How to Polish Shoes With Kangaroo Shoe Polish
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?

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.
