not burn your shoes, put windex or any of that gloss of extra spray or shiny crap on it. It give the shoe a good shine for alittle while, but it wears down the boot and and ruins it.
first get a rough rag, polish i use kiwi, and some water if u don't know how to spit. this is not a spit shine!!this is how u get that mirror look in your shoes. most people like the toe mirror shine, the shine thats at the top of the boot and the rest of the boot is just polished.
The method I am going to be describing will use the following implements:
You
Your finger
Kiwi Shoe Polish (Black) - must be Kiwi (its the best). If you want to use Kiwi Parade Gloss, then be warned that it contains paraffin which will have a detrimental effect on the quality of shine you achieve. I would suggest you use the good old, standard black Kiwi polish.
A duster or soft rag
The shoe or boot you wish to polish
Some water in a bowl if you are a wussy (more on that later)
make sure there is no durt,dust or anything in that nature on the boot. to get the mirror effect, we are talking about LAYERS of polish and LONG periods of time polishing.When you start you need to apply think layers, once you have enough layers the surface will be shining and very polished, but your not done yet. you must rub the polish in little TINY circles on the boot. you will get circle marks on there for the first couple of coats but thats normal. it will feel rough,do not press hard on the boot.use the water at this time to get it soft, if you use spit don't directly put it on the boot for it will ruin it. the more scuffs and scratches the more layers of polish u will have to use.A good indication of when enough is enough is when the surface of the toe cap is smooth: there are no scratches, potholes or anything else to be seen apart from a smooth surface. YOU WONDER HOW LONG IT TAKES? the answer is: it all depends on the shape of the boots.
to get form the smooth look to the mirror look or glass look, reduce the amount of polish you use on each layer. as you move on keep reducing the amount of polish, this will start up that mirror look.keep going with this process until you are down to a stop of polish.
once done you should literally see your own reflection in your toe, or where ever you wanted the mirror look to me. ANY QUESTIONS??
