Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply Dr.Martens clear or coloured wax polish as appropriate, using a Dr.Martens shoe brush, (Neutral can be applied to all colours). Allow to dry, then buff vigorously to desired shine using a second clean Dr.Martens shoe brush. (We advise to use 2 brushes per colour, one to add the polish and the second clean dry brush to buff up the leather for the best results). Or add Dr.Martens Wonder Balsam (using the sponge applicator supplied with the product) if a duller look and waxy feel is desired
