I'm an air cadet and have been doing it for two years, I've always struggled to bull my shoes, but your method actually worked, now I'm getting compliments from staff and other cadets about my shoes thank you!
I left the army in 99 after 9 years service, whilst watching this clip it took me back to all the lads sittin together in basic all bulling our boots 😂 good times
43 years for me and never bulled a boot since then....Why do I suddenly feel like trying it ? PS I still have my boot brush's issued in Sept 65. As good as new.
My niece joined the sea cadets and I am former army. Showed her this video today and we polished her boots for almost 2 hours. Passing on life skills to the next generation. Thank you
Thanks for all the comments. This video is now used by the police as part of their induction training . Anyone need to know anything else? Can I help with anything else on kit preparation? 😀
10 yrs service and did this from day one. Learnt from my father who served in the Marines (grossly disappointed that I chose the army) It really was easier and cheaper. Now teaching my sons fiancée who has just joined the police.
Great video Steve, I'm 56 now nut this exactly how I was taught to bull boots and shoes as a 14 year old army cadet, no bullshit just as you say ordinary Kiwi polish and elbow grease... Once taught it has stayed with me, there was a lot of rubbish spoke on how to achieve the shine but your method is the best 👍
That's fantastic to hear. I go every year come rain or shine . It seems mean more as a veteran. I always look smart as a carrot. Best wishes buddy. Lest we forgot ❤
Thank you very much for sharing this method. I have been getting ready for my annual inspection in the ATC and been struggling with my shoes but this method helped a ton. Thanks
Absolutely awesome! Thanks for the practical tips. I could have used them well in my three years in the (swiss) army! Hope as many recruits as possible watch your video.
This way works buddy. They WILL crack and flake . You just have to keep redoing them. A damp sylvet cloth is a must. Cotton wool balls are used for final water bulling. See my other video. Good luck dude 😊
That was another slant to getting a good shine on your boots, I will give it a go sometime soon, your son could have done the dishes first for you, please keep safe and well in these crazy times we are all in at the moment, very best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
I seeved from 1957-1959 (National Service) in RAOC & still polish my shoes in this way. Mind you our boots when first issued were pimples all over & we used to set fire to the polish momentarily to get rid of them then we spent hours bulling them. A good trick was to buy a chocolate bar so the your spit had some backbone to it. I was in the army when they were needing them not feeding them. I enjoyed (almost) every day & came out a Corporal.
I use to polish my dads dress and jump boots. I got really good at it! Cloth, rag, lighter, polish, boar hair brush a little water…now I use saphir polish, but use to Kiwi!
Brilliant video, new recruit just joined the police with very little knowledge on polishing / bulling shoes until watching this video. thank you very much
Blimey, 2018. Royal Navy Submarine Service veteran here. Wow, that was flipping awesome. I had never heard of a Selvyt cloth until I watched this video. So that was the army's secret weapon for bullin boots to a high shine then. Thanks for this as I still like to have my boots and shoe's ultra-shiny in civvy street even though I was medically discharged in 1993. Thanks for this.
this is exactly how i do it, they should teach this way because it's so much easier, far less faff and produces the exact same result in half the time.
One little tip I might add with the sylvete, as your dampening it before use, or just before, give it a good scrape on a flat surface with a nail brush under running water. This makes sure there’s no lumps or bits to spoil the polishing and also over time, softens the material so it polishes better and quicker.
Hi I have watched lots of videos on how to bull your shoes. Your video is as easy as it comes to follow and it does work. The only thing I did not do the same was the shoe polish as I use Saphir Medaille Dor and some times I put a few coats of their mirror gloss on but not this time. I have never been in the military but I can't go out with dirty shoes. Thank you for a good video.
Are the products you use any good? I have previously ordered the same products and am anticipating their arrival, but it would be nice to have a (maybe less biased than sponsored ads) opinion
The breath does a little bit of two things: 1 it adds the tiniest bit of moisture for lubrication 2 it contrasts the work you've done. You can become a little accustomed to the shine staring at it all day, but you get used to it and it looks worse the longer you stare at it. Fogging with your breath gives your eyes a break, and when it's gone you have a fresh look at your shine.
If it’s a brand new shoe, would you still use the off brush on the first layer, or wait until the first layer has dried and keep adding up to 10-15 layers and after they have dried, then use the off brush?
This is by far the best video I have seen. Thanks for the tips Steve. On my boots how do you get them up to the standard you like? Just keep going with the water and cloth? I can see the reflection of my ring light…
Or would you after using the water add more polish layers and water again and repeat? Or repeat layers, brush off more layers, brush off before adding the water?
