[i] ... One important thing to remember is not to use it on the edges of the soles. It will be very sticky and appear to not have dried. But this part of the shoe is rubber and you should use Kiwi Edge Dressing.

The worst thing that you can do with any polishing process is get in a hurry and begin the next step before the previous step is complete. To use Leather Luster properly takes 3 to 4 days. But it's well worth it.

Tony, I agree...you must take your time, be patient while letting LL dry. I DO use LL on the rubber edge of the soles, and have not had a problem.

My drying technique (don't know if this is endoresed by the LL folks, but it works for me): My clothes dryer came with a rack that sets in place inside the drum. I simply put the wet shoes on the rack, fire up the dryer, and presto!, dry, SHINY shoes.

I dry them this way between each of about 4 or 5 thin coats of LL. The shoes look great, and scuff marks are cleaned up with a spray of Pledge and a quick wipe of a rag...
