FAQs
Can I use this on suede?
No, this product is designed for smooth leather only. It will mat the fibers of suede or nubuck and permanently ruin the texture.
How often should I polish my shoes?
For regular daily wearers, polishing every 3 to 5 wears is recommended to maintain both the protection and the appearance.
Will this cover deep scratches?
While it is excellent for minor scuffs and surface-level blemishes, it may not completely cover deep gouges in the leather.
Does this polish expire?
When kept sealed in a cool environment, the wax remains effective for a long time. If it hardens or cracks, it may be time to replace the tin.
Can I use this on light-colored leather?
Yes, but be aware that any wax polish can slightly darken natural leathers. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
Troubleshooting
The polish appears streaky after buffing.
You likely used too much wax. Use a clean, dry cloth to buff the area more vigorously or remove the excess with a mild leather cleaner and reapply a thinner layer.
The shoe does not reach a high shine.
Ensure you are using a horsehair brush or a clean microfiber cloth. The heat generated by the friction of buffing is required to bring out the gloss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the leather is entirely free of dirt and dust using a damp cloth or dedicated leather cleaner. Allow the leather to dry completely before applying the wax.
- Compatibility: Safe for use on most smooth leather goods, including shoes, boots, and leather accessories. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Application: Use a soft applicator brush or lint-free cotton cloth. Work in thin, even layers rather than one heavy application.
- Storage: Keep the tin tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wax from drying out or melting.
- Maintenance: Regular application every few wears helps build a more resilient waterproof layer and makes future cleaning easier.
