View Full Version : Leather coreframes
Anyone have any tips for getting these *****es really shinny. I already ip'd them. Now what i heard mop and glow leaves one hell of a shine. But i have no idea how to apply that. And i want to clear all things up before the possibility of permanently ****ing up my brand new coreframs

:evilgrin: (SOAK)!!! A SMALL SPONGE W/THE MOP&GLOW,ALWAYS WIPE IN THE SAME DIRECTION VERY LIGHTLY,LIKE YOU WOULD WIPE A BABYS AZZ :evilgrin: :iwo:
Mop and glow is a really bad idea for boots or shoes. Chorfams are already shiney as a mirror so just a cloth and your choice of cleaning products; furniture polish, windex, listerine etc. If there is a scuff you can rub it out with duraglit.

:evilgrin: ARE YOU GONNA WEAR THEM OR JUST 4 INSPECTIONS? :evilgrin: :iwo:
Well I am doing an NCO development course so inspection is a big part now they are not mirror like the patent leather they are regular leather. My cpl told me something about mop and glow and pledge and shoe polish to make it mirror shine. I don't want to call and ask because he just had twins and is on leave.

I personally like using the clear gel deodorant. Rub it on, leave it for a few minutes, and then rub it off. Doesn't damage them and leaves a helluva shine.
For Corfam shoes, Pledge makes them glister like no other. I've heard of Windex and other products being used, but Windex has a tendency to eat leather so I would not try it, even on patent leather.

Are we talking about "corfram" plastic shoes, or actual 'leather' shoes, here?
If leather, then anything except shoe polish will screw them up, period.
If they are the 'plastic' corfram, then pledge or some other type of household dusting type cleaner is about the only thing I'd advise using. BTW, if the shoes are scratched or otherwise damaged, dump em, because they can't be fixed.
Actual leather oxford style shoes made by bates.
