Date: February 5th, 2012 10:47 PM Author: Multi-colored meetinghouse generalized bond no. just brush the dirt off your shoes with the brush. then load your brush with a bit of polish and apply it to the shoe evenly without really polishing. while that dries, do the same to the other shoe. then really go at them with the brush until they shine. likewise, you can use the shoe cream. that involves wiping the shoes with a damp towel and then rubbing in a cream that you can get online or in the store. then apply a small amount of kiwi wax, if you want. you don't need edge dressing on the soles, it clumps and chips and looks shitty - just use wax.

plus its not acidic enough to eat through thick leather |

Date: February 5th, 2012 10:40 PM Author: Multi-colored meetinghouse generalized bond horse hair shoe brush + kiwi wax. that's all you need. maybe a wet towel if they're really dirty. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1866696&forum_id=2#19906599) |
|
Date: February 5th, 2012 10:43 PM Author: useless legal warrant market shoe cream is better for the leather than wax polish, although wax will give you a better shine.
Many people will polish with shoe cream 2-3 times for every one time with wax polish
edit: also, you need a polish applicator - the brush is just for buffing after the polish dries. I usually use old, worn out sport socks |

Date: February 5th, 2012 10:43 PM Author: Multi-colored meetinghouse generalized bond yeah. cream is ok every once in a while. believe me, you don't need a separate applicator. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1866696&forum_id=2#19906636) |

Date: February 5th, 2012 10:49 PM Author: orange box office background story I use Allen Edmonds conditioner, Alden shoe cream, and Kiwi wax (there is better stuff out there, but it's expensive and arguably unnecessary). You can get polishing cloths, edge dressing and horse-hair brushes from a number of sources. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1866696&forum_id=2#19906673) |

Date: February 5th, 2012 10:51 PM Author: Multi-colored meetinghouse generalized bond don't use edge dressing. completely unnecessary and it chips off and looks really shitty after a while. kiwi wax is perfectly acceptable. polishing clothes and all that other shit is unnecessary as well. brush + wax is all you really need.
