I don't think a semi will give the same results

Kiwi black shoe polish [with wax is better].

I swear by the stuff, and lasts sooooooo much longer than expensive autoglym!

Apply and quickly rub in the excess with a rag.

Only cost £2, and there is enough left for another coat.

Good pics i'm off to get some shoe polish. I've been using autoglym which is alright until you wash the car.

kiwi shoe polish is the nuts, tried it on mine a few days back, apply a few coats and they look almost brand new!! if you light the polish with a match and let it burn for a few secs then put it out with the tin lid its easier to work with...

Hi Guys - Can you use the shoe polish on the tyres too? I think they could do with a clean.

while we are on the subject of shoe polish, try those small hand helb sponge aplicators for the dash and interior trim, i have been usin them for years, i got a pack of ten form a quid shop, last ages, kiwi do them too in all diff colours but make sure u get the clear one, works a treat and its nice and easy :smiley:
