That is, there are no wrinkles in the duster. This is vital, you will polish with the pad of your finger. Top Tip: The circular motion is vital. Aim for a motion of about an inch in diameter. Too small, and you will be there all day, too big and you won't really achieve anything.

OK, when you are applying the polish (in a circular motion), you will see polish "swirls". Do not be afraid, this is quite normal and healthy. Start your next layer, when it feels "rough", apply more liquid, when the swirls start to go away, apply your next layer! Gives an acceptable shine. The big advantage is the MOD Brown colour is spot on for Alt-Berg and other issue boots.

Well we hope the tried and tested feature above will help you to decide which is the best boot polish for your cadet footwear. The polish was removed from the original tin and placed in a plain white dish making it impossible to tell which brand was which. Are there any large scratches or holes in the boots? If yes, then the job will take longer: more scratches = more time. Take your duster with the polish on it and apply it to the toe cap of your boot in a circular motion. Do not press hard, you only need to have a slight pressure on the pad of your finger.
