This type of shoe shining is a little bit out of the box but it will do for those who want a perfect finish and a more than glassy shine for their men’s dress shoes.
– As usual, you need to remove all the dirt and debris from the shoes using a horse hair brush or any damp cloth. To get a very good result after firs shine, you should do stripping which is the act of removing any old polish from the shoes. You need to use cotton ball or damp cloth with rubbing alcohol to get the polish off. This may take time but it is definitely worth it and will give you an amazing result at the end.
– Next is for you to open the polish, face it down and put on a lighter under it. You need the polish surface to catch fire for few seconds and then put it out. Take care so that melted polish doesn’t spill on the floor and ruin your expensive carpet so immediately it catches fire, turn the polish face up. By the time you put out the fire, the polish must have melted, that is how it should be and to be on the safe side, use gloves to prevent burns.
– Use a damp cloth that is wrapped around your fingers to apply the melted polish on the men’s dress shoes. You need to first dip the piece of cloth into water before using it to apply polish. Use circular motion to slowly work the polish all over the shoes smoothly. You are allowed to dip the cloth back into water once it becomes too dry.
– It depends on the kind of result you are looking forward to, it is recommended to keep applying very light layers of polish using dampened cloth till you get your desired shine. Try your best not to use thick layers as it may distort the smoothness of the layer, use multiple light layers. Let each layer of polish to dry before applying the next light layer.
– For those who want to add extra shine to the already polished shoes for men, you can heat the surface of shoes with hair dryer. Hold the dryer evenly all over the shoe to melt the already applied polish for that extra shine. Let the shoes dry for about 20 minutes before applying one last layer. You can then go ahead and give your men dress shoes a buff for a glassy shine.
