00:00 Expert Shoe Polishing Introduction
With Anders Sundström, the Swedish champion of shoe shining. Anders is taking us through the advanced stages of a shoe shine. This is where we transform that ordinary polish and shine into something really quite exquisite that you really don’t see anywhere else.
01:44 Building Layers
Build layers to create a base for the spit shine. The key here is building thin layers on top of each other because the biggest mistake most people do is grabbing a bunch of goo of the wax and trying to put that on the surface, and it will always result in failure.
Either, you won’t be able to release the shine to get a good shine or what will happen is that the the solvents in the bottom of the wax layer will not evaporate, but the top will, which means that the shrinkage isn’t not homogeneous and it cracks.
09:55 Let the Wax Settle (5-10 mins)
We’re not at finishing stage; we’re still in the build-up phase, but we need to release the spit shine to make a shiny surface.
20:42 Finishing Stage
This is where we’re just getting that explosive, sharp shine release. We applied multiple layers of wax to create that wax layer, covering the grains. We also released it to create a dull shine-let’s say- just to be able to build on it, to finish it.

This principle also can be applied for wood polishing which apples to clogs that is a foot wear constructed from wood. Fun fact: the first ever photograph of the earliest daguerreotype was the man having his shoes shined at the Boulevard du Temple, Paris.

Early Sunday evenings, I will polish my black shoes to a fabulous shine and get my pristine uniform ready: grey skirt, white shirt and tie ready for Monday ! And now 😅 my shoes go to my neighborhood shoemaker to be shined 😅 Excellent video 👍 👍

Great video guys. I took a lot away from all the tips and techniques that Anders had. Jack had some great questions to lead into what I took away. Where can I buy the PB polishing cloth that Anders was using? Thanks again for a very informative video!!!

@gentlemansgazette 15 дней назад

Jack here - thank you! You can reach out to Paul Brunngard as the cloth doesn't seem to be visible online. In the meantime, a cheap cotton T-Shirt cut into strips can be a great alternative (and is what I use!)

I can’t tell you how many men do not know how to polish shoes properly. I can’t tell you how many men don’t wear shoes and tennis /sneakers. I so wish more men would be wear suits and nice shoes.

Right from the start I like this video. Those chiseled toe oxfords with the nice patina or marble stained leather are just the kind of shoes I like. Took me awhile to figure out why a wider shoe with a wider vamp with a more pointed or chiseled toe box looks better on me. Okay....not to restart the video. Thank you.

@IamMotionMedia 18 дней назад

If you have a new shoes that have had light cracking of wax from a shine that's been pre-applied either by the store or shoemaker. Should you still follow this process or should remove the surface layer waxes first, if so how do you go about this?

@gentlemansgazette 18 дней назад

Typically speaking, a little light cracking of the existing polish can be removed by first brushing the shoe(s) with a horsehair cleaning brush, then applying some form of rejuvenating cream. These creams aren't as harsh as other chemicals that can be used to strip the polish, and they won't harm the color of the leather either

@frank64409 18 дней назад

The leather is a SKIN, all skin has pors. Then coats to fill the pors ,when the pors are filled you can work on the shine.

@gentlemansgazette 17 дней назад

Correct! That's the process shown in the video 🙂

Naturally, I started as a GG fan, so am also happy to see Raphael and Preston on screen. Hopefully, others will find enjoyment as we continue to explore more types of style content. Anders used the Spitshine wax from Paul Brunngard, available to purchase from Arterton.

MY GOSH I hated these transitions out of the blue; they were talking about the shoes, than they're shown for like about milliseconds and then they turn to show they talking again on a wild angle. Sorry, but the editing was somehow uncomfortable. Like, bro, 1 sec on a frame? I can't watch this anymore

@r0bw00d 14 дней назад

I've never been a fan of mirror-shined toe caps because the rest of the shoe never looks like that, so it makes the polisher look very lazy. Plus, why draw attention to just the toe, anyway? This has never made any sense to me. That's why I never buy toe capped dress shoes. Either make the whole shoe look that good or don't bother.
