I am sure that those of you who are actually interested in my goal – or at least somewhat follow what I am up to – you are probably interested if my hypothesis and solutions were right and could actually solve my issues. but first, let me share with you the recent events that transcribed so that you can understand the full picture; Ever since the start of this Year, I wanted to get my boots up and looking as shiny as they were before; the only setback being the boot polish cracking. My best guess as to what was happening was that I was applying the boot polish in areas of high mechanical intensity – in other terms, those parts were under constant movement – meaning the polish, when it dries up, gets exhausted and eventually falls off. Among the world of Boot Polishers this event is called “Polish Flaking”. This believed to be true, however, the problem was not only in figuring out the issue, it was also in solving it. As the cadet boots I have are mismatched, my left boot is super shiny (as it does not have that much intensity zones) whereas my right has tons of areas with these spots. My solution was to only polish the “toe” of the boot (the part where it is hard and stays stationary) as well as the sides of the boots. This, however, made the boot look uneven and ugly compared to the other. This is where my next phase comes in to plan: I planted a small layer of polish of the areas which have high intensity – which minimizes the visibility of the peeled shoe polish, as well as creating a slight shine which under certain angles can look similar to the one on my other boot. The “toe” of the boot also got several layers of polish, and with the addition of Sapphire Polish (top tier Polish: Very expensive) which my friend gave to me as a present I got to a pretty good shine, however there is still a lot of stuff that needs to be done to create the shine I once had. If you have any questions on how to polish your boots make sure to leave a comment and I will reply with a solution to your problem. That’s it for this time, and my progress will be posted here soon, see you all in the next Polish Vlog😊!
