AK Ref:

I also use the Kiwi "Honor Guard." I get it from my brother who lives on a local air force base. Have you had any problems with using it? How often do you re-apply, etc.? I usually use a high gloss paste first, then on occasion, re-apply the Honor Guard. I haven't yet mastered the "patent leather" look yet however.

Kiwi

I use Kiwi paste was first. Pre-season ritual to get ready for the season. Before you use the paste, use rubbing alcohol to remove anything on the leather. Do this if it is a brand new pair of shoes or older ones you want to strip. Rub in the paste to a "spit shine". Then before each game I use the Kiwi Elite Liquid polish to touch them up. Not a leather luster like shine but a nice spit shine look.

Polish is good, but it doesn't give the high glow that wax does. Try some shoe wax, I think it works better then polish.

NEVER EVER use a liquid polish on leather shoes. It will cut the life of your shoes in half! I was in the shoe buseness for 22 years so this I know. The best is to use a cream not a past like kewi, then go to your shoe repare shop and buy a can of what they call "spray shine", use this after your shine your shoes with the cream. You'll be very happy with the results.
