Never use liquid polish, the stuff is horrable. If you can’t do a proper spit shine, just rubbing the shoe polish on and buffing with the big brush is fine for a quick shine.

A proper shoe shine requires a 2 damp cotton balls and cold water. One cotton ball for application and one cotton ball for buffing. The cotton balls should be wringed out before application and buffing.

The above link contains the “Max” Shoe Shine sponge. Most of you may think this is just a quick fix, but this sponge will shine, restore color, as well as waterproof. Best shine I’ve seen from a sponge.

This is the way my pop taught me to keep my shoes. Thanks for the memories. Also, the old shoe box motivated me to make one. I got tired of keeping polish in a laundry room cabinet. I mirrored the old standard design.

First thing upon getting a new pair of shoes, remove the cheap “quartermaster shine” with some rubbing alcohol or saddle soap. Saddle soap also comes in handy for repairing salt damage

The trick is to spend a bit of time filling in your shoes with wax, then just keeping them up with thirty-seconds a day shining with a soft, almost-dry cloth and the oil you get when you press down on the Kiwi wax. This way you can see your ass-crack through your pants. Also, two fingers and small circles. Do not buff, it just scratches the mirror finish.
