One little tip I might add with the sylvete, as your dampening it before use, or just before, give it a good scrape on a flat surface with a nail brush under running water. This makes sure there’s no lumps or bits to spoil the polishing and also over time, softens the material so it polishes better and quicker.

The breath does a little bit of two things: 1 it adds the tiniest bit of moisture for lubrication 2 it contrasts the work you've done. You can become a little accustomed to the shine staring at it all day, but you get used to it and it looks worse the longer you stare at it. Fogging with your breath gives your eyes a break, and when it's gone you have a fresh look at your shine.

Sorry to hear you are struggling, I'd love to open a bulling shop and sort everyones shoes out 😬 it's difficult to answer your question without seeing the shoes but my initial thought is that you haven't put enough layers on (4 or 5) and allowed atleat 30 minutes before gently brushing off before bulling with a damp Sylvet. If the cloth is dry or you bull too hard, you can drag off or over heat and wipe off layers. Watch again and start again.

Thank your very much for sharing this method. I have followed several KZitem videos but none of those work. I guess the kiwi gloss is relatively easier to spread than the safir gloss. It just shines so quickly and smooth out easily. One question to ask, by reading the comments, you recommend adding beewax to the shoes. Is it meaning by melting the beewax with a heat gun on the shoes? Also, around how many layers should be added and how to spread the beewax evenly?
@steveking8258

Hi, thank you for your comments. I've done a second video on water bulling (finishing off) your boots. Waxing is primarily used by the infantry as a base preparation layer. But yes, it's melting it on with a heat gun and a sort brush. Paint or shaving style do the trick. One or 2 even coats need to be applied. I would melt kiwi polish in with it to darken it. You need to let it go hard before chipping off the excess, cleaning out the welts and then rubbing them down with scotch brite or brillo to get them smooth. You then start the polish layering and bulling process. You also need to pack out the shoe or boot with news paper or wet sand like the infantry. This will stop the boot creasing or shrinking during the waxing and heating process. There are a couple of very good infantry videos showing this. 😊

Hi imogen . Yes I would repeat over and over until I'm happy. As far as cracks are concerned, there's not a lot you can do. Shoes or boots will crack until they are broken in and the lines in the leather are established. Brush them off even they crack and start layering again. If you have a scratch or chip on the tie cap, you can add a layer of polish and gently melt it into place with a lighter. Once it's dried in place, just start the bulling process. I hope that answers your question. 😬

It goes super dry super quick when I use my fingers do you dip ur fingers in water or swim thing?

No, it's supposed to do that. Just be generous with the amount you have on your fingers. Rub it in thoroughly 😌

When you have wiped it down with the damp selvyt to the point that it is dry, do you start over and wipe another layer on with your fingers, off brush it and then start again or do you just carry on adding polish with the selvyt?

I would probably spend 20-30 minutes bulling and creating a shine. Then re layer, allow to dry, brush off and start bulling again. Just build up until you are happy with the depth of the shine. When you can see the ceiling lights or your own perfect reflection, you can stop ! 🙂

Have these been waxed as they look like they have ? if so where did you get your wax from?

No mate just lots of layers and bulling. You can buy bees wax on ebay, it's a process that neltscand mixes it with black polish and then painting it on the shoe/boot. Yiu have to pack out the shoe first to ensure they hold shape. It's an acquired skill.
