SAPHIRSaphir Amiral Gloss – Leather Shoe Care Polish Wax for High Gloss Mirror Shine for Dress Shoes - Made in France - 50 mL

I am a former US Army NCO whose primary duties were drill and ceremony for five years. I know how to REALLY shine shoes. This polish is the best I’ve ever used. Period.Fast forward about a million years: now I’m a volunteer pilot for the Civil Air Patrol, and wear black boot (nice ones and not so nice ones), as well as dress shoes. I also wear a polo shirt uniform in the cockpit, and have a cheap pair of fake leather Dr. Scholl’s I wear just with that uniform. This polish is amazing; after three treatments to the cheap shoes, I had an outstanding shine. I thought about naming my review “Lipstick for your pig”.Again- best I’ve ever used. Period.

I normaly use Lincoln shoe polish for my Duty Boots but this product delivered, is super smoth and boots have an exstreamly great shine with little brushing great shine.

As described. Mirror like shine on all of my leather shoes. Fully satisfied and will purchase again.

Works as intended. Very high quality. Excellent and easy to use.

A long, long time ago I served in the US Marines. Back before new recruits were issued these suede boots that don't require polish. We did however get the patented leather dress shoes, which I normally didn't wear to inspections. Instead I purchased a pair of leather shoes to polish. I spent a long time polishing boots and shoes during those days and these days, I sometimes spend the time to put a great polish on my leather work shoes.I stumbled upon this product recently when investigating shoe polishes. It sounded like it was a premium polish that would be worth purchasing and trying for myself. I bought a can of the high gloss as well as the cream polish.The first thing I noticed is that the SMELL of the polishes by this company was quite different than what I am accustom to. This made me question what exactly is different in their formulation when compared to the various other polishes I had used over the years. It did not have a chemical or petroleum based smell that Kiwi or Lincoln polishes had.I found that the cream polish is great for a quick once over. Wipe it on, brush it off...done. Sure you can try going for a high shine with the creme polish but it doesn't seem to polish up or shine in the same way as their high gloss does. I would guess that there's not much wax in the creme polish.The high gloss polish, I really like this stuff. I've found that with other brands, you sometimes reach a point where the leather doesn't seem to take anymore polish and the more you try to get it to shine, you just end up with little pills of polish. The high gloss version of this seemed to take and take and take. I kept throwing more polish at the shoes little by little and it goes on quite well.

It leaves a really nice glossy shine with only a few coats. My boots were already shined but they didn’t quít get this nice of a shine. Maybe with a few more layers I’ll get that mirror shine look that i really one.The only down side is that the was runs out quite faster than i expected.

Anyone who knows shoe polish knows that there's nothing you could say about this shoot on each other then it's the best there is
