HOW TO APPLY
To properly apply wax polish to your boots, start by cleaning them and then apply a thin layer of wax polish in circular motions, avoiding suede or textile areas. After letting it dry, buff the boots with a clean cloth or brush to achieve the desired shine.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Preparation
Clean the boots
Remove dirt, dust, and any old polish with a brush or damp cloth.
Remove laces
This will make it easier to access all areas of the boot.
Consider using a shoe tree
This will help maintain the shape of the boot while you work.
2. Applying the Polish
Use a clean cloth
A microfiber cloth or an old t-shirt works well for applying the polish.
Apply in thin layers
Avoid applying too much polish at once. Use small amounts and work it into the leather in a circular motion.
Focus on key areas
Pay extra attention to the toe, heel, and welt (the edge where the sole meets the upper).
Avoid Suede and textiles
Don't apply wax polish to suede or textile parts of the boot as it can damage them.
3. Drying and Buffing
Allow the polish to dry
Let the polish sit for a few minutes to absorb into the leather.
Buff to a shine
Use a clean cloth or a horsehair brush to buff the boots, working in circular motions until you achieve the desired shine.
4. Optional steps
Apply multiple layers
For a higher shine, apply several thin layers of polish, buffing in between each layer.
Use a damp cloth
A slightly damp cloth can help remove excess polish and create a smoother finish.
To apply Dasco Wax and Shine to your leather shoes, first remove any loose dirt with a brush. Shake the can well and spray evenly onto the shoes from about 20cm away. Allow a few minutes for the product to dry, then buff with a clean cloth to achieve a shine.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Prepare the shoes
Use a LANX Cleasby shoe brush to remove any loose dirt or dust.
2. Shake the can
Ensure the ingredients are properly mixed by shaking the Wax & Shine aerosol can well.
3. Apply the product
Hold the can approximately 20cm from the shoe and spray evenly across the entire surface.
4. Allow to dry
Let the product dry for a few minutes, allowing it to penetrate the leather.
5. Buff to a shine
Use a clean cloth to buff the shoes, bringing out a lustrous shine.
To clean suede boots with a dry cleaner, start by removing loose dirt with a brush, then spot test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area. Apply the cleaner to a clean cloth, not directly onto the suede, and gently blot the boots, working from seam to seam. Avoid saturating the suede and allow the boots to air dry completely before brushing them with a suede brush to restore the nap.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Preparation
Remove loose dirt
Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a clean, dry cloth to remove loose dirt and debris from the boots.
Spot test
Before applying the cleaner to the entire boot, test it on a small, hidden area to ensure it doesn't discolor or damage the suede.
2. Applying the Cleaner
Dampen a cloth
Apply the suede cleaner to a clean, dry cloth, not directly onto the suede.
Blot the boots
Gently blot the suede, working from seam to seam to avoid creating watermarks.
Avoid over-saturation
Do not soak or saturate the suede with the cleaner.
3. Drying and Buffing
Air dry
Allow the boots to air dry completely in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Brush the suede
Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove any remaining dirt or residue.
Additional Tips
Stubborn stains
For stubborn stains, you can try using a suede eraser or a specialized cleaning rubber designed for suede.
1. Remove Surface Dirt
Use a soft brush or dry cloth to wipe away loose dirt and dust from the leather.
2. Dampen the Cloth or Sponge
Lightly wet your cloth or sponge with water. It should be damp, not soaking.
3. Apply Saddle Soap
Rub the damp cloth/sponge onto the saddle soap to create a light lather.
4. Clean the Leather
Gently rub the lather into the leather using circular motions. Focus on one section at a time.
5. Wipe Off Excess
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to remove any leftover soap and dirt.
6. Dry the Leather
Wipe the leather with a dry towel and let it air dry naturally (away from direct sunlight or heat).
7. Condition the Leather (Recommended)
Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Tips & Warnings
• Test on a small hidden area first to check for color change.
• Don’t use saddle soap on suede or nubuck.
• Overuse can dry out leather—use sparingly, only when needed.
To apply Dasco Protector Spray to boots, first ensure the boots are clean and dry. Shake the can well, then spray evenly from a distance of about 20cm, holding the can at arm's length. Allow the spray to dry for the recommended time (usually 10-30 minutes) before wearing the boots.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Prepare the boots
Brush off any loose dirt or debris from the boots. If the boots are new, you may not need to clean them, but if they are pre-worn, cleaning can improve the spray's effectiveness.
2. Shake the can
Ensure the Dasco Protector Spray is well-mixed by shaking the can thoroughly.
3. Spray evenly
Hold the can about 20cm (approximately arm's length) away from the boots and spray in a sweeping, even motion, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
4. Allow drying
Let the treated boots dry completely before wearing them. This usually takes around 10-30 minutes, but refer to the product instructions for the specific drying time.
5. Reapply as needed
For optimal protection, reapply the Dasco Protector Spray regularly, especially after cleaning the boots or when you notice a decrease in water repellency.
