To use instant shoe shine cream, dip the sponge applicator lightly into the cream and glide it across your shoes. This restores color, adds moisture, and provides a natural shine without buffing. Let the shoes dry completely before wearing.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Prepare your shoes: Ensure your shoes are clean and dry before applying the shoe shine cream. Remove any loose dirt or debris with a cloth or brush.
- Apply the cream: Lightly dip the sponge applicator (usually attached to the bottle) into the shoe shine cream. A little goes a long way, so avoid using too much.
- Spread evenly: Apply the cream evenly over the entire surface of the shoe, using smooth, overlapping strokes.
- Allow to dry: Let the shoe shine cream dry completely. This usually takes just a few minutes.
- No buffing needed: Most instant shoe shine creams are formulated to provide a shine without the need for buffing. However, if you desire an extra level of shine, you can gently buff the shoes with a soft cloth after they are dry.
- Wear and enjoy: Once the cream is dry, your shoes are ready to wear!
Important Considerations:
- Color Matching: Choose a shoe shine cream that closely matches the color of your shoes. If you're unsure, a neutral shoe shine cream is a safe option for most colors.
- Test Area: Before applying to the entire shoe, test the cream on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't discolor or damage the material.
- Storage: Store the shoe shine cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Application Frequency: The frequency of application depends on how often you wear your shoes and the conditions they're exposed to. Generally, applying shoe shine cream every few wears is sufficient.
