I did polished them with Alcoholic and Kiwi "Parade"

Chief Bones · February 24th, 2006

I found lighter fluid mixed into shoe paste wax does a wondrous job with application of very cold water and soft cotton cloth. You can get a shine that is as shiny as a mirror.

(or)

You can buy a set of patent leather shoes/boots for inspection purposes and guard mounts.

you mean let lighter fluid soak into the polish?

I bull mine with good ole kiwi black.

NCdt Steliga · February 27th, 2006

Kiwi cloth, Kiwi polish and anywhere between 10 to 45 mins of work (depends on how badly scuffed the boots became during the day/week)

You light the polish ... let it melt ... put out the flame and add lighter fluid ... stir before polish sets ... this will keep the polish very very soft so that it fills every little imperfection in the leather. By using cold water and a cotton cloth, you can get a 'mirror' finish to your boots with the application of a little elbow grease.

mkay, will have to try tht. when you say boots, does that mean yall shine the whole boot? cos with my parade shoes we bull them (tiny circles) and christ on a pair of boots.... take all day!
