Use regular polish to fill in the pores and do the basic shining. Parade gloss should be used sparingly(maybe for a big inspection or some formal function).

I despise Parade gloss.
Most of the kids at basic used that.
Some of them even offered to do others boots with the gloss, for a cost.
It turns out, our grad parade was a fairly hot day, so... there were a couple of black puddles of gloss here and there after the parade.

Stick to the regular stuff, it actually takes some effort. I hate it when people get lazy, and try to find some other meens to making there boots shine.

From what I have heard Parade gloss eats away at your boots.

I am talking about the manual polish. oh and you doubled posted

don't us the polish, looks good for a little while then it goes away. and it actually ruins the boot DON'T US IT. stick with teh kiwi, don't always try and take the easy way out.

ya i heard that if you use parade gloss alot and go into heat the polish will dry up and crack and make a big mess of your boot.

it will it creats a shell, and when in heat/cold for too long, the shell peals off and is pretty funny (if its not your boots lol. just don't try it
