Questions & Answers
Only use mirror shine on the hard countered parts of the shoe (this varies depending on the shoe). This is due to the fact that the soft parts of the shoes bend, causing the hard wax to flake and leave an unsightly white appearance. On these areas, apply a soft cream polish such as Pat de Luxe.
I only use Saphir mirror gloss on the toe caps because it's so expensive. The tint, in my opinion, does not make a significant difference. I use the clear on all of my shoes, regardless of color. A low-cost tinted wax or cream for the remainder of the shoe.
It depends on the bag's construction... if it's stiff, yes! Pat De Lux would be preferable if it was softer. Only use cream polish if it's very soft. On my shoes, I use the entire range. I use cream polish with a small amount of Pat De Lux on the flexible side and vamps, Pat De Lux Gloss on the stiffer areas, and mirror gloss on the toe caps and heel counters.
If you can't twist it, gently grasp it and twist it! Buy a jar instead of a tin.
Selected User Reviews For Saphir Medaille d’Or Mirror Gloss - Natural Wax Polish for Leather Shoes & Boots
Growing up, I was a shoe shine boy in a small town, and I've always admired boots and shoes with a deep gloss and superior shine. I'm pretty sure I've spent more money on boot and shoe care products than 99. 9% of the general public at large scale scale scale scale scale Some may consider this ridiculous, and they may be correct. br>Excellent boot and shoe polishing necessitates a lot of effort and time. That is why I value it so highly, and it is a very rare occurrence in daily life in these last decades of my life. This Saphir mirror gloss is pricey, but it is well worth it if you're looking for the holy grail of glazing. Using this product in conjunction with Saphir Pate de Luxe's legendary shoe polishes provides the user with an unrivaled level of satisfaction, in my opinion. Your boots or shoes will speak for themselves once they've been finished. That's a lot coming from an elderly gentleman who has been polishing boots and shoes since he was a child. This product is made up of hard waxes and should not be used on the flexing areas of your shoes. Because it is a hard wax, it will crack in flexing areas of the boots or shoes. If one is willing to invest the time and effort in proper polishing methods, toe caps and heels can be made to appear as if they have been glass coated. If you're looking for the best in boot and shoe care, you won't be disappointed with this product. The ease of application and gloss depth are as close to perfection as these aged hands and eyes have ever seen.
Yeah. This is the most powerful and enthusiastic endorsement I've ever given. You should give it a go. I'm willing to bet you lunch that you'll think the same thing. Wishing you a pleasant day.
This polish is fantastic! The Neutral Saphir Mirror Gloss is an excellent choice. It has a wonderful scent and applies easily. Its performance, on the other hand, blew me away. I'm a retired Army drill sergeant (and current public safety official), so I've had plenty of experience with polished leather footwear. After stripping my Johnston and Murphy monk straps with alcohol and acetone, I took a chance and ordered the gray Saphir Pommadier cream polish for my Johnston and Murphy monk straps. The dusty gray color was brought back to life with the cream polish. After that, I applied the Mirror Gloss, and after only four coats and a few drops of water, I was able to see my reflection in the shine on the cap toes and heels. There will be no two-hour marathon polishing session involving water, rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, or thick wax buildup. Using an old, clean t-shirt and 20 minutes, you can go from a stripped shoe to foot jewelry. I don't want to take the chance of paying the extra money to have this stuff delivered to my door without seeing it first. That said, the investment paid off handsomely, and I'm eager to recommend these Saphir products to anyone looking for a stunning professional shine in a short amount of time while using a world-class product.
Finally, I've discovered the most effective solution. It's incredibly simple to use and quick, as evidenced by the photos below, which show how well it polished the toecaps of my Johnston and Murphy shoes to a mirror shine. From now on, I'm going to use only this product. I can't say enough good things about it.
I've tried a lot of polishes, and this is by far the best. There is no cracking and the shine lasts. One officer inquired if I had spilled water on my boots, while another inquired if I had cooking oil spilled on me; both officers stated that the shine on my boots was the reason for their inquiries. This is an excellent item.
This Mirror Gloss has a brilliant sheen that is unrivaled. Three or four thin layers of this (allowing time for drying and buffing with a chamois) do the trick on a fully stripped pair of quality shoes. On top of the Mirror Gloss, I always use Saphir's Pate de Luxe as a finishing touch to really melt and glass over the lower layers of hard wax left by the Mirror Gloss. Take a look at the results for yourself in the video below!.
It does, however, leave a wet-looking residue. Unlike any other wax, this one looks like a mirror glaze. Nothing else produces this level of shine, so if you value it as much as I do, this is the product for you. The price is high, but keep in mind that it lasts three to four times longer than other waxes. Because terpentine is used to blend the waxes, there's a slight terpentine odor. There are a few drawbacks to be aware of. To begin with, if the can is dropped, the wax will crack, making it messy and difficult to use. Due to the hardness of the wax, it will leave a slight frosted (white residue) appearance on bendable leather areas after use. You should apply a saddle leather cream, gel, or oil to your saddle. in these areas as a starting point The majority of people purchase it with the expectation of a clear coat that will add depth to the finish. That is correct for one shoe but not for the other, as I discovered. It is determined by a variety of factors, including the following: If you have black shoes, buy the black version of this product; if you have dark shoes, skip this product or use it only on the toe and heel caps. It's a great choice if your skin tone is light. br>br>PS: Water is effectively repelled by the wax. The shoes appeared hydrophobic, according to a friend, because they didn't allow water to stay inside. Water repellent products for windshields, for example.
I had a pair of aligator shoes that had lost their glazing and I used this product to restore them. I tried using regular cremes, but I was never able to restore the shine to its previous state. This was suggested on a message board as a way to restore the shine, so I tried it. The photo shows a comparison of the shine when using regular creme versus the Saphir product, which is incredible! I was able to keep a pair of shoes worth $760 that I had purchased.
