SAPHIRWax Shoe Polish Black Size: 7

Before I start, I just thought I should reiterate what a couple of other reviewers have already stated:THIS IS NOT A STANDARD SHOE CREAM/POLISH! IT IS A SPECIALLY FORMULATED REPAIR CREAM FOR FILLING DEEP MARKS AND SCRATCHES.With that out of the way, I discovered this by accident when, after getting back a pair of resoled boots, I noticed that the deep, unsightly nick, previously on one of the toes (courtesy of a woman’s heels, as is always the case), had been filled in (albeit somewhat crudely).After making an enquiry, I ordered this to finish the job – the nick was largely covered, but some more of this repair cream needed to be applied to finish the job. With the aid of an old plastic card and some nitrile gloves, I carefully applied the cream over the affected area and left it to dry.Half an hour later, using a cloth, I then applied some Saphir Medaille d'Or Pommadier cream over the same area, applying some firm pressure (and generating some heat) as I went back and forth.Hours later, I returned to the boots and could no longer see even the slightest trace of where the nick used to be. That’s how effective this product is!So, in a nutshell, anyone who’s serious about their leather footwear needs to own at least one tube of this. It’s certainly worth every penny.

These boots got scuffed right through the top layer into the brown leather. This stuff really works

I purchased this product to get rid of a few scuffs in a 30cm handbag similar to the one on the side of the product’s box. It worked very well for the purpose and did not affect the texture of the purse in any negative way. It is also very flexible, which is a plus for future use, and the color match was excellent. However, it takes about 10 minutes to dry, and if you are renovating a particularly awkward item you may get the cream on yourself instead of the object. That being said the cream washes off skin easily with soap and water.

This cream was able to give a new lease of life to my beloved 10 year old shoes. It's NOT a polish and should not be used as a polish. Put on a latex or nitrile glove that fits tightly and use your finger to smear it and work it into the scuff marks. I find it looks best when you lightly rub the cream and blend it into the area surrounding where it's applied. It takes about 10m - 15m to dry, after which you then use a shoe cream or polish. I strongly recommend using the Saphir Renomat product to remove all polish and shoe cream before applying this product.

This is an amazing product you only need a small amount! I am in the RAF and wear parade shoes and this gives an amazing finish if needed.This is not a cheap product but worth every penny!This is the third time I have purchased.

I badly scuffed the top of the toe on a recently purchased smart black leather men's derby pair of shoes. As the scuff was a series of deep parallel scores , about an inch wide and an inch long on the promenent top of the toe I considered relegating these to 'gardening duty'. Researched on U Tube and thought I would try this product, which apparently contains a filler. This renovating cream has a thick consistency and high black pigmentation. Needed two coats, but I'm amazed to say it did the trick. I'm now proud to wear these smart shoes again with the damage invisible and forgotten. I will now try other Saphir shoe care products to maintain my many pairs of quality leather shoes. As a guide I would only ever buy or recommend leather lined shoes, never textile lined shoes which reflect an inferior quality of manufacture and won't last as long.

Tube is smaller than I expected.

Not was I was expecting, I applied on my warm shoes as they have few scratches, few hours after the product started to peel off. Not happy
