Shoe Care (polishing)

To prevent leather dryness and to protect it from exterior agressions, in-depth nourishment is essential, a treatment made even more necessary because of the finishing products used by modern shoe makers.
Leather beeing more and more pigmented, the nourishing waxes like beeswax have increasing difficulty to penetrate and act in depth, which, in the end, can provoke serious cracking.

- Step one : brush the leather with a horsehair brush to remove all superficial dust. If you are using our products for the first time, and from time to time during regular care, we recommend a thorough cleaning with Renomat in order to remove all residue of resin or silicone which harm the leather and consequently are not included in the composition of our product ranges (this is even more efficent on light colored shoes!).

- Afterwards, care for smooth leather with products based on beeswax, which include creams ( to nourish) and pastes (essential to add shine). Our creams ar richer in natural solvent (turpentine) which permits a better and more in-depth cleaning. our pastes are richer in waxes which reinforce the shine and permit obtention of particularly shiny finishings and patina...For effective care alternate the application of cream and paste : apply a cream every three polishes.