Hi Adele. Thank you. I need to do another one covering people's questions. Just keep adding a couple of light layers of polish and keep bulling. Tap in the polish and bull, tap in the polish and bull. Just keep checking for polish specks on the cloth that can cause the swirl scratches. I am parading at the Cenotaph on Sunday with the Royal British Legion. I've spent all week bulling my shoes. 😎
High end shoes don’t have a bookbinder polish. They’re hard to shine as unsealed. I think the only way to get them to this standard is to add water and lots of patience.
I'd add, wear them for about two weeks beforehand as much as possible and polishing them constantly as normal. This should get them worn in and softened a bit. Then start with the bulling.
My metho involves polish, water and two cotton balls. 1.) smear one ball in polish and rub into the boot in circles like you did 2.) sink other cotton ball in water, squeeze most of it out so it's damp, but not dripping in water, and rub in circles on polished area Dead easy imo. What do you think of this method?
Thank your very much for sharing this method. I have followed several TH-cam videos but none of those work. I guess the kiwi gloss is relatively easier to spread than the safir gloss. It just shines so quickly and smooth out easily. One question to ask, by reading the comments, you recommend adding beewax to the shoes. Is it meaning by melting the beewax with a heat gun on the shoes? Also, around how many layers should be added and how to spread the beewax evenly?
Hi, thank you for your comments. I've done a second video on water bulling (finishing off) your boots. Waxing is primarily used by the infantry as a base preparation layer. But yes, it's melting it on with a heat gun and a sort brush. Paint or shaving style do the trick. One or 2 even coats need to be applied. I would melt kiwi polish in with it to darken it. You need to let it go hard before chipping off the excess, cleaning out the welts and then rubbing them down with scotch brite or brillo to get them smooth. You then start the polish layering and bulling process. You also need to pack out the shoe or boot with news paper or wet sand like the infantry. This will stop the boot creasing or shrinking during the waxing and heating process. There are a couple of very good infantry videos showing this. 😊
Thank your for your input. To improve the shine and adding more layers, shall I polish with the damp rags first to ensure a smooth surface or just directly layering more polishs with my fingers? Thank you
Drill Boots no. But shoes as they are softer will crack the polish where they bend and flex. The toe caps and heels will be fine. Just brush off the residue and repolish. Thanks for the comment 😬
Trying to raise a few quid for combat stress if any of my subscribers can help. Thank you 😊 m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02a9q3Bzqattidp4Y5Dp3cM2fd7tDq3AJv4o573mEgZF35tkMaXZKE36YBvQtrbNNSl&id=1088030612
Not a lot you can do tbh! Other than going full 'guards' on them with bees wax! Just keep brushing off and adding new polish once worn. It's good for the soul 😊
Need to show how we prepare the brogue when there new from QM will all the dimples and holes ? This is more important? If you don’t get that done properly you’ll have issues?
Steve king wud u suggest a sylvet cloth rather than a duster and how many layers of polish do u recommend as Iv watched a few videos and they do about 7 layers and a ball of cotton wool Iv tried this way doesn't work so I'll gladly give Ur way a go thanks
Hi Joe. Sorry to hear you are struggling, I'd love to open a bulling shop and sort everyones shoes out 😬 it's difficult to answer your question without seeing the shoes but my initial thought is that you haven't put enough layers on (4 or 5) and allowed atleat 30 minutes before gently brushing off before bulling with a damp Sylvet. If the cloth is dry or you bull too hard, you can drag off or over heat and wipe off layers. Watch again and start again.
Hi Steve, Stellar video. Just one question. What's best in your opinion to clean your fingers to get polish off? Always seem to have a black tint on my fingers
Well there is that , lol ! However the main reasons are to teach soldiers to have pride in themselves and their appearance. To stand out from the crowd and be as smart as a carrot. Self discipline, patience and it's a great way to bond with the lads , just sitting and chatting. You can get a lot more than sore feet from an old army boot! 😁
Watching these while trying to get my horse riding boots to shine.. and failing 😂 if I ever got them this shiny do you think there would be a risk of black polish transferring to my competition saddle pad (white) or on to my horse? 😅
Its high finish polish at the end of the day. One way to really annoy a soldier is to scuff his parade boots. Pressure or rubbing will scuff them. I'd still bull them if i were you. Look at the Household Cavalry, they fully bull their long riding boots and they are thigh length 😮. Good luck
100%. Who ever is telling you that has no clue. Clean them, brush polish, layer up, allow to dry, brush off, get bulling. Layer brush bull, layer brush bull. When happy with finish water bull with a cold water and cotton wool balls.
If it’s a brand new Shoe, would you still use the off brush on the first layer, or wait until the first layer dries and keep adding up to 10-15 layers and after they have dried, then use the off brush?
No difference if its new mate. A few base layers to start, allow to dry then brush off. Basic bull up then repeat layering. Just keep repeating and building that shine. 😁
Excellent video, thank you! Quick question after bulling with cloth do you go back and repeat the process from layering up with fingers then brushing off?

