How Do You Shine And Care For Patent Leather?
Are your patent leather shoes or handbag looking a little worse for wear? If you want to keep the leather supple and shiny, just break out the handy-dandy petroleum jelly and with a little polishing your patent leather will look like new. Step 1 Begin by using a moist, soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust adhering to the patent leather item. Allow item to dry completely. Step 2 Next take a dry, soft cloth and dab in petroleum jelly. Do not use too much. Just a touch will do. Step 3 Rub gently over the entire item, let stand for five minutes and then buff to a high sheen. Step 4 Petroleum jelly will not only keep your patent leather looking shiny like new but it also helps prevents the leather from drying out and cracking.
