Man if u were in the forces you would be in soooo much shit like you'd get skull fucked for shining combat boots For any one reading this NEVER shine combat boots only parade boot and burn shining can also fuck up ur boots
It's been a while since I've done this. Have you tried using a microfiber cloth instead of nylons? Microfiber wasn't around in my day but I think it may actually work better.
@CAPTutorialized First, the lighter method is crap, second, u did it wrong. The way you do it is you heat up the polish in the can until it's in a very thick liquid state and apply in circles. Keep applying and buffing until shiny. Lastly, DON'T USE A LIGHTER ON THE BOOT! IT WILL RUIN THE BOOT AND THE SHINE!
Honestly I wasted days doing this.. this is pointless the lighter just makes it dull but looks shiny at first...your boots are incredibly dull and arent uniform ready. SrA...no wonder...amatuer ahah
@crosmanchallenger1 And they all look like crap. Shined black boots are sexy. What am I talking bout, nevermind. Tan boots are a helluva lot better than black boots. Can't wait for next year, I'm going to be in JROTC.
@USAFFuturePilot In a way they look good but whats the point of having something shiny besides having you killed by a sniper or spotted etc. Where abouts is your JROTC you are planning to join
@wesman118 No way to argue with that. JROTC is a lot less serious, and it is a class that I can fail. The tan boots still look better though (but the ACU's suck, they fit like trashbags.)
Really? Your a USMC poolee ? I really want to be a marine too, that's the reason I joined CAP is to kind of prepare me for the Marines, also in MJROTC. OORAH!
Why did u wash out your boots with so much water? one of the reasons you shine is to make it so that your boots dont crack, and too much water makes them crack if not ALREADY properly shined. you r supposed to use some water but your not supposed to wash it out completely. and inless you have already shined it before and done a good job of getting the shine into the pours of the boot water will make the leather crack. If you are washing it to get off dust or dirt than there are brushes for that
@skillet2331 I've been in Civil Air Patrol as a cadet since i was 14. I'm still in, but i'm also a Poolee in the Marine Corps. My ship date is Dec. 5th because i have to finish High School.
@CAPTutorialized hey great vid,but im also im the civil air patrol,and i was wondering if you polish the intire boot or just the tip and the back thanks man
@TheColombiandude I am AFROTC. It is not against regs to fireshine your boots or low-quarters, and as a STANDO myself, it's often more effective when you don't have extra time to shine. However, though it's not against regs, it IS discouraged because, if done wrong, it can damage your shoes. But with proper training, anyone can do it. :)
@CAPTutorialized Hey, I was wondering how do you take off scuff marks from dress shoes? I am in the LAPD Cadets and we need to wear dress shoes and I scuffed my shoe while doing drills I think, and I really want to know how to take it off please help! And when you say lairs you mean after you put it on the entire surface evenly put another layer right? THANKS
@8850luke okay listen first learn to type and second he didn't go through the hole tutorial he shortened parts and also the point isn't so its a mirror shine its shiny to look better with your uniform and the WHOLE point to shining them is for water protection there no real need to get them that shiny yes it looks better but it more work and if you where smart enough to know
I agree with mrrich3006.....all you need id kiwi, water, and a soft shining cloth....I use an old T-shirt. NO nylon stocking for lighter! And as far as ONE finger? Try two! Works the same and covers more area quicker. I've found the key is the pressure you use when making your "swirls." Oh, and you DON'T have to make such small "swirls" either. 27 years of shining boots and shoes this way and haven't had any complaints yet!
@Freepepsi42 I wouldn't buy a shining cloth. As I mentioned in my post, all I use is an old T-shirt. Trust me, I tried all the "short cuts" when I was in the military. FOR ME, Kiwi, water and my trusty cotton T-shirt work the best!
@Freepepsi42 Only time I buffed was if, at the end of the day, my boots still had a decent shine remaining, I would take a soft part of the t-shirt I used to shine the boots and buff with that; to get out small marring, scuffs, and return the shine. I did this rather than completely shine the boot again. In my experience I found there is no one and only way to shine boots. Find what works for YOU (effort- and time-wise) - use that. Oh..and practice....the more you shine, the better you'll get.
@ubernoob44 yeah i just spent the past 3 hours shining the boot and i did not even recive my boots yet for cadets these were my own pair but i got a shine that i could see myself in them so it brings the total amount of hours from no shine to total shine at 7 hours.
dude if u did em right u could get those mother fuckers to shine like formals. use a little water and dont do that pantyhose bullshit eather. just kiwi and water thats it...formals dude.
parade gloss and old white hanes shirt are better! spit shine with very little water is how I score high marks during inspection when I was in the USAF.
@JuelzZantana i got i got tru-spec and they work great also a good idea is get the ones with ones that you can cheat with and that have laces but you can zip up on the sides otherwise as long as you tell the place that your buying the boots for c.a.p. as long as its a good army surplus store they should kow what to get and really as long as there black they should be good
@JuelzZantana ahh im in the michigan thumb and its snowing wich kinda sucks becaus were not aloud to wear hoodies or jackets we have to layer under neath our uniforms with limites you a lot
he is an air man which is part of the civil air patrol if im correct. regulation shows that we need to polish our boots and iron our bdu's and blues uniforms.
Does JROTC or whatever reognize that the military does not even require that you polish your boots anymore? You guys should be using desert boots now.
ok for applying the polish u must have a kiwi polishing cloth it works the best on the side that says kiwi in the corner,stockings not needed , lighter not needed u dont have to unlace ur boots if u dont want to when u are applying polish it dont matter the size of circles just use room temp watter and keep polishing no need to fire polish u can do better not fire polishing and at then end if u buff ur boots u make it worse it and dont use a lighter u just melt the polish and take the shine out
If you insist on using a lighter you might want to get one of those lighter guns used for lighting stoves. Better control, no burnt fingers. You might also wish to run the lighter over the top, rather than below for greater control. Since the heat of the flame rises, if you hold the boot over the flame you subject it to invisible hot gases that may give you more heat than you want.
Where are you a cadet? Your accent seems North American but your boots aren't laced in the NATO standard that are enforced in most cadet programs.
Also, lighters are horrible for getting a good shine, while they do give a nice shine, they damage the leather and greatly reduce the life of your boots/shoes.
Instead of using a lighter you could just stick the polish on a hot plate. basically you just need it "melty" to get in deeper. It's too easy to burn your boots with a lighter. Also if your boots have years of polish on them you can strip them with rubbing alcohol and start all over.
When I was in the Army I realized after a while that using a lighter after many times it actually baked the Kiwi. So instead I changed to a hair dryer at full blast.
Take a piece of cotton wool, soak in water and sqeeze out the excess water (don't want it too wet). Now wipe it in the shoe polish, you only want a LITTLE bit on your cotton wool. Polish the boot/shoe in little circles until the polish has been worked in. Repeat until the required level of shine is reached. For a new shoe/boot this will take a while as the layers are built up, do NOT use parade gloss at this stage.