I’ve been out of the Army 5 years and I’m watching a video spit polishing. I should be shot 🤣
43 years for me and never bulled a boot since then....Why do I suddenly feel like trying it ? PS I still have my boot brush's issued in Sept 65. As good as new.
Me too! Lol
Ha me too.
Guards as well
I have been out of the Marines for 32 years and I am still looking to find ways to get a better shine.
Been out since 2006 but every year watch a refresher 😮
My niece joined the sea cadets and I am former army. Showed her this video today and we polished her boots for almost 2 hours. Passing on life skills to the next generation. Thank you
Love this. Great memories for you both. ❤️
Thanks for all the comments. This video is now used by the police as part of their induction training .
Anyone need to know anything else? Can I help with anything else on kit preparation? 😀
Trouser ironing perhaps?
MTP ironing maybe?
10 yrs service and did this from day one. Learnt from my father who served in the Marines (grossly disappointed that I chose the army) It really was easier and cheaper. Now teaching my sons fiancée who has just joined the police.
U.S. Army here, sorry it's that way there Sir,here th' Army was far more stringent on boots than our Marines. Now,it doesn't matter

I'm in the ACF and am looking to improve my polishing skills. So thank you for making this video
This year will be my first remembrance Day wearing FAD's this video has been a lifesaver! Cheers for helping me get squared away!

Thank you very much for sharing this method. I have been getting ready for my annual inspection in the ATC and been struggling with my shoes but this method helped a ton. Thanks
Is the ATC the old Guards Depot in Pirbight if yes nice place was there in 81 in the Grenadier Guards
Thanks for this, my son was struggling, also joined the ATC its the Air Training Corps for young cadets aged 12 to 21.
I am a new recruit in the ATC thanks for the advice good to see fellow members on this platform
Worked a dream. Ten minutes and I had a beautiful gloss shine. Thanks
I joined the RN in the seventies and have many happy memories of all the lads trying every trick in the book to get our boots bulled
Absolutely awesome!
Thanks for the practical tips. I could have used them well in my three years in the (swiss) army! Hope as many recruits as possible watch your video.
Currently serving and start rehearsing for rememberance tomorrow and this is a life saver, cheers mate. UBIQUE
Good luck buddy. I'll be on Parade at the cenotaph
This way works buddy. They WILL crack and flake . You just have to keep redoing them. A damp sylvet cloth is a must. Cotton wool balls are used for final water bulling. See my other video. Good luck dude 😊
Great video of the proper old skool way. Only difference I do is have 3 fingers in the sylvet and keep the pinky out for the queen 💪
Great video thanks so much, helped me lots as I’m in air cadets and needed to get my shoes up to standard

Helping me out before RAF grad!
Thanks for the advice. My Son has just joined the cadets and we are building up the shine.
I have ordered a cloth as recommended.
Good luck to your son and thanks for watching 👀

Very informative and useful. I’m having to bull them for the police force, had no idea where to start. Thank you
Good luck buddy. 👍
@@steveking8258 Thank you
this is the correct way folks....those babies are gonna shine...

Very welcome 😍

Informative and useful to know. Thank you.
Kiwi shoe polish is no LONGER available in shops.

Ebay ! 😉
Cheers mate, joining the navy in two weeks, trying to get last minute tips
I'm about to start training so this is now in my life hack section of my brain 😅
Fantastic news! Which ever service you join I wish you luck. Please get In touch of you need help with anything 😀
Takes a few hours. However eventually the finish is like shellac.

Great comments 👌
Btw you dont need to polish all around the shoe as its prone to cracking. Just the toecap is fine.
How do you wash your 'Selvyett cloth ' ?
Happy Days. ( Sent a few recruits to the Naafi for bulling rings lol ) Nice 1.
If it’s a brand new shoe, would you still use the off brush on the first layer, or wait until the first layer has dried and keep adding up to 10-15 layers and after they have dried, then use the off brush?
this video was a godsend
I'm in India, My Nana thought me the exact same way...

