Just a note on the Kiwi polish - avoid using the parade gloss - although this provides a quicker shine it tends to melt in the warmer weather.
One other tip - use Kiwi dark brown about two or three layers before the final coat - you will find that this give a deeper shine. As mentioned above though - this all takes time but the results are worth it in the end. If you don't start seeing a shine after about 10 to 15 minutes you are doing somethig wrong. Once you've finished you have to take care of all the good work - one scratch can mean you have to start again if you can't buff it out.
There are methods to cheat - but these are spotted a mile off - namely high gloss paint, Klear floor polish or an old polish we called MEP7 in the Navy. Once you use any of these you've wrecked the shoe - so try and avoid them at all costs.
