Shoe Polishes: FAQ

How do I ensure the polish color matches my shoes exactly?

Check the seller's color chart against your shoes in natural light. When in doubt, choose a 'Neutral' or 'Universal' transparent wax, or select a shade slightly lighter than your leather to avoid unwanted darkening.

What ingredients indicate a high-quality leather polish?

Look for natural components like carnauba wax, beeswax, or mink oil in the product specifications. Avoid polishes with high concentrations of alcohol or harsh solvents, as these can dry out premium leather over time.

How can I verify the volume and size of the product?

Always scroll down to the 'Specifications' tab to check the net weight in grams (g) or milliliters (ml). Photos can be misleading; a standard professional tin is typically between 40ml and 75ml.

Will liquid polishes leak during international shipping?

Top-rated AliExpress sellers use vacuum sealing or reinforced tape for liquid items. Look for stores with high 'Packaging' scores in customer reviews to ensure your polish arrives without mess.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Wax vs. Cream Selection
Choose cream polishes for hydration and color pigment restoration, while hard waxes should be used for achieving a high-gloss, protective 'spit-shine' finish.
✓
Waterproofing Capability
Check for hydrophobic additives or silicone-free water-repellent specs if you live in rainy climates to protect the leather from salt and moisture damage.
✓
Applicator Compatibility
Verify if the polish comes with a built-in sponge or if you need to purchase a separate horsehair brush for proper buffing and application.
