| HINTS: When you get a new pair of boots or shoes strip them first with a little hydrogen peroxide or alcohol. It will get the protective layer off and make it easier to put the first coat of polish on. Also before putting on the first coat I recommend wearing them in the shower and letting them dry thoroughly. This will break the boot into your foot, and make them a lot more comfortable. After this has been done you can start to polish them to a high shine. Using Kiwi polish is highly recommended, as well as a cloth diaper or old cotton t-shirt. There are many was to shine a boot you will find the best for you. Just remember a little polish, sufficient amount of water, and time is what is going to give them the best shine. When you are done polishing take an old pair of panty hose and simply buff the boot to a glossy shine. This works as a great quick fix also, I keep a small piece of nylons on me all the time. |
