Step By Step Guide: How To Shine Shoes With A Lighter

A few days ago,

I met one of my military friends in a get-together.

We talked,

laughed, and took photographs. Interestingly, I noticed his shoes, sparkling like the supernova.

I asked her the reason, and he whispered, “Hush, I use light to shine my shoes.”

So,

I decided to share his experience and my research findings on how to shine your shoes with lighter.

Shoe polish ignited by a lighter is easy to work with and seeps well in shoe leather.

You can follow these steps-

• Before you start shoe shining, put a newspaper over the working area and keep all your shining accessories like a shoe, lighter, shoe-polish, shoe cleaning brush on it.
• At first, inspect your shoe closely and remove all the debris using a shoe brush. Take off the shoelaces and again wipe the shoe with a rag or cleaning cloth dampened in water.
• Now, it’s time to let your lighter show its magic. Firstly, open the shoe shiner. Then ignite the shoe polish through flames of the lighter covering the surface area of the shoe-polisher.
• If you are satisfied that your lighter has ignited the shoe shiner properly, extinguish the fire and remove the lighter. Then clean the surface with a cleaning cloth dampened in water.
• Now start shining your shoe with the melted shoe shiner. Apply it on a small part of the shoe in a circular motion.
• Now, sprinkle some water on the previously polished water and reapply the melted shoe shiner on the same spot to create another shining layer.
• Repeat the processes 5 & 6 all over your shoe surface to ensure that there is no portion left to apply melted shoe shiner.
• While applying ignited shoe shiner put attention so that no crevices and creases remain unpolished.
• Reapply the shoe shiner on the entire shoe surface several times through repeating process 5 and 6.
• Take a shoe brush and start running it on the shoe surface until you get a satisfactory, glowing, and shiny shoe surface.
• The shoe should come out sparkling like a bright star within a few minutes. Put the laces on and keep all the accessories to their place.

A lighter surely works wonder to shine your shoe if you follow the steps with care. It’s not a big deal. Investing a few minutes and following these easy steps will put your shoes shine like the first day when you brought the pair.
