How is the best way to get a mirror gloss on leather shoes/boots???
Using the Lincoln USMC wax you will want to heat a lit bit of it up by holding a lit lighter over the top of the wax in the can. Use this melted wax (while it is still liquid) for a base coat on the shoes. By melting it, the wax will fill in even the smallest imperfections in the leather. The smoother the surface, the more light it reflects. This is what gives it the mirror look. Rub it in hard and make sure you get an even coat on the whole shoe. Once you get a good base this way, a standard spit shine will keep them looking good. Salt water can mess up your base coat, if you get a lot of salt on them you may have to strip them and start over.
Reply:apply the shoe polish using a soft cloth, after applying the polish to the rag dip the rag in water before applying the polish to the shoe/boot. It takes time and effort to get a quality shine just keep repeating the process.
Reply:use a cotton cloth and put a bit of spit not much on the cloth and buff away (hench a spit shine) this is what my brother does with his army boots.
