Do you buff it, then reapply polish, then buff, then reapply? Or do you apply layer, wait for it to dry, apply another layer, wait for it to dry etc etc?
@@newzealandverycool4358 both is fine honestly but I think that a bit of patients does a lot if you just apply a bunch of layers wait to dry then start polishing them
@@newzealandverycool4358clean, apply, buff, apply, buff, apply, buff. The idea is to build up layers of polish, the only way to do that is to polish in between layers.
I found the best way to bull a fresh pair of these is to cover the shoe in polish with your on brush and leave for five minutes then brush it all off with the off brush except the toe cap. Get a cotton ball and dip it in water, then rub it in polish a little bit then dip it in the water again. Do small circles on the toe cap with the cotton ball for ten minutes dipping the cotton ball in water again every now and then. After that you should have a decent shine on your shoe. Just keep putting on small layers every now and then and you'll soon have mirrors on your shoes.
@@mikewalrus4763 good way to do it, is to use the fire shine, load of polish then turn the shoe upside down use a lighter and it will burn the polish on (go easy with lighter) and then start bulling using water and polishing cloth.
If it takes you guys “6 hours” to achieve a mirror finish, you’re doing it wrong. You should be able to clean, strip, polish, and buff a boot to perfection in less than 30min. If it’s taking you that long you’re applying too much polish per layer, or aren’t using water.
They forget to mention when it continues to smear and how to remedy. Been ‘bulling’ one shoe for hours and it just keeps smearing. The other shoe is ready. Doesn’t make any sense.
Or for the Army lads who know what they're doing. 👉3000 grit sand paper full boot 👉Remove factory finish with 100% acetone or isopropyl alcohol. 👉Bees wax whole boot using hot air gun as you go. 👉Apply 2/3 layers. Leave each layer to dry for 20 mins.👉Next day boots are hardened. 👉black kiwi polish while boot and bull with sylvet. Repeat 5/6 times. 👉Use parade gloss to get thatglass mirror finish. 👉Before use, use nylon stockings to get a complete glass mirror finish. You're welcome 👌🏻
They need to say “and repeat twenty seven thousand times” 😂😂😂

They forgot to mention that it takes about 6 hours to get them looking like the finished product.
Aye and the rest!

@@vikingsmbMate that will ruin the shoes/boots, watch them crack if you try plus it's more harder to remove it later and it ruins the leather
@@TheRealMichaelYT actually wrong, I use that technique regularly on my parade shoes, no issues what so ever :)
Yeah 6 hours per boot!
Then some bastard stands on them and you have start all again for another 8 hours 🤣🤣
Peace will no longer be an option at that point
To clarify the term 'bastard' in this case - throbbing lizard half screw who think's he's hilarious.
Yes. It takes fucking hours. In the end, the finish is perfect and is like shellac
“And here’s one I made earlier...”
They forget to mention to buff the toe caps with ladies tights to get em super shiny....
Don't forget the ignition sealer worked a charm in 1976

Honestly wish they came up in one layer like that 😂

Top tip: get an angle grinder and a polishing wheel and fuck me best shine ever
get some emergency floor polish. make sure the weather report says no rain for tomorrow.
Klear floor polish no longer available in the old format
@@grahamgregory3081 japlac then!
ME7. Never used it myself but saw others use it
If only it was that simple 😂
Do you have to do the whole shoe/boot
No just the front usually
only toe cap, but helps to give the sides a brush and the top of sole
Suppose you would be there for hours of you was doing the whole shoe lol
not at all mate :)
The whole shoe for parade only the toe cape for day to day
Guootaa and polichs