Tips & Warnings
Test in a small area
Before applying the spray to the entire boot, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't darken the boot's color, especially with lighter shades.
Ventilation
Apply the spray in a well-ventilated area, or even better, outdoors, as the spray can have a strong odor.
Follow instructions
Always refer to the specific instructions on the Dasco Protector Spray packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
To properly apply waxed and oiled shoe cream, start by cleaning your shoes with a brush or damp cloth, then apply a thin layer of cream using a cloth or applicator, working it into any creases and allowing it to dry. Finally, buff the shoes with a brush and cloth to remove excess and achieve a shine.
Detailed Steps:
1. Clean the shoes
Remove any dirt or dust with a brush or damp cloth. If using a damp cloth, allow the shoes to dry completely.
2. Apply the cream
Use a clean cloth or applicator to apply a thin, even layer of shoe cream to the entire surface, including the welt and heel. Work the cream into any creases or areas of abrasion.
3. Allow to dry
Let the shoes sit for a few minutes (5-10 minutes is often recommended) to allow the cream to penetrate and nourish the leather.
4. Buff the shoes
Use a horsehair brush to blend the cream into the leather with firm, circular motions.
5. Remove excess
Wipe away any remaining cream with a clean, soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth.
6. Shine (optional)
For a higher shine, repeat steps 4 and 5 or apply a wax polish after the cream has been absorbed.
7. Re-lace and enjoy
Put the laces back in and you're ready to go.
Tips for Oiled and Waxed Leather
Don't over-apply
It's better to use a thin layer and reapply if needed than to over-saturate the leather.
Consider the type of leather
Some oiled leathers may require specific products or methods, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's instructions.
Test in an inconspicuous area
Before applying any new product, test it in a hidden area to ensure it doesn't affect the color or finish.
To apply a nubuck cleaner to a pair of boots, start by removing loose dirt with a brush, then apply the cleaner evenly, and finally, brush the nubuck in the direction of the nap. Avoid using artificial heat to dry the boots.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Prepare the boots
Begin by removing any loose dirt or debris from the boots. A dry brush, ideally a nubuck or suede brush, is recommended.
2. Apply the cleaner
Use a nubuck or suede dry cleaning spray and apply it evenly to the boots, holding the can about 5 centimeters away,
3. Brush the boots
After applying the cleaner, use the brush to gently brush the nubuck in the direction of the nap. This helps to lift dirt and restore the texture of the material.
4. Dry naturally
Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Important Notes
• Avoid using excessive amounts of cleaner, as it can saturate the leather.
• If you're unsure about the cleaner or application method, test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
• For stubborn stains, consider using a specialized stain remover designed for nubuck.
• Regular maintenance, including brushing and occasional conditioning, will help keep your nubuck boots looking their best.
To apply natural dubbin to leather boots, start by cleaning and drying the boots thoroughly. Then, gently warm the dubbin and the boots (optional, but helps with absorption) using a hairdryer on low heat. Apply a small amount of dubbin to a cloth and rub it evenly into the leather, working it into seams and crevices. Repeat this process as needed, allowing the dubbin to penetrate for 30-60 minutes before buffing off any excess with a dry cloth.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Clean the Boots
Before applying dubbin, ensure your leather boots are clean and dry. Use a brush or cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Apply Dubbin
Apply a small amount of dubbin to a clean cloth or sponge.
3. Rub Dubbin into the Leather
Gently rub the dubbin into the leather, working it into the seams, stitching, and any areas prone to water damage. Dubbin wax will leave an oily film on the leather, so use it sparingly to avoid making a mess.
4. Repeat and Allow to Absorb
Repeat the application process as needed, ensuring the dubbin is spread evenly. Allow the dubbin to penetrate the leather for 30-60 minutes.
5. Buff and Polish (Optional)
After the dubbin has had time to absorb, buff the boots with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess and reveal a subtle shine.
To properly apply leather conditioner to boots, start with clean, dry leather. Apply a small amount of conditioner with a soft cloth using circular motions, ensuring all seams and joints are treated. Allow the conditioner to absorb for a few minutes (or as directed on the product), then buff away any excess with a clean, dry cloth or a brush for a shine.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Clean the boots
Before conditioning, remove any dirt or debris with a brush or damp cloth.
2. Test the conditioner
Apply a small amount of conditioner to a hidden area of the boot to check for any adverse reactions or changes in color.
3. Apply the conditioner
Using a soft cloth or applicator, apply a small amount of conditioner to the leather, working it in with circular motions.
4. Ensure full coverage
Make sure to treat all areas of the boot, including seams and joints.
5. Allow it to absorb
Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes (or as directed on the product) to allow it to penetrate the leather.
6. Buff the boots
Use a clean, dry cloth or brush to buff the boots, removing any excess conditioner and creating a shine.
7. Allow to dry
Let the boots air dry, away from direct heat sources, until fully dry.
8. Buff again (optional)
If desired, you can buff the boots again with a clean cloth for an extra shine.
9. Regular maintenance
Condition your boots every few months, or more frequently if they are exposed to harsh conditions.
