OK here is the drill. Get the boot surface smooth ie no pimples. This achieved by rubbing the leather with a heated spoon until smooth surface achieved. Next - shoe polish - must be Kiwi black ( cherry blossom too greasy ). Clean yellow duster ( nice and fluffy ). Cold water in the tin lid - wrap the duster around forefinger - dip lightly in the polish and dab - with middle finger - a blob of water on the boot - start with the toecap. Lightly rub the polish on with small circles. Keep going - don't let the polish become sticky - keep dabbing the water on - don't use spit - too greasy!!The effect will not be quick; but steady application of foregoing will get results.
You did ask!! ps there are no shortcuts.
