whats the best way to beeswax and bull ammo/drill boots.?

Answer 1

First piece of advice, ONLY use Kiwi shoe polish and occasionally Parade Gloss.

Take a piece of cotton wool, soak in water and sqeeze out the excess water (don't want it too wet). Now wipe it in the shoe polish, you only want a LITTLE bit on your cotton wool. Polish the boot/shoe in little circles until the polish has been worked in. Repeat until the required level of shine is reached. For a new shoe/boot this will take a while as the layers are built up, do NOT use parade gloss at this stage.

By putting in the elbow grease at this point it will be easier and quicker to maintain the shine later on down the line, only about 5 mins to touch it up. Use parade gloss sparingly (inbetween layers of shoe polish) for special parades. Also "huh" on your shoes when polishing them too.

Good luck!

Ammo Boots

Answer 3

If you are a UK questioner. Go to Superdrug and get some Parade Gloss Black polish, some cotton wool and some 'Klear Floor Polish'. Get some scotch brite and make sure that the boots are clean, Then start to apply boot polish using the cotton wool (the cotton wool must be wet not dry). Work it in until you need more polish. Then repeat about 5 or 6 times and then finally start using a tiny amount of boot polish, I mean about the size of a match head to really get it polished. Then put some 'Klear' polish on the boots and gently put on the toe area. It should bring up really well. That or go to the armourer and ask him to paint them. About an hour start to finish.

Answer 4

If you do use beeswax, then you have to make your boot solid by stuffing in boot trees or old newspapers. After that using a blow torch heat up patches of the boot then rub on the beeswax.

Don't try and do your boot all at once because you'll just burn them. Once you have a covering on them you can start to bull them as the others have metioned. One word of warning if you use Klear and it gets wet you have a nice muti coloured stain on your boots.

Answer 5

The list of criteria seems absolutely ridiculous. What if the dog just happens to be a poor representation of a different breed? What if the dog just wasn't a top quality Staffy? What if it was a mix that just happened to fit the criteria? I'm not sure about the print of the law in the UK though... Stupid law to begin with... If you do plan to move to the U.S., I know my state's working on a law BANNING BSL. I hope they pass it. I don't want my dogs taken away because somebody thinks they're too big or they "look like babykillers". ;) Good luck.

Answer 6

If they are new boots get a spoon and candle.
heat the spoon over the candle and when hot apply to the leather ironing out any bumps dont burn the leather!!!.
Once this is done use Kiwi black polish this is the best.
open the tin and put clean tap water in the lid.
Using a new duster on your index finger apply polish to the boot .
1) toe caps.
2)upper.
3)heel.
once polish is applied all over you must let it dry thats the base coat.
now you must apply the polish in a circular movement over the toecap and then same finger dip into the water and again circular movements.
when you have built up a good shine use cotton wool totally wet through and this will bring them up like glass.
lots of water and polish and patience required to get the best shine.hope this helps.

Answer 7

Good advice above...BUT

if you actually polish new boots with a stiff brush and a little polish and let the polish dry, then brush in with a soft brush the next day ( repeat this about 4 to 5 times) before starting with the little circles you will get a much better base shine which will be even easier to maintain. PS - i use spit instead of water!

Answer 8

All of the above - but be careful of the Klear, it is great for day to day use if you are not prepared to bull your boots, but it turns blue if it gets wet. Highly embarassing on parade and a quick way to get AGAI'ed and the p**s ripped out of you for ages!

Answer 9

Don't agree with the kiwi bit I used cherry blossom but everything else is fine. You realy need a pair of womens tights after you have finished bulling your boots give them a good rub with the tights it realy brings out the shine.
