Slitesterk Shoe Polishing Cloth – Cotton Buffing Cloth

Description

Slitesterk Shoe Polishing Cloth – the finishing touch to a proper shine

Ask any cobbler and they will tell you the secret to a great shine is not just the polish, it is the cloth. The Slitesterk Shoe Polishing Cloth is a soft, smooth cotton cloth made for applying shoe cream and wax and then buffing your leather to a warm, even shine. It is the simple, inexpensive tool that makes every other product in your kit work better.

At roughly 30 by 30cm, it gives you plenty of surface to work with. The soft weave spreads cream and wax smoothly without scratching the leather, and the same cloth buffs your shoes and boots to a lovely finish. Whether you are caring for smart leather shoes or reviving well-worn boots, a good polishing cloth belongs in every shoe-care box.

For all the fancy products in a shoe-care kit, the humble cloth is what actually delivers the shine. A soft, lint-free cloth spreads cream and wax thinly and evenly, then works the surface until the leather glows. Keep one in your kit and you will wonder how you ever managed with an old sock or a scrap of kitchen roll.

Why choose the Slitesterk Shoe Polishing Cloth?

• Applies and buffs: one cloth for spreading cream and wax evenly and then buffing to a shine.
• Soft on leather: the smooth cotton weave polishes without scratching or marking the surface.
• Generous size: around 30 x 30cm gives you plenty of clean cloth to work with.
• Great value: an inexpensive essential that improves the results of every polish and cream you own.
• Reusable: wash it out and use it again and again, so it lasts through many a shine session.

How to use the Slitesterk Shoe Polishing Cloth

1. Wrap the cloth around your fingers to make a smooth pad.
2. Pick up a small amount of shoe cream or wax and work it into the leather in small circles.
3. Leave the cream or wax to be absorbed for a few minutes.
4. Take a clean part of the cloth and buff briskly back and forth to bring up the shine.
5. For an extra-deep ‘water shine’, add a drop of water while buffing wax on the toes and heels.

Haico’s tip: Keep two cloths on the go: one just for applying cream and wax, and a clean one only for buffing. Keeping your buffing cloth free of product is the trick to that final mirror finish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wash and reuse the cloth?

Yes. Rinse it out in warm, soapy water and let it air dry. A well-cared-for cloth will last through many polishing sessions.

Do I need a separate cloth for buffing?

It helps a lot. Using a clean cloth for the final buff, kept free of built-up polish, gives you a noticeably brighter, more even shine.

What can I use it on?

It is ideal for smooth leather shoes and boots. Use it to apply cream, polish and wax, and to buff and shine, but avoid using a polishing cloth on suede or nubuck.

Why use a cloth as well as a brush?

A brush knocks off dust and works polish into the leather, but the final glass-like shine comes from buffing with a soft cloth. The two work best together as a pair.