Thx you bloody legend this works amazing on cadet boots
A legend ! More of a leg end but thanks 😊
Yes this is the way.
Hopefully this will work soon for me cool vid!
Easy mate, light pressure and patients.
Will an old cotton Tshirt work?
High end shoes don’t have a bookbinder polish. They’re hard to shine as unsealed. I think the only way to get them to this standard is to add water and lots of patience.
Nice
I've just watched about five 20 minute videos on this and they had a worse shine than this so thank you
I'd add, wear them for about two weeks beforehand as much as possible and polishing them constantly as normal. This should get them worn in and softened a bit. Then start with the bulling.
my master chief (us navy) complimented my boots after i did this
thats amazing to hear, well done and keep up the good work 😊
Did you ever find that Green Kwack that got nicked in Walton? 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂😂
Hope you are well Stevey… passing on the CAV hints and tips!
My metho involves polish, water and two cotton balls.
1.) smear one ball in polish and rub into the boot in circles like you did
2.) sink other cotton ball in water, squeeze most of it out so it's damp, but not dripping in water, and rub in circles on polished area
Dead easy imo. What do you think of this method?
I have seen it before, it's the same principle but using a polish applicator that is reusable rather than disposable. Lol. Great comment, thanks !
Niceee 💯🔥💪🙌🏅🥇🏆🙏👏💰💰💰😁🙏👏
Can we see finish look

knows what he is talking about
Thank God I was a Green Jacket. Only did it a few times 😃
This is interesting.. so simple, do your boots or shoes ever crack from putting too much polish on it?
Drill Boots no. But shoes as they are softer will crack the polish where they bend and flex. The toe caps and heels will be fine. Just brush off the residue and repolish. Thanks for the comment 😬
thats where youd use beeswax burnt into boot then polish layers on top after sanding it that stops cracking and takes bulling to patent levels lol

I use brown polish every third layer, makes the shine deeper.
Great tip as brown adds depth.
Brown may add depth to the black, but to bring out the gloss, finish with a couple layers of transparent polish before your water bull.
every time I polish the whole shoe like that it ends up flaking all over the place as soon as I walk in them. Any tips?
Not a lot you can do tbh! Other than going full 'guards' on them with bees wax! Just keep brushing off and adding new polish once worn. It's good for the soul 😊
Need to show how we prepare the brogue when there new from QM will all the dimples and holes ? This is more important? If you don’t get that done properly you’ll have issues?
Good day, where did you get that beeswax polish from? Thank you Sir
Done well - thanks.
Steve king wud u suggest a sylvet cloth rather than a duster and how many layers of polish do u recommend as Iv watched a few videos and they do about 7 layers and a ball of cotton wool Iv tried this way doesn't work so I'll gladly give Ur way a go thanks

I tried this and on the first step all my previous progress wiped off immediately, what do you reccomend
Hi Joe. Sorry to hear you are struggling, I'd love to open a bulling shop and sort everyones shoes out 😬 it's difficult to answer your question without seeing the shoes but my initial thought is that you haven't put enough layers on (4 or 5) and allowed atleat 30 minutes before gently brushing off before bulling with a damp Sylvet. If the cloth is dry or you bull too hard, you can drag off or over heat and wipe off layers.
Watch again and start again.
I’ve been in for 3 years and cannot stop them cracking ??
Hi Steve, Stellar video. Just one question. What's best in your opinion to clean your fingers to get polish off? Always seem to have a black tint on my fingers
Soap ! Lol and a nail brush 😬
15 years and a yellow naafi cloth, never came across your type of cloth
A must for a guardsman. Give it a go! You won't be disappointed!
My old SWO would have still found fault with those.
After you bull them with the selvyt do you just keep going or is there any time where you would layer them up again?
Never quite understood the purpose of bulled boots on parade. I guess its in the word 'bull'
Well there is that , lol ! However the main reasons are to teach soldiers to have pride in themselves and their appearance. To stand out from the crowd and be as smart as a carrot. Self discipline, patience and it's a great way to bond with the lads , just sitting and chatting. You can get a lot more than sore feet from an old army boot! 😁

We have always been told not to brush polish your toe caps, is it worth doing before bulling them??
100%. Who ever is telling you that has no clue. Clean them, brush polish, layer up, allow to dry, brush off, get bulling. Layer brush bull, layer brush bull. When happy with finish water bull with a cold water and cotton wool balls.
Did the shoe trees die??????????
17 years in the Guards and this method would certainly not work on parade boots they will crack after about 10 minutes 😂😂😂
If it’s a brand new Shoe, would you still use the off brush on the first layer, or wait until the first layer dries and keep adding up to 10-15 layers and after they have dried, then use the off brush?
No difference if its new mate. A few base layers to start, allow to dry then brush off. Basic bull up then repeat layering. Just keep repeating and building that shine. 😁
Excellent video, thank you! Quick question after bulling with cloth do you go back and repeat the process from layering up with fingers then brushing off?
Yup, layer, brush, bull, repeat! 😄
