Want that shiny glass look on those pair of boots or shoes. Look no further. This will give you the ultimate shine you've been looking for.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • shoe polish
  • water
  • shoe brush (optional)
  • a soft cloth (t-shirt or similar)
  1. Step 1

    Clean shoes with a cloth or shoe brush.

  2. Step 2

    Apply shoe polish to shoes by using a t-shirt or similar material in a circular motion until there is a smooth hazy appearance on the shoes. Use the tips of your index finger and middle finger for best results.

  3. Step 3

    Let dry for 5-10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Apply water to a clean cloth making it damp and not dripping or soaking the cloth. Apply by using a circular motion and using moderate pressure. You will see the shoes getting a finer haze appearance, continue until all of the haze is completely gone. Once the haze is gone your done. Use the tips of your index and middles fingers for best results.

  5. Step 5

    Usually just one coat will not get the glass look. So the more times you repeat this process the more of a glass look you will get. In addition, it will also vary due to different leathers.
