Thanks Michael. I really enjoyed watching this. I found using a teaspoon (heated over candle) speeds up the mirror shine process. The non-porous metal doesn't absorb the polish, and the heated spoon really helps to fill the pores of the leather quickly. I also use this method (instead of blow dryer) to repair a cracked mirror shine.

I really appreciate it. I really wasn't sure if enough color would come off to be able to do much with it and didn't know what the leather condition would be underneath but it was in surprisingly great shape. All the scuffing was just in the finish with a nice intact canvas to play with under it all 😁. Please spread the word and share with anyone that would enjoy this! 🙏

@mbshoedoc2 жыл бұрын
I think it all started about 4-5 years ago. I started noticing the nice shoes of my clients and realized I needed to step up my shoe game so started exploring some nicer shoes. Then I realized I had no idea how to take care of them so I got into restorations and shines and later discovered the leather dyes and patina and never looked back.

@@mbshoedoc fantastic! Never know where and when a passion is gonna find you. Never thought I would get into it as well but I really have. Kind of sucks youn right in! I actually enjoy the basic maintenance of shoes, I find it relaxing actually. As far as the bigger projects I don't have the supply inventory and honestly it scares me a bit. I have a pair of Meermin double monks in cognac museum calf that I made an error with some rènomat with and it's made me shy away. I may send you an email with pics and get your opinion on. Basically stripped the finish off the top cap. I used saphir cream polish and let it dry then did my best to lightly brush and shine but they are still not what I want it to look like in the long run. Sorry for the long winded reply 😅.

Beyond amazing as usual, Silly question of the day, you do use Renovateur in almost all your jobs for conditioning. Doesn't the cream polish do kind of the same in terms of nourishing too? Ot what's the difference? :)
@mbshoedoc4 жыл бұрын
I find Renovateur to be more nourishing and better for removing the surface dye after patina. However since then I have switched to bick 4 which is cheaper and works as well. Both of these are neutral as well where cream polish will change the color. I use cream polish sometimes after the conditioning to adjust the color on purpose. Hope that answers your question. 👍

How would you remove dark spots off a shoe this color if your trying to Redye them? I have a pair of AE strands I'm trying to restore and they have dark areas that refuse to lighten
@mbshoedoc4 жыл бұрын
I think I would have to see them to know for sure but typically if there is a stubborn spot you can use the finest steel wool along with acetone to lighten it. Sometimes I will switch to some alcohol for a spot too and that can help depending on if its colored leather or a stain etc.

Howcome the Acemark shoes weren't repaired before you did the patina? The inside of the heel was totally shredded! The heel was worn down! The sole was too!Lovey outcome of your attentions though...
@mbshoedoc3 жыл бұрын
Acemarks sent these to me just to see what I could do with them. I'm not a cobbler so I did what I could. But generally you are absolutely correct. If you were planning to keep these it makes sense to replace the heel liner and re-sole before doing any patina work on them. When I do work on clients shoes I always recommend getting them into solid structural shape before working on the cosmetics .

Always wanted a shoe with a combination of dark green and navy.

I often times don't dilute at all. When I do I dilute with denatured alcohol or even rubbing alcohol works. There are also neutral dyed from Angelus and Saphir made for diluting. The ratio really just depends on the color I want but I often do a 50/50. Hope that helps.
