00:00 Expert Shoe Polishing Introduction
With Anders Sundström, the Swedish champion of shoe shining. Anders is taking us through the advanced stages of a shoe shine. This is where we transform that ordinary polish and shine into something really quite exquisite that you really don’t see anywhere else.
01:44 Building Layers
Build layers to create a base for the spit shine. The key here is building thin layers on top of each other because the biggest mistake most people do is grabbing a bunch of goo of the wax and trying to put that on the surface, and it will always result in failure.
Either, you won’t be able to release the shine to get a good shine or what will happen is that the the solvents in the bottom of the wax layer will not evaporate, but the top will, which means that the shrinkage isn’t not homogeneous and it cracks.
09:55 Let the Wax Settle (5-10 mins)
We’re not at finishing stage; we’re still in the build-up phase, but we need to release the spit shine to make a shiny surface.
20:42 Finishing Stage
This is where we’re just getting that explosive, sharp shine release. We applied multiple layers of wax to create that wax layer, covering the grains. We also released it to create a dull shine—let’s say— just to be able to build on it, to finish it.
