Jarl Ayari Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I cannot get a good shine from polishing them. they almost looks like a satin matt finish. Whats the best way to polish them to get a finished leather shine. They were cleaned off with white spirit as per the Dylon instructions them dyed with two coats each which have given them a wonderful colour and even coat, just having trouble getting a shine back into them. Any suggestions.? Andi Smile and the whole world smiles with you, Fart and your on your own!!!
shoerepairer Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Kiwi Parade gloss. Apply liberally with a cloth, then with a wet cloth wrapped around a finger work polish in small circular motions. although using cotton wool this is about as good as it gets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xevO3aJcFs it takes many sessions to get to the shine on most of these videos but a more daily shine should be achievable using this method. You'll see many youtube videos where they use a heat gun for the first few layers, but I wouldn't go with this route on "normal" shoes! Lee Repair Reuse Recycle. Cobbler it.
