How to Polish Your Boots

This video shows the method I use to polish my BDU boots. This method can also be used with your dress shoes or any other leather shoes.

There are many other ways to polish boots but I know that this way works because I used it on my own boots. I hope this video will help cadets learn how to polish their boots and make their uniform even better.

Feel free to comment, ask questions, and subscribe (I will be making many more Civil Air Patrol related videos)

    The reason why lighters are a bad idea is because they dry out the leather,they burn your boots invisibly, and the fumes from the polish is very dangerous.

    the way I learned how to polish was to clean off boots with a cleanx, take the polish and hold, rub it around, use a rag to spread it, reclean with a cleanx, and rub slowly with a wax rag used on automobiles. my boots get a great shine from it.

    i start by melting on about 4 layers of polish before i even start buffing. Then I bust out the Parade Gloss and a little bit of water to bring out the shine. This guy seemed to get good results too though.
