Step 1 (00:37): Clean Your Shoes with a Damp Cloth
The first step is to thoroughly clean the surface of your shoes using some water just to remove any type of surface dirt.

Step 2 (01:18): Apply Saphir Pommadier Cream Polish
After you've cleaned your shoes using a damp cloth, the next step is to apply Saphir's Medaille D'Or Pommadier Cream Polish. The polish will condition and recolor the shoes and acts as a gentle cleaner. Use a cotton chamois cloth to apply the cream polish and massage into the leather using circular motions.
After applying the polish, allow the leather to absorb the ingredients and the waxes to dry, for 3-5 minutes.

Step 3 (03:00): Buff off Cream Polish
Take a horsehair brush and begin to buff the polish off using moderate to firm pressure. The brush removes any excess polish, smoothes the polish out, and the friction between the brush and polish will allow the waxes to begin developing their shine.

You should be able to achieve a pretty nice shine after one application, but feel free to apply another coat if you'd like to build up the finish.

Step 4 (04:40): Apply Saphir Medaille D'Or Pate De Luxe Wax Polish
The wax polish helps elevate the shine of your fine dress shoes. We recommend matching the wax polish to the cream polish. Apply a small amount of wax polish using a cotton chamois cloth to the shoe using circular motions. Make sure you do not too much wax along the vamp (where the shoe bends) because it will cause creasing and streaking. Allow wax polish to dry for about 2-3 minutes before moving on to the next step.

Step 5 (06:01): Buff Off Wax Polish
Buff the wax polish using moderate to firm pressure.
