    Default Dremel shoe shine

    Picked up this vintage shoe shiner today at the flea market. Looks unused but had a little pitting in the chrome. Mothers got it shining real nice!

    I thought it'd be kinda cool to have in the corner of my barber shop. Now I'm looking for some good polish for my customers who wanna give it a whirl...Any suggestions!

    Not sure about the polish but we have something like that (bigger with more buffers) in the bathroom of my job.

    This one is way cool!

    As I recall you just used it after a regular shoe shine polish. Other wise what color would you put on it ? Look at it like a Zulu Grey or an Escher for shoes :<0) Doesn't matter about the basic buff, it's just for touch ups and a high polish.

    We had one at work. It had a pole going up the middle with a switch on it so that you could control it from above. I used it just as a touch up, not right after
    polishing my boots. For that I used the brush.

    My father had one in his office,and there right it's for a quick polish of already shined shoes. If I remember correctly, the red one is for brown shoes and the black for black.

    The only thing I use is mink oil. Though I don't think that's a polisher so much as a conditioner... But the cool thing other than the fact that it's amazing is that it's neutral color wise, so long as the dyes and curing of the leather don't adversely react to the spot test.
