Preston! Love your channel. I am working on a pair of Ecco Wingtips. After acetone on cotton pads until clean, the brogueing and toe holes are still dark with radiating staining. Should I get in to the nooks and crannies with acetone on a toothbrush?

Please post the steps you took and your ingredients that you used to strip black dye from shoes. I have a pair of Corcoran black jump boots that I want to change to patina WW2 jump boots.

와우. 얼음을 사용하는지는 몰랐네요. Wow, I didn't know that the ice cube is necessary. I am gonna use ice cube from now on.....

would this be good for boots? And would the beeswax be able to fill in slightly creased toe since they had a crease when they got issued.

Due to lifelong Orthopedic problems and the need to put orthotics in my shoes, I went to Carmina's store locally at 45th St. in New York, hoping I could get fit with a quality pair of dress shoes that I could fit my orthotics into and wear comfortably. Instead, I was met by a pushy salesman who was just hellbent on selling whatever they had in stock. When I got home and double checked the Detroits he had sold me, I saw that my orthotics were in fact cutting into the sides of the shoes, and would in no time be damaging the linings. Although I could probably order a perfect pair of custom Carminas for myself, I can't trust this company anymore. I'm just taking these shoes back.

This one was superb...less is better.

Damn shame you ruined that bag, sometimes less is more. A little lanolin and that would have been a keeper, now you should mercifully trash it.

Superb job.

So I assume this applies to boots as well

So you didn’t sand the toe area for the wax to absorb into leather better ??

Use olive oil just put very little on a rag and it’ll shine your shoes gos for anything leather or shoes olive oil good If you want to waterproof your shoes use meguiars car wax

Way too narrow even in eee 😂

Try again with the Dremel using the more solid lint attachment. From the video it looked like you used some sort of rotary brush (can't be sure). The lint attachment could work. Probably you need to dip it into the water though. The spinning motion would push out most of the water almost instantly, hopefully leaving enough humidity in the lint. BTW, I'm not an expert of shoe shining, just someone with decent DIY experience to get a sense of how to replicate the basics of one process using some other tools. I'll try it myself. If I manage to get a decent shine, I'll let you know.

Man these are beautiful

Gorgeous work! What did you use to dye the heel and sole?

Are you using navy to polish black shoes? I’m starting police academy soon and need a good shine on my boots. Your videos are great. Trying to learn as much as possible

9:34 not really shiny 10:29 super shiny What happened??? 😮

Getting those back, I would have assuming someone was taking the piss.

Man this was amazing. Made me considered my shoes even more. No more cheap shoes.

I own 3 pairs of Allen Edmonds, cap toe oxford, randolph loafers, dress boot. All of them were "first" purchased at an Allen Edmonds store, all had defects and quality inspection related issues, all of them. They are comfortable and will take a beating but for the same price or less you can get anything on SALE out of Herring or Shoepassion better finished with no defects. Grantstone makes some nice oxfords too at a good price.

I would be like, bro, did you just buy me new shoes! Where'd mine go

What do you when you have a black streak on brown leather shoes?

Dear god this was painful to watch even on 2x

No spit?

The caring and craftsmanship is amazing!!!!

Heat gun works wonders.

Надо запретить продажу красовки

Лучше новые купить у вас чем эти старые делать

Seriously - buying those tiny little containers of various Saphir products - you're paying mainly for marketing and excessive packaging (through packaging of minuscule amounts).

I hate polishing boots!

Very thorough explanation! Thank you!😊

They're not cheap but they last for a long time - im just a truck driver and i love the wingtip my fellow truck drivers used to tease me asked me if i was going to school to become a lawyer

The greens are out of this world

that antiqued bone grey from stripping color is really pretty on it's own too!

OOHRAH! Semper Fi

I’m really liking the entire process!

I’m present and on deck! Semper Fi

I have been using navy blue for years and gives a deep profound black shining ❤❤❤❤

Do you only eat “burgers” in the USA?

Good job 🎉

Great

Excellent choice of music. Shoes look outstanding.

I used to be able to get a really high glossy shine with kiwi. I would use the lighter method to achieve that shine

What is the color called please?

Agreed

Hey, Preston! Have you ever tried Kiwi Parade Gloss Prestige? I heard it's an all natural product? Would love to hear your takes on this. Thank you in advance!

Hey i have a pair of boots that already have dubbin and layers of polish build up should i use a leather stripping product to get down to the base grain if i want to apply beeswax and these other products or can i go from where i am right now onwards and apply the beeswax right away?
