Step 1 - shoe tree to retain shape as its cleaned Step 2 - light scoring of the sole edge and heel prior to "inking" Step 3 - soft brush to clean shoe of ingrained dirt Step 4 - cleanser is applied Step 5 - cream leather conditioner (wait 5-10min after application to absorb) Step 6 - hard brushing to take off any excess conditioner Step 7 - hand rubbing to start the polishing process Step 8 - shoe polish & polishing water - small amounts of water added to shoe polish help create a mirror finish Step 9 - light brush buffing applied w/water to create even more shine Step 10 - more polishing water applied to make sure all polish has been absorbed Step 11 - waxing the sole in an appropriate matching color
This was an amazing video! Please give us some English subtitles! I really would like to know what kind of cloth you are using. What's the difference between the white and the red.
I will still be second as long as Yuya from Brift H will be here... It takes me a minimum of 7 minutes / shoes for a high mirror gloss, so let's see for the future my friend... You know who I am I guess ;)
Okay I have a question. I checked this Brift H webshop, and is it something wrong only at me, and I am the only one who thinks that the products are hell overpriced? I mean, therea are many already approved brands like Sapphire, and for this brand, for a shoe tree ¥ 10260 which is more than 1300 eur, or the prices are in japanese jen?
+clusty 1 I know that))), but I repeat, this shoe brush is very, very soft and don't spoil the texture of the "glacage". That shoe brush can to buy only on Brift H online shop.
+clusty 1 as yes, I know that, but pay attention, he tries not to affect the gloss zone, he is working only rear and middle zone of the shoe))) anyway that video one of the favorit)))
Looked to me like it was sandpaper. To rough the sole edges so when he painted it the paint would stick better to the rough surface and also to get rid of the old paint on the sole. I believe it's 150 grit sandpaper I'm honestly just guessing though.
Why am I led to believe that shoe polishers are secret gentleman, or themselves gentleman servants to gentleman gentlemen. I know the English were the first to start this trend of having laborers dressed in suits doing menial work. Why the Asians copy this is beyond me. Whenever I see these videos it makes me die a little inside. I want to see a real polisher teaches us how to polish shoes.
