in the time you wrote the thread you could have searched, gone to the shops bought some and applied it. And maybe squeezed a cup'o'tea in there somewhere!

I use kiwi liquid boot polish from Tesco, but thinking of trying some other stuff.

For shows and giving them a quick blackening that looks nice but only lasts a couple days I go over them with autoglym vinyl and rubber care.

Got some linseed in the garage so I think I'll try that next time.

well i did do a search!! and have got certain ideas but none seem to be as good as the stuff i was using before, would shine like new and would repel water and dirt for about a month! ill take a pic of the bottle later see if anyone knows where i could get it.
