Really educational! I'd never thought about how the solvent in the polish keeps the wax soft and then evaporates, pretty similar to how paint works! Thanks again for another great video!

Great video as always Dan! As an ex Guardsman, the Military methods vary, but for all Household Division soldiers, we were all taught to 'burn boots down' before bulling (the entire boot) during basic training. Boots packed out solid inside with damp newspaper and made firm into shape with laces tied. Once complete, several blocks of beeswax are melted in a pan. Boots then warmed with blowtorch which both burns off the dimples and opens the pores up...although you can imagine what too much heat will do to the stitching! Once the leather was hot, beeswax was brushed onto the boots, melted into the leather, repeated several times and left to cool...it took hours. If you did it right you were left with a very hard pair of boots which when broken to your shape, would hold dozens of layers of polish without serious cracking. It wasn't uncommon to see drill boots (ammo boots with hobnails) that originated from the 1950's and 60's that had been handed down to serving soldiers in the 1990's. The newer boots tended to have slightly thinner leather and many a new pair ruined with a blow torch😂. No use to anyone else but Military though.

Canadian airborne infantry here, we did it the exact same way he did in the video. But once we were in the regiment we painted them instead with a glossy spray paint (only for the parade boots). But the paint chipped fast!!

We also used the back of a teaspoon to iron the dimples out of the leather, once hot... But the leather needed reheating after the "Spooning" to open up the pores again and accept the beeswax. I was serving in Northwood and by the tube station was a tiny cobblers shop. On the off chance, I took my Ammo Boots to the little old Jewish Cobbler and he became super excited to replace the soles, add the hob nails and horseshoes on the heels. He did an amazing job and charged me practically nothing. I took him in a bottle of Whisky 🥃 and he said that he'd only drink it with me... Ammo Boots resoled perfectly, tales told and hangover recovery, all for £25:00. Happy Days 😂🤣

Just bought some Saphir Polish, great stuff and is very good for the leather , if it needs softening that is, my boots now feel more like slippers! If I want a quick shine, after you have a base you are shining the polish and not the leather, I would choose the harder Kiwi. After you have a really high gloss shine then never use a brush, just let cold water from the tap run over the boots for a while and use some cotton wool. You need a friendly Guardsman, or rather a Senior WO rank to show you what a pair of Bulled Drill Boots should look like, you should be able to peer into the boots as if they were a pool of clean water! Great video though. PS, just used some Saphir ``Canadian´´on a dried out Leather Jacket, it now looks like new and the leather is very soft.

When I was in high school, I had a class that I had to have my shoes polished once a week for inspection I discovered a lot of those tricks miss on my own the alcohol trick. I actually discovered because I put too much polish on my shoes and I was stripping it down. I would actually dip the rag and water and then I would dip the tip in alcohol and then I realized I was getting a really Nice mirror shine

Love the video, but there's no way that you can persuade me to spend £500 on a Chinese-made shoe, no matter how high quality.
