is wet but not dripping.
Using a small circular motion, start to apply the dried polish to your boots until a shine starts to appear.
Keep repeating these steps to build up a nice even shine for your boots (then you can see the reflection of your teeth on your boots!)
Why(for those like me who need to know)?
Wet cloth: This prevents the polish from sticking to the cloth and thus allowing it to be applied to your boots
Polish: Use minimal amounts of polish to build up the shine. If too much polish is used, the solvent(i.e. what the polish is dissolved in) in the polish will dissolve the previous layers of polish you have built up :'(
Don't
- Do not use heat to melt the polish on your boots. There is no need for that!
- Do not use too much water causing your boots to be water-shined. When the sun comes out and dries up all the water, your boots will look really dull
- Do not use instant shoe polish because it causes your boots to crack after awhile. Learning to polish boots really teaches patience and determination
HAPPY POLISHING! KEEP SHINING ;)
