There are only two simple steps to care for patent leather: cleaning and shining.
Cleaning is easily done with a mild soap and a wet cloth or ideally using AQUILA (Urad's gentle leather cleaner).
Some advantages of using AQUILA are to prevent the side effects of chlorine and minerals contained in water and to dissolve any dirt or grease accumulations. This should be done after each use; otherwise this dirt starts attacking the varnish, eventually reducing its shiny finish. At the very least dust should be removed with a dry, but very soft cloth (chamois or shoe shine cloth).
Cleaning the leather as above will go a long way in keeping your patent leather shiny. But applying VERNICE will go the extra mile! This will give it the “red carpet” glow!
VERNICE (pronounced VERNI-TCHEI) can be applied with a soft cloth. Spray and spread the VERNICE evenly and leave to dry. It dries in only a few seconds and there's no need for buffing.
VERNICE is liquid silicon that protects and shines. Another benefit, especially for dance shoes, it lubricates leather and helps prevent scuffs marks and scratches. It will not stay greasy so it can also be used on purses, belts etc..
Do not use grease or Vaseline!! Sure it shines for a few minutes but then, literally a minute later, dust starts sticking to it, it starts looking kind of muddy. There goes the shine, the class and the sex appeal !
