Saphir Medaille d’Or Polishing Cloth – 100% Cotton Buffing Cloth – the professional’s cloth for flawless application and shine
A brilliant shine begins with the right cloth, and few come finer than the Saphir Medaille d’Or Polishing Cloth. Made from 100% roughened natural cotton, this premium cloth is designed for professional leather care, spreading products evenly and buffing to a deep, refined shine.
Its soft, slightly textured surface picks up cream and polish beautifully and lays it down in a smooth, even film. That means no streaks, no wasted product and a consistently elegant finish across the whole shoe.
It is a true multi-tasker: perfect for applying cream, buffing to a glow and adding those final finishing touches. Gentle enough for smooth leather shoes, boots, bags and other leather goods, it is a staple every shoe lover should keep to hand.
Honestly, the cloth you use matters more than most people realise – swap a rough rag for one of these and you will see the difference in your shine straight away. It is the little upgrade I always recommend first.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wash the cloth and reuse it?
Yes. It is a durable cotton cloth that can be washed and reused many times – just keep a separate cloth for applying and buffing if you like a flawless finish.

It handles both applying and buffing, though many enthusiasts use one cloth for cream and another for the final shine to avoid transferring residue.

Nice big polishing cloth, quite pricey though, you can get microfibre cloths at Action that do the same.

The cloth is soft and a bit rough at the same time. Good for buffing the leather after treatment to get a nice shine. The cloth is fairly big, so you fold it in four, and with a thicker layer it’s easier to work with and doesn’t slip out of your hands.
