I use Lincoln wax & seal a shine. Spend about 30mins on a boot & Im good to go for the next day. A heavy *** coat of wax & a heat gun to work it in & then when it get real shiny, I apply the seal a shine.
Mirrors baby. Mirrors.

Let me be the first to tell you just how time consuming it is! It's called cotton balls, polish, some water and a lot of free time spent to get that mirror shine. After a while, rubbing in that slow small circle gets to be rec time and second nature. Oh yeah, I love to iron too.

My ex kinda cheated.
When he shined his boots or shoes he would put floor wax on them then take a lighter and hold his boots over the flame and shine them more with a rag.
Everyone used to ask my ex how he got the shine on his shoes and he would just say elbow grease . lol
