SAPHIR NOIRSaphir Medaille d'Or Pommadier Cream 75ml – Natural Cream Leather Shoe Polish, Leather Conditioner for Boots, Handbags

This polish is fantastic. I got this vintage Gucci and as first time I restored a bag with Saphir cream polish in light brown and nappa cream. It turned out amazing. I was amazed with myself. Not bad as it was my first time. Just make sure you don't put the recoloring cream a lot on the spot then spread it evenly before it dries. Otherwise, you'll get an uneven coat, and it's hard to remove. I used my old cotton T-shirt to apply it. Let it dry for at least 5 minutes, then buff it with a clean microfiber cloth to get the shine. Trust the process, and after 24 hrs, the color is even better; it's fully absorbed and appears like its natural color.Nappa cream, I applied before clean the bag with a leather cleaner and after polishing. I included before and after pictures.

I will never use anything else going forward. My husband and I were impressed with the rich, glowing shine this creates and how good it is at restoring color. It is absolutely worth every penny. We both feel that the leather in our shoes now look like premium leathers, making all of them look more expensive and nicer than when they were brand new.

I've been using Kiwi, Lincoln and other shoe polishes for many years because, well, that's what was readily available. I bought this polish on a whim. I figured, oh what the heck, I'll try it out. One word: WOW!This is NOT like all of the other polishes. This polish returns the shoe's leather back to its original softness and gives a luster that is just not matched with Kiwi, Lincoln or the others. It's a deep, glossy, rich, luxurious shine that is noticeably better.I stripped and renovated a 20 year old pair of high-end Johnston-Murphy Aristocraft dress shoes a couple of weeks ago that were looking a bit shop-worn with the Saphir Renomat product and followed up with this polish. WOW!!!The shoes looked like a million bucks! Maybe better than when they were new because they still had a rich patina but looked brand new. Meaning, they looked like the real deal and not like the new shoes that are sprayed with dye to look patina'd and worn.Color me very impressed. I was so pleased with the result that I bought three other colors of this polish and now use it on all of my dress and work shoes. It's THAT good and is worth the extra money because it gives a much better look and is better for expensive shoes.

Very easy to apply and hand buff off. Superior shine, better than other products I have used.

This cream/wax is really nice. A thin coats and your smooth leather boots/shoes can have a mirror shine. Here’s what I did to my Classic Black Thursday Captains.1) brush your boots/shoes with a horse haired brush to get bigger pieces of dirt off.2) clean off the boots with a wet rag to remove all loose dust and dirt.3) apply a tiny amount of the colored wax onto the vamp and then quarter panel until you get a nice even haze.4) once you get the entire shoe/boots covered wait about 10 minutes to let the wax soak into the leather.5) brush and buff the shoe/boot to a mirror shine with a horse haired brush.6) if you’re happy with the shine then stop. If you want a mirror shine get some water on a lint free rag and then buff the shoe/boots one panel at a time.7) buff again with horse haired brush and you’ll have achieved a mirror shine.8) check to see if you can see your own face or not. Lol.This colored wax is really nice to use on a black pair of boots after you condition your boots. I used the Cobblers Choice leather conditioner before applying the wax. I would put the conditioner on the boot first and give about 12hrs for the conditioner to soak into the leather. Then the next day, buff to a shine, and apply the Saphir product a quarter panel at a time and follow the aforementioned steps.I would try to use a soft cloth or a brush to apply the wax as it will stain your hands. You can also use gloves and apply the wax on with your fingers too but I used a brush to distribute the wax evenly and then buff to a mirror shine. It worked out perfectly imo.3/13/2023So I bought the dark brown to use on my Grant Stone Ottawa boots in crimson cxl because I have been in the hospital with my 7yo and while here at the hospital I accidentally opened a door on my brand new boots. I was not paying attention as I was half sleep half awake. The door ended up putting a huge gouge on the toe of my boots. I contacted GS immediately and they advised me to get a pigmented cream and cover up the gouge with it. I thought about taking it to a cobbler but I don’t have the time and honestly, I don’t mind a few scratches on my boots. I think it builds character.I used up using a q tip because the gouge was small enough that I didn’t need to use anything more to cover up the gouge. The color matched perfectly and if I wasn’t already aware of the gouge I don’t think the average Joe can see it. I am happy with the results although I should take it to a cobbler for them to blend it in but I just don’t have the time right now. Thanks in advance!5/16/2023Bought some beige cream to pair with my Dune Cxl Diesel boots from Grant Stone. As you can tell they were the perfect match although I had to do a lot of brushing to get the color to even out. At first it was very dull but after about 30 minutes of continuous brushing the part that I put the cream to polished nicely and now they make the boots look as if they were natural shell cordovan when it was only cxl. I like the results though.
