Questions & Answers

Is this polish superior to the original black kiwi polish in any way? I'm asking if the shine is better or easier to achieve. ?

It's difficult to come by unless you're near a military base. Yes, it shines brighter than any other paste wax on the market. It's the best once you've accumulated a large number of buffed coats.

ingredients that can catch fire?

Yes, shoe polish is flammable, which is why I always light it for three minutes. When shining my boots, it took 7 seconds to liquefy the polish. If you choose to light the polish, make sure to replace the top cap to extinguish it.

Is it possible to apply this to a handbag?

Yes, you can use it on your handbag, but make sure to buff it well and don't use too much because it will rub off on your clothes.

Is this a genuine Kiwi Parade gloss or a knockoff of the Rothco brand?

This is the first of the series.

Selected User Reviews For KIWI Black Parade Gloss Shoe Polish and Shine | Leather Shoe Care for Dress Shoes and Boots | Carnuba Wax | 2.5 Oz

If you apply this shoe polish, let it dry, and then brush it, it will give you a jet black, sparkly appearance
5/5

You can also use a damp cotton t-shirt to rub a dab of this polish in. You can get a mirror-like effect by wearing a shirt. It scuffs easily, just like any wax polish, but hey, you just shine them up again. I've been spit-on a couple of times. Since 1974, we have been shining our boots. This is by far the best polish I've ever used. Any D. Isn't it true that people judge you based on your footwear? Any senior executive on Main Street will do the same.

Parade gloss is a must-have for military/LEO personnel, as well as anyone in any other profession that requires them to work hard while also looking good
5/5

The way to go is with a parade gloss. Everyone polishes their boots and shoes in their own way. I give them a thorough cleaning, scrub them with my brush, and apply a generous coat of polish. After that, I use a clean cloth to polish it. I then dipped a cotton ball in polish and rubbed it all over the shoe/boot. I polish it in circles once more until it gleams. Repeating this process twice seals in one of the layers, making it simple to re-apply. They can be buffed without a lot of effort.

My husband is a police officer in training, and I've been using this to help shine his boots
5/5

They're starting to look a lot better after a few coats! This stuff is unquestionably superior to the ordinary kind.

You might get a raise at work as a result of your smooth demeanor
5/5

This is the only brand I trust to give my shoes that coveted "I'm getting a promotion" look. The package was well-sealed, and there was no loose oil on top like some others. These types of products can dry out, crack, or have the chemicals inside separate if the temperature is not properly controlled during storage prior to purchase. If you want to give your shoes a new look with a shine, this is the product for you. It goes on cloudy, so wipe it over with a clean part of your rag after application to get the shiny finish you want. 10/10.

I was on the verge of flipping my lid! 🤬
3/5

It's a good polish. What I couldn't do was put the cover back on! Kiwi is apparently making the metal tins thinner and cheaper, and the more frustrated I became, the more the cover bent, and I couldn't cover it. I eventually abandoned it and returned later, and it continued. If you really want to save money, use a plastic container with a screw on the lid!.

This product was great for spit shining our black combat boots
5/5

Since the beginning of my basic training, I've used Kiwi Parade Gloss Black shoe polish. This product was great for spit shining our black combat boots. My cowboy boots are the only thing I use the polish on now. They maintain their sharp appearance, and the polish is simple to apply. For all of my cowboy boots, I'll keep using their other products. My left boot is polished, as you can see in the photos. It's imperative that you complete the task correctly.

If you want to impress your CO, this is the boot polish to use
5/5

The best shine I've ever seen on a pair of black boots! EVER! This is the plolish you'll need if you're in the military or law enforcement. On my Matterhorn 9" boots, it lasts for a long time. It makes them look brand new, despite the fact that they are ten years old! There will be no second chances! God, Family, Country, and Parade Gloss boot polish, to name a few things! Hurrah!.

Son, shine those boots! I'm not one to get into a heated discussion about which shoe polish is the best or works the best
4/5

That's something I'll delegate to the experts. What I'll say is that I used this as a base for my Under Armour Speed Freek 7" boots. I then used this parade gloss to polish them to a high sheen. I use this Kiwi to shine my boots every couple of days, week, or whenever they're needed. So I can't say it's perfect, but it does the job, and it does it well. Nothing says "professional" like a well-polished pair of boots!.
