We moreover used:

Cleaning, feeding and colouring As a result of boring shade and the varied damages the shoe had, we first decided to supply the shoe an intensive cleaning with Saphir Renomat. After eliminating the outdated wax and cream layers we focussed on eradicating the black stains with Saphir Winter Hiver. Now that the shoe is totally stripped we started with painting the shoe, which we did with Saphir Teinture Française Shoe Dye. After the cleaning and painting, we used Saphir Médaille d’Or Renovateur to revive the leather-based. We accomplished recolouring the toe caps with 05 darkish brown Saphir Médaille d’Or Pommadier cream and for the rest of the shoe we used 02 neutral Pommadier shoe cream.

Mirror Shine As with the alternative pairs, we accomplished this pair with an excellent mirror shine too. As a result of nostril and the heel of the shoe being a darker tint than the rest of the shoe, we used two completely different types of shoe cream. For the nostril and heel we use shade 05 and for the rest of the shoe we used 03. And finally, we accomplished the footwear with Saphir Médaille d’Or Mirror Gloss (5x) and Saphir Médaille d’Or Pate de Luxe (1x). We provides you a short summary of the strategy:

1. We first utilized a layer of Pate de Luxe to your whole shoe. Afterward, you give them a quick shine using a brush.
2. Shifting on to the Mirror Gloss. The first two functions we use a very good amount of shoe wax. That’s to fill out the development of the leather-based. The wax hardens and creates a simple ground which you make shiny by buffing it with a cloth. It is also fully constructive to utilize a brush to shortly shine these two first layers of Mirror Gloss. Merely make certain to be thorough.
3. Layers 3-5 we proceed to make use of and shine Saphir Mirror Gloss, nonetheless now we solely use cloths for the shining. Apply small portions of wax any longer, let the wax dry for a minute after which shine the wax using your materials. Use spherical motions and guarantee to not put an extreme quantity of pressure whereas shining. This might set off you to rub the wax off the leather-based which you merely utilized. The load of your fingers is sufficient pressure quite a lot of the cases.
4. End your mirror shine with a layer of Pate de Luxe. Pate de Luxe incorporates further solvent and oil than Mirror Gloss. That is the explanation it is categorized as a easy wax compared with Mirror Gloss. The solvents and oil will smoothen out the laborious mirror gloss making it an rather more shiny ground than sooner than. Moreover usually the Mirror Gloss will “fog up”, you might want to use Pate de Luxe to therapy this as successfully.

*Nearly in all cases we choose to solely mirror shine the nostril and heel part of the footwear since these are the inflexible parts of the footwear. Wax dries up as a troublesome layer and might crack when flexed all through strolling.
