Product Insights
Walter's Leather Polishing Set (20 CAD, in stock) delivers a high-gloss, water-repellent, and scuff-resistant finish through buffing solid wax with the included horsehair brush and cloth. Layering neutral then black wax yields a richer, professional-looking shine, while the neutral wax protects any leather color without darkening. The main tradeoff is that this method takes more time than liquid polish but provides a superior, durable gloss. Regular cleaning of the horsehair brush with mild soap maintains its effectiveness.
