Shoeshine Guide Basic:
More often than you might think, your shoes are in need of a basic treatment. Leather is a material that should be cared for with passion, it is one of natures’ finest prides.

1. Start by removing all dirt and sand from your shoes with a brush or moist cloth.

2. Second, apply Saphir Renovateur by using an applicator cloth, distribute evenly and let dry. Renovateur will nourish the leather deeply. Let dry for five minutes and brush out using a horsehair brush.

3. Third, apply Saphir Pommadier by using an applicator cloth and evenly distribute the cream. Let dry for five minutes. Pommadier will nourish, recolour, protect and give a soft shine. Brush out with a horsehair brush. Depending on the state of the shoes, repeat this step up to 3 times.

4. Optional: After applying and brushing out 2 layers of Pommadier, use a combination of Saphir Mirror Gloss and Saphir Pate de Luxe to create a splendid polish and finish to your shoes.
