do you mean shiny like patent leather?
there is a thread or two on here about how to do a proper spit shine. none of them are the best way to do it, but are passable and will get your stuff pretty shiny.
maybe one day i'll type out how i do it. it would take quite a while and a lot of pics or a video for me to explain it correctly.
also if you google "military spit shine" some of the links should explain it well.
