Last week I bought the Saphir Mirrir Gloss to try it. I think I like the result but I can't tell the difference between the Saphir Mirrir Gloss and the normal Saphir wax. The only thing I did notice, and it may be because I have already some polish built in the toe cap, is that with only two layers I got the result (which is what the product promises, less applications) with the normal wax I have to do 4 or 5 to get the result.
Here are some pics:
Now this is a pic with just only the normal wax

Wow very nice!
Do you brush with the Mirror Gloss, or just buff w a rag?
AE leather lotion (especially if you have the old tubes whitch are rebranded Colonil) is a very good product!! You dont need to switch to renovateur !!AE just doesnt shine so much after brushing!Hey there! There appears to be lots of love for the Saphir MdO Renovateur. What does that product do that AE Leather Lotion doesn't do? (I ask because I have lots of the latter)
I got a scuff on my AE Cornwallis and after one treatment of Saphir Renovator I have this, shall I just keep on working it or should I be using saddle soap or another cleaning product?

you just removed the spray factory finish! this is generally an easy fix for them!Don't use saddle soap. Honestly I am not sure what you should do because I have the exact same shoe, a similar scuff (but on the toe), and used saphir renov + avel leather soap (basically diluted saddle soap, and not even that diluted) to try to fix the scuff. Check out the thumbnail to see how that worked out. I sent AE the same pic and they told me it would need to be refinished at the factory. I believe them.

Caught in the rain. It happens. A lot in my area.
So what is the recommended shoe treatment, if any, to help shoes that have taken on water in a down pour? Does conditioner help?
Yes my friend ! As far as i know it is! (i am not sure but i think i have said that again! deja vu feeling)Is the Collonil 1909 Creme de Luxe range free of turpentine?
