PatentHeel Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) I have a pair of knee boots which are synthetic patent leather probably pu which have gone dull in a particular area. What's the best way to bring back the shine? Can I use wax? Edited October 14, 2012 by PatentHeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicia Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 even PU can be polished too. You should get a shoeshine guy to do that for you. Boot me up, Boot me down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafted Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 A color paste wax like Kiwi should do the the job. Apply it liberally to the area and let it cure for 10 to 15 minutes and buff. Don't overbuff though. Shafted, the boots that is!
