Spit Shine

[Digital Native]

Hi all,

I am no stranger to the spit shine, but there is one problem that I’ve never been able to figure out how to overcome. I can create a high-gloss shine using many small layers of polish, but I always have a problem with scuffs. If I shine over top scuffs, I end up with very shiny scuffed shoes. How do you smooth out a scuff so that you can return to a smooth, glossy finish?

Buffing/brushing removes scuffs. Unless it isn't a 'scuff' but a tear in the leather.

If more wax doesn't blend the scuff you may need to strip it, polish the scuff and then start over with the mirror shine.
