You can ship the shoes to him and he will shine them with his own concoction of fufu dust and magic. They look unbelievable for the entire season. They do not scuff easily, they shine like no tomorrow. Supposedly what he uses is patented, at least that is his claim.

I have not used him for several years and could not find his card. Maybe someone on here knows.
Shoe Shine

"It's the best shine this side of the Mason Dixon Line!" People actually box up and ship their shoes from around the country to Joe's Shoe Shine inside Bishop International Airport. His stand is located just up the land-side escalator to the right. Shoe shine hours vary seasonally and Joe is in on weekdays only.

His hours are:
Monday:
10:00am-4:00pm

Tuesday, Thursday:
10:00am-5:00pm

Wednesday:
10:00am-2:00pm
