SAPHIR NOIRMedaille d’Or Pate De Luxe - Natural Wax Shoe Polish for Leather Shining

Saphir is the best polish one can put on shoes. It penetrates and nourishes the leather. It's the best polish one can purchase. Since I found out about Saphir (about 10 years ago), it's all I use. The polish and shine are only limited by your own technique. They do make a mirror gloss, and it lives up to its name. I only use that on dress shoes. I've purchased Saphir products for family members. They are amazed with the result. I don't think there are any petroleum products in Saphir. This is only the second can I've ordered of this color. I use it on boots to give them that new fresh look. There are many videos on YouTube of people using Saphir.

Saphir costs a little more, but the results are vastly superior to traditional run of the mill show polish brands. I'd always used Kiwi, but they are no longer in business. This applies much more smoothly and moisturizes the leather almost instantly. There is a clear difference in quality. It is worth the extra cost for the dramatically higher quality.

Outstanding,Perfect military spit shine! Two thumbs up.

Kiwi stinks! Yes it works. Lincoln smells nice and works better than Kiwi for a final shine. This polish does both while not overwhelming your smell. A great polish, but you will pay for it.

Amazing Stuff! Way easier than Kiwi!I ran out of Kiwi and was looking to order more but wanted a better shine. I can get boots looking amazing with the mirror gloss from classic Kiwi but I wanted more shine. Some of my boots had over 20 to 30 coats of polish over time before getting a decent shine. (I am expect an incredibly high shine before feeling it is decent) The time spent has been several hours of work. Melt to bring up Oils, apply, water spritz, buff, apply, water, buff, apply, lighter around boot, let set, water, buff. The circle kept going for an hour or two each session to get a shine. With this stuff, it is quick simple and easy! Apply, brush, buff. Three simple steps to bring out an amazing shine. No melting, no lighters, no water. I just put on all three pairs of my boots and they have a better shine than ever.Note: My boots already have a strong foundation on polish.One picture is before and after one coat.

It is probably the best wax made hands down. My only complaint is not a major one, but I will say it: I wish it had more pigments. I purchased the Navy Blue wax and use it for a top layer on black boots. I spread this layer with my fingers and this would normally color my fingers blue, this however left only a nice moisturizing sheen, no visible pigments at all.While I feel it lacked in pigments, it more than made up for it in shine. I always love the natural smell from Saphir products no harsh chemicals here, just natural moisturizers. I totally understand that waxes don't contain much color normally and if you want something with a lot of pigments, you get that with a cream. However with what I am using it for I can't use a navy blue cream, it would be to to much blue. Anyway, this will not keep me from purchasing or using this product again. No matter what, this is the best wax shoe polish ever. Keep in mind though this is the final stage to use when spit shining, for a heavier pigment and to cover scuffs etc. you need a cream. I usually use Tarago though due to the price. It is also a very good cream that seems to also be natural, however I have no proof and that is in another review!Thanks for staying around to the end, Now go ahead and hit the like button! If you want me to review the cream by Saphir just let me know! Or send me a jar! This review by the way is like all my other ones; totally honest and everything was purchased and paid for by me! I never do reviews on items I received for free or discounted. I don't know anything about getting things for free to review. However even if I did, I would still be honest.Anyway, wrapping up I will say that Saphir wax is way way more expensive than a can of Kiwi or Lincoln but it is well worth every penny! Nothing outshines Saphir!

I was not paid for this review. I did not receive the product free. I paid full price. Here’s my honest opinion:I recently splurged on Saphir leather polish after hearing so much about its superior quality, despite its high price tag. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This polish is a game-changer compared to your average polish like Kiwi. It's smoother, smells better, and gives a shine that's simply unmatched.The difference was so noticeable after I watched a few tutorials on a popular YouTube channel that recommended it. Their glowing reviews convinced me to try it, and I'm glad I did. The application process is a breeze—I've started using just my fingers, and the results on my black boots were astounding. They turned super shiny in less time, giving them a professional, sleek look that I hadn't been able to achieve with other products with the same ease and timeliness.While there are multiple waxes out there that can do a decent job, Saphir stands a step above the rest. It’s definitely worth the investment if you're serious about keeping your leather goods in top-notch condition.

I used this polish on my shoes and really liked how it enriched the leather. My only drawback was the shine which I did not obtain but perhaps a second light coat would improve the shine. Overall I really like the polish and now is my go to polish moving forward. Recommend for sure thanks.
