Black Kiwi Shoe Polish

I've got a funeral to go to next week, need to touch up my ammo boots and nowhere in town has any.

Well after all the complaining about not enough new threads I might make a couple of gallery ones of my clean engine bay. Rivetting viewing that will be I'm sure....

Funeral is a week today so I'm not going to depend on Ebay! I'm just going to have to plod around half of Norfolk tomorrow to find some; loads of places have Kiwi parade gloss, but that has vegetable turpintine in it, and I don't fancy putting that on beeswaxed boots

And yes, they're Army clippy-clanky ones.

banana skin is good for cleaning boots, you get a fantastic shine

.. for anyone who has seen correctly bulled ammo boots - I think I'm allowed to be paranoid about what I stick on them!

i found this just in case

Alternatives to Using Traditional Shoe Polish

* Take your leather Boots, Shoes or Jackets to a shoe repair shop to have them cleaned and polished for you.
* Rub your smooth leather goods (not suede or NuBuck) with the inside of a banana peel (test this method first on a small spot of the shoe), then buff and shine with a soft cloth or rag.
* Olive oil or walnut oil works for smooth leather as well. Work a small amount into shoe, and polish with a soft cotton cloth. Again, try this method in an inconspicuous spot before using the oil on the entire shoe.

Do you get the feeling those methods arn't aimed for military parade standard boots though?

Nope - none in the local Tesco's (which is a pretty big one as far as tesco's go) or Morrisons. Only Parade Gloss

Got 2 tins of the stuff here


Mind you I used to bull mine in polish and aftershave. Oh and when I needed to cheat Klear floor polish then prayed for no rain.

Blue boots are never good

Always been tempted to give that Morello a try on an old pair just to see what it comes out like..

I'm sure you'll all be relieved to learn that I've found some kiwi polish!
