4. Stuff you’ll need
1. Shoe shine (black,brown, or white)
2. Cotton balls
3. Lighter
4. Cup with water
5. Shoe shining brush or a cloth/rag

5. Lets begin
1. Open your shoe polish, take your polish brush/cloth and rub some polish
onto it. Be careful not to over do it.

6. 2. Now, rub the brush/rag onto your shoes in small circles. Make sure you take
your time and completely cover the area you would like to polish. The area
should be smooth and a matte black color with a very slight shine to it by the
time you’re done

7. 3. Once you have a finished rubbing the polish onto the shoe you
can go ahead and grab your lighter. Use the lighter to go over all
the places that have shoe polish. Make sure you are not burning
your shoes, keep the flames moving from place to place on the
shoes surface. Give the shoes a few good passes with lighter
before moving to the next step.

8. 4. Next, grab a your cotton balls and a cup of water. Wet the cotton ball and
begin to rub the polished area in small circles. As you do this the shoes should
appear to clear up into a mirror shine

9. 5. Finally, you can go ahead and gently dry them off with a cloth. Rub
some more shoe polish on your brush or rag and brush the sides of the
soles of the shoes to give them a nice dark finish to go with the shine
