That Super Shiny Finish?

[skyblast]

I havent made any post on here but I was reading yours and thought I would share how I get my stuff to shine. All I use is Kewi Boot polish. I use the black on projects that are black and netural on everything else. Just rub it on, buff it off. You can make it shine like a new nickle and I think it helps protect it a little. It will dull down over time and all ya have to do is put alittle more on it.

I might be wrong by doing it this way but it has worked for me on holsters, belts, motorcycle seats and just about everything I have done.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks for the great advice. Sometime soon I hope to try polishes and waxes.

Update on saddle lac. In my humble opinion....I do not like it. I spent three hours over the weekend scraping saddle lac off of 9 holsters!!! It was NOT fun to say the least. Once I noticed it chipping off of one of my holsters I knew that there was no way that I was going to send one out the door. I did refinish them with Resolene (love it now) but will have to sell them at a discount because they were salvaged. Oh well live and learn. Thanks for all the advice all.

Here is what I do, I take straight resoline, and use a sponge brush from a hardware store, apply to the leather until you see the resoline looking blue, let it dry. It gives a nice shine without being too much. Also I have noticed when I use the sponge applicator, I don't get streaks and as long as I take care of the bubbles it looks great. BUT after that first coat let it dry ALL THE WAY or you will end up in a gummy mess.
