Glass Shoes
How do I get my shoes super bright?
I'm in the Navy and need to get my shoes super bright, similar to glass. I normally use a lighter, and seems to do the trick, but I want to know if there is anything else I can do to make them even brighter. The instructions would also be very useful.
Apply mud or polished leather. semi shine brush. Allow creation or harden for half an hour or more. Repeat the process twice. (Three layers of base) cream with fine hand brush apply another layer with the wet cotton ball or clean cloth. Shine should produce high gloss. Then apply a layer of neutral wet cotton or a clean cloth. Finish with a clear coat applied with a damp cotton or cloth. In bright light finish should clearly reflect the colors (red or blue for example).
