Hi Jolanda, we’re sorry the product wasn’t what you were expecting. Mirror Gloss is specifically designed to create a high shine and our product description explains its use on the hard areas of shoes, including “the hard parts of the shoe, tips and stiffener.”

Mirror Gloss can also be used on suitable areas of handbags and wallets, but as these are high contact items, the mirror finish may wear away more quickly than it would on a shoe toe or heel. For general care of bags and other flexible leather goods, we would usually recommend a product such as our Canadian Jacket & Bag Cream.

It is also worth noting that achieving a true mirror shine is an intensive polishing process regardless of the item being polished, it requires multiple thin layers and time to build the desired result. Mirror Gloss is formulated to reduce the time and effort required compared with building the same finish using a traditional wax polish.

We’re always happy to help customers choose the most suitable product and application method for their particular leather item.
