Hey!
I've bought some vintage boots which had a weird polish on which waas full of scratched and was flaking off. So I stripped the polish off with white spirit.
After stripping it off I applied Connolly Hide Care to feed the leather and let the pair rest over night.
When I tried to shine//polish the pair with Saphir creme 1925, one shoe went find but the other for some reason doesnt shine at all. When I try to rub them with a cloth, the cloth gets rather completely black as if the polish is coming off again.
The only difference between the process of stripping the polish between the both shoes, the one that polished fine, I stripped off with white spirit yesterday morning. The other on the same day in the late evening. The one I stripped in the morning I left in the room for the day but after stripping the other I put both in the conservatory (as the smell was a bit intense) where its way colder.
Any idea what the problem is? Can it be that the white spirit hasnt dried completely in one shoe or that I have used too much spirit at one?
Thank you!
