Okay ....sleeves up
Let us start with a brand spanking new pair of
boots.
You thought the boots looked fantastic the first
time that you did them? Not nearly as good as this
time! About the only ready made shine that I would
use at a pinch is the Effax one but you have to be
so careful that you have buffed it once it has
dried and you never apply another coat without
stripping it completely with the metho. The Parade
Gloss method gives me so much satisfaction and is
low maintenance. |

As a final tip if you simply can not get hold of the
Parade Gloss, you can make your own. You can take a
tin of ordinary polish, add a few drops of
Eucalyptus oil, melt in the microwave, mix together
well and allow to cool. Very messy but does work.
Other method is to add the Eucalyptus oil to your
hot water. The secret ingredient of Parade Gloss is
all in the oil.
Happy polishing. |

ps..the boots here are
Kerry's 30yr old Louis Epstein show boots that after
their showing glory were used as work boots!
