SAPHIR Cream Surfine Shoe Polish 50 ML

Applied to a pair of battered old motorcycle boots that have been used for everything in terrible conditions. They were a mess. Cleaned with Reno'Mat, then applied Renovateur and, finally the creme surfine.After very little effort, the boots have come up better than new. As another reviewer has said, I don't know yet how long they will last in this condition - I might use the pate de luxe polish on them next time. For now, I am highly impressed, not least since the alternative was probably to throw the boots away.Certainly not cheap but feels like quality. The aroma takes some getting used to although the cats were quite attracted to it.

Perfect for light blue shoes/boots with scuffed surface exposing deeper leather levels. My light blue FitFlop shoes look almost new after using Saphire shoe cream. I am very pleased with my purchase.

High quality, easy to use and a great finish on shoes.

This is a cream rather than a wax. It applies easily enough but I can't see this lasting like wax polish would. lovely pigment though and restored colour to my walking boots really well.

Excellent shoe creme, this is not a standard wax polish, but more liquid in consistency, and could be used to cover scuff marks. I've always used traditional shoe polish on my leather shoes, and buffed them using brushes, but so far, have used standard supermarket polish, and the products from this brand are vastly superior, compared to standard (Kiwi, for example) shoe polish. It's made from all natural ingredients, which I like, it's got a lovely smell, and works really well. I also bought the Pate de Lux from the same brand (but different seller), and according to the maker's instructions, you first apply this Creme, buff and shine, then apply Pate de Lux using a soft cloth, and mixing it with a small amount of water, gradually building up to deep shine. I did apply the Creme first, and buffed using a horsehair brush, before then applying the (harder, more waxy) Pate de Lux, as the boots are new, and I thought it can't hurt to give them a good first treatment to protect the leather. I applied this product using a small, soft brush, left it to dry for a few minutes, then buffed with a horsehair brush, and the results are excellent. In future, I will probably alternate between using this Creme and the Pate de Lux, as this product gives a good shine and very good results on its own. I think the Pate de Lux probably protects leather more efficiently, compared to this, but probably won't want to apply both products every time. I will definitely be buying more of this, when I run out, and highly recommend it if you're looking for a good quality product at reasonable price. If you only want to buy one product, I would recommend this if you're looking to renovate scuffed leather, but the Pate de Lux, if your priority is protecting the leather from water and dirt. Both give a good shine, though, and are both really good products - as I said above, according to the manufacturer, you use both products, this first, then the Pate de Lux, but am sure it was suggested somewhere to alternate between the two products... Another thing to note about this product is that it comes off other things a lot easier than I am used to - I always found it really hard to get shoe polish off my hands before, but this product comes off easily, and it also easy to remove from stainless steel buckles etc, whereas I also always had problems with any buckles etc on shoes/boots getting stained by shoe polish, which I found hard to remove, whereas this product can be removed easily (but think it will still last on leather).

Saphir makes the best shoe care products. Really, there's not much more to add but I'll do that anyway.Saphir produces several types of shoe care products and it's important to understand the differences to avoid confusion. First is your 'shoe cream' (that we have here), then you have your 'wax polish' and then the 'renovator shoe cream/lotion'. The shoe cream generally adds some colour and keeps the leather supple, the wax polish is for the shine and the renovator is used to clean, hydrate and to keep the leather supple. The shoe cream is the product that most people will use most frequently, and this is my go-to product when it comes to maintaining my shoes. I guess my second-most used product is the renovator that moisturizes the leather deeper and keeps it from cracking.The other thing that needs clarification is that Saphir makes two different products ranges; this one, which is called "Creme Surfine", and a second more premium (and costly) product called "Medaille d'Or". For the shoe cream (this product), I honestly don't see any significant difference between the two products, maybe that the premium product feels a bit richer in colour pigment but I can't really point to any difference of significance. This range (creme surfine) also offer more colour options so I tend to primarily buy this but I use both products. You will also find these two product ranges offer wax polish as well, but in this case I do think that the 'Medaille d'Or' products are superior and provides a better finish. Yes Saphir is costlier than other brands such as 'Kiwi' but both your shoes and your wallet will thank you. Once you start using this you'll see that there's more to shoe polish than just the polish.In any case, Saphir makes the best shoe care products and perhaps I should have left it at that.

I thought I would my shoes to a quality polish and I was not disappointed. It goes on easily and really brings your shoes up to a good standard. Apply sparingly.

Excellent shoe cream if you really want to take care of your footwear. Arrived in good time as well. Highly recommended.

Used this to help protect and polish my shoes. Very satisfied with the way it brought out the beauty of my shoes. Seems like it made with very high quality materials. I would definitely buy from this manufacturer in the future.

I love this brand, used the Dark Brown and it made my boots look like new again. I want to try this color next - Medium Tobacco Brown.

Denim color, used in blue leather shoes.

Worked well to cover scuff marks on a very expensive purse

Saphir's shoe polishes are expensive. If you want to get an excellent polish on your shoes without using a lot of the shoe polish, though, the cost for a pair of shoes goes down, and your shoes will look as if they are brand-new and polished by an expert.
