    I appreciate your video. I used to polish my dad’s boots as part of my chores for my allowance. I lost that knowledge over the last five decades. I was an Army brat. Great refresher course. Thank you. -Rick , Phoenix AZ.

      It's easy to get a mirror shine so for the most part this video just shoes how to get the boots somewhat "shined" the best way is to use 1 part isopropyl alcohol mixed with three parts water and use a soft cotton cloth keep the part of the cloth you use damp not wet and use a very small amount of polish and rub with medium heavy pressure in small circles and repeat over the same area

    Congrats, you now have dirt in your buffing brush. Save yourself hours of work. remove laces, clean boots, apply several coats of polish(try Lincoln stain), take a hand held torch(not a lighter) and melt the wax into the boots, add another coat of polish, torch and buff. All done in less than 30min.

    This is how not to polish your boots unless you want them looking dull and getting yelled at during inspection. You gotta use some serious shimmying with a soft cloth and a crap ton of polish. Use a blow dryer for the heat.

      If you know how to shine your boots, you don’t need a lighter, you dont need a toothbrush. You can do it with wax, cloth and water/spit and get a great shine. We all have out method of shining. Just because yours works for you, doesnt meant ours doesn’t work for us.