@IZCSRI Hope i can get in though I have a heart condition but i am fine just need a wavier and i am going to need another pulmanary valuve replacement at 18 or 21
@IZCSRI Wow you guys get promoted SOOOO fast in the CAP :P In the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, we have 8 ranks and you get promoted "every year". So right now I'm a Flight Sergeant and I've been in it for 5 years and I could only guess I would be equivalent to either a CMSgt in your ranks or at the very least an officer rank. You guys do have cool ranks though :P I always get amused to how some of my cadets get a bit scared because they don't know how to sometimes address your ranks :P
@IZCSRI We work hard too it's just that because we only have 8 ranks we don't promote as fast. If we had 15 (I believe it is) we would promote REALLY fast. So as a SMSgt (we don't say C/FSgt in the RCAC we just say FSgt) are you in charge of a flight or detail or what?
@aceflyer89 Right now I'm the Administrative NCO but we will be having a staff selection soon and I'm going to try for a different Position in the Flight like a First Sergeant or maybe Flight Sergeant (if not them then maybe I'll try to get my old job as Admin)
thank you so much mate, im new to the army cadets in the uk and wasnt sure about my boots they never looked too good. and this video really helped me and now i pleased and proud of my boots :)
Wow dude.. not trying to be an jerk but your boots look like ass. If I had shown those to my old team leader he would have thrown them down the hallway.
The reason why lighters are a bad idea is because they dry out the leather,they burn your boots invisibly, and the fumes from the polish is very dangerous.
the way I learned how to polish was to clean off boots with a cleanx, take the polish and hold, rub it around, use a rag to spread it, reclean with a cleanx, and rub slowly with a wax rag used on automobiles. my boots get a great shine from it.
i start by melting on about 4 layers of polish before i even start buffing. Then I bust out the Parade Gloss and a little bit of water to bring out the shine. This guy seemed to get good results too though.
my brother is in civil air patrol.

@IZCSRI Wow you guys get promoted SOOOO fast in the CAP :P In the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, we have 8 ranks and you get promoted "every year". So right now I'm a Flight Sergeant and I've been in it for 5 years and I could only guess I would be equivalent to either a CMSgt in your ranks or at the very least an officer rank. You guys do have cool ranks though :P I always get amused to how some of my cadets get a bit scared because they don't know how to sometimes address your ranks :P

@aceflyer89 as long as we work hard at it we Promote Fast and speaking of promotions I'm going to be a C/SMSgt soon this month
IZCSRI 1 year ago
@IZCSRI We work hard too it's just that because we only have 8 ranks we don't promote as fast. If we had 15 (I believe it is) we would promote REALLY fast. So as a SMSgt (we don't say C/FSgt in the RCAC we just say FSgt) are you in charge of a flight or detail or what?

@aceflyer89 Right now I'm the Administrative NCO but we will be having a staff selection soon and I'm going to try for a different Position in the Flight like a First Sergeant or maybe Flight Sergeant (if not them then maybe I'll try to get my old job as Admin)

Pretty helpful tutorial
I did'nt even know they had cadets in America ( Im from England) but there you go.
I'm lazy, so a few hours before our biennial inspection, I just used 'Kiwi instant shine' and got them pretty good. I'd buy some for emergencies.

The reason why lighters are a bad idea is because they dry out the leather,they burn your boots invisibly, and the fumes from the polish is very dangerous.
ShadowDeathBl1tz 2 years ago 2
Yeah, I just use hot water and it seems to work fine.
varanidguy 1 year ago
the way I learned how to polish was to clean off boots with a cleanx, take the polish and hold, rub it around, use a rag to spread it, reclean with a cleanx, and rub slowly with a wax rag used on automobiles. my boots get a great shine from it.

i hated polishing boots in training ... not as much as i hated making a mirror sheen in my parade boots though...
aR3DF0Xa 2 years ago
i start by melting on about 4 layers of polish before i even start buffing. Then I bust out the Parade Gloss and a little bit of water to bring out the shine. This guy seemed to get good results too though.

Don't use a lighter, it cracks the polish and why are you polishing combat boots, thery're met to be blackend, parade boots are met to be shined.
