How to Polish Shoes With Kangaroo Shoe Polish

How to Polish Shoes With Kangaroo Shoe Polish thumbnail
Keep your leather shoes looking sharp with regular polishing.

The Kangaroo brand includes an entire family of waxing, polishing and cleaning products. The two types of shoe polish that Kangaroo offers includes paste polish and liquid polish. The application process is similar for both; however, paste waxes and liquid waxes work differently on shoes. Liquid wax provides a quick shine and a revitalization of color, but does not fully treat the leather. Paste wax takes more time to apply, but is more nourishing, keeping the leather moist and healthy. It's also better at sealing the pores of the leather to protect it from moisture. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • Clean soft cotton cloths
  • Kangaroo paste or liquid polish

Instructions

  1. Kangaroo Paste Polish

    • 1

      Remove any shoelaces. Wipe down the shoes with a slightly dampened cotton cloth to remove any dirt. Dry the shoes.

    • 2

      Fold up a dry cloth. Dip one end into the wax and apply wax to the shoe's entire surface. Work in circular motions, re-dipping the cloth into the wax as needed. Create a film of wax on the shoes. Allow the layer of wax to sit on the shoes for 5 to 10 minutes.

    • 3

      Buff the wax using a clean cloth. Use medium to firm pressure. Spend several minutes on each shoe to thoroughly work the wax into the leather.

    • 4

      Wet your cloth slightly and buff the shoes one more time using faster motions and a little more pressure. Continue until you achieve an adequate luster.

    Kangaroo Liquid Shoe Polish

    • 5

      Remove any shoelaces. Wipe down the shoes with a slightly dampened cloth to remove any dirt. Dry the shoes before applying wax.

    • 6

      Apply a thin layer of polish to the shoes. Kangaroo liquid polish dispensers have a spring-loaded, sponge applicator tip. Push the applicator against the surface of the shoe to release polish. Allow the polish to dry. Liquid polish dries quickly.

    • 7

      Buff the shoes using fast motions and firm pressure if the polish alone doesn't achieved the desired shine. You can use a soft cotton cloth or a horsehair shoe shine brush.
