1. Dust off the leather using a polishing brush.
2. Using a soft cloth, apply cleaning wax evenly on the shoe. Then leave it to rest.
3. Wax the leather with a small portion of polish on a clean cloth. Apply it in a circular motion. If the shoe has Norwegian or Goodyear welt stitching, apply colorless shoe polish using a small applicator brush to make it more waterproof.
4. Buff the leather with a soft bristle brush (polisher type).
