1). Spread a thick layer of paste polish
over the leather to be spit shined.
2). Allow it to dry for 5 minutes.
3). Wrap a soft, clean cloth around
your index finger so you have a smooth
area on the end of your finger and dip
it in water so it is thoroughly wet but
not dripping.
4). Using a small circular motion,
buff the dried polish with the wet cloth
until a shine starts to develop.
5). Still using the damp rag on
your finger, apply a fine layer of
polish in a circular motion and keep on
rubbing lightly until a hazy shine
develops.
6). Keeping the rag damp, build up
the shine with thin layers of polish
applied in circles with light pressure
until a glossy shine develops.
7). When sufficient shine has
developed, use a clean, dry, soft cloth
to give it a final buff and remove any
last haze.
Tips:
1).
The reason to use a wet cloth is to
stop the fine coats of polish sticking
to the cloth and to encourage the polish
to stick to the leather.
2). You want to keep on building
up thin layers of wax until you have a
completely smooth surface that gives the
glossy shine.
3). After the first heavy coat
of polish you must use small amounts of
polish to build up the shine. If you use
too much polish, the solvent in the
polish you are applying will dissolve
the base you have already built up. |
