Saphir Renovating Cream Polish

What an awesome shoe care product. Looks great when applied and buffed up to a mirror shine (with the necessary work to get there) with great ingredients from a world class brand that I trust to look after my shoes and it makes them look a million dollars. Very good at keeping the rain off and a quick buff gets my shoes shiny again in between polishes. Like with any good shoe care routine it does need time to get a mirror shine on the toe cap but in a pinch it works just as well to get my sores looking amazing with a quick application and buff.

Before I start, I just thought I should reiterate what a couple of other reviewers have already stated: THIS IS NOT A STANDARD SHOE CREAM/POLISH! IT IS A SPECIALLY FORMULATED REPAIR CREAM FOR FILLING DEEP MARKS AND SCRATCHES. With that out of the way, I discovered this by accident when, after getting back a pair of resoled boots, I noticed that the deep, unsightly nick, previously on one of the toe boxes (courtesy of a woman’s high heels, as is always the case), had been filled in (albeit somewhat crudely). After making an enquiry, I ordered this to finish the job – the nick was largely covered, but some more of this repair cream needed to be applied to finish the job. With the aid of an old plastic card and some nitrile gloves, I carefully applied the cream over the affected area and left it to dry. Half an hour later, using a cloth, I then applied some Saphir Medaille d'Or Pommadier cream over the same area, applying some firm pressure (and generating sufficient heat) as I went back and forth until the area felt level. Hours later, I returned to the boots and could no longer see even the slightest trace of where the nick used to be. That’s how effective this product is! So, in a nutshell, anyone who’s serious about their leather footwear needs to own at least one tube of this. It’s certainly worth every penny.

Used to repair scuffed heels on sandals. This worked OK once I managed to smooth out the edges.

Great stuff

I badly scuffed the top of the toe on a recently purchased smart black leather men's derby pair of shoes. As the scuff was a series of deep parallel scores , about an inch wide and an inch long on the promenent top of the toe I considered relegating these to 'gardening duty'. Researched on U Tube and thought I would try this product, which apparently contains a filler. This renovating cream has a thick consistency and high black pigmentation. Needed two coats, but I'm amazed to say it did the trick. I'm now proud to wear these smart shoes again with the damage invisible and forgotten. I will now try other Saphir shoe care products to maintain my many pairs of quality leather shoes. As a guide I would only ever buy or recommend leather lined shoes, never textile lined shoes which reflect an inferior quality of manufacture and won't last as long.

This is an amazing product you only need a small amount! I am in the RAF and wear parade shoes and this gives an amazing finish if needed. This is not a cheap product but worth every penny! This is the third time I have purchased.

This cream was able to give a new lease of life to my beloved 10 year old shoes. It's NOT a polish and should not be used as a polish. Put on a latex or nitrile glove that fits tightly and use your finger to smear it and work it into the scuff marks. I find it looks best when you lightly rub the cream and blend it into the area surrounding where it's applied. It takes about 10m - 15m to dry, after which you then use a shoe cream or polish. I strongly recommend using the Saphir Renomat product to remove all polish and shoe cream before applying this product.

I purchased this product to get rid of a few scuffs in a 30cm handbag similar to the one on the side of the product’s box. It worked very well for the purpose and did not affect the texture of the purse in any negative way. It is also very flexible, which is a plus for future use, and the color match was excellent. However, it takes about 10 minutes to dry, and if you are renovating a particularly awkward item you may get the cream on yourself instead of the object. That being said the cream washes off skin easily with soap and water.

Ottimo prodotto, nutre e colora

Je ne m'attendais pas à autant de résultat ! Mes chaussures (de randonnée donc qui ont beaucoup vécu) sont quasi comme neuves alors que cela fait deux ans que je les ai et qu'elles n'ont pas eu d'entretien. La crème a couvert la majorité des petites rayures (évidemment ce n'est pas miraculeux pour les débuts de trous mais ils sont moins visibles) et surtout, la pointe des chaussures qui était toute usée et éclaircie est comme neuve ! Je suis vraiment ravie du résultat. Même si 25ml paraît petit, il suffit d'une petite quantité pour faire les deux chaussures car le produit est bien couvrant (je pense pouvoir l'utiliser une dizaine de fois). Ne pas s'étonner si au début le produit paraît trop vif (ça rendait rouge quand je l'ai appliqué), une fois absorbé et bien séché sur le cuir l'effet diminue. Par contre très déçue de la couleur "fawn" achetée pour une autre paire (voir autre commentaire).

Spedizione rapidissima da parte del negozio , imballaggio ottimo, prodotto fedele alla descrizione.

J'ai un fauteuil à bascule en cuir style chesterfield vert et cette crème très colorée ma permis de redonner une seconde jeunesse à ce fauteuil. Marques estompées, griffures invisibles, comme un coup de baguette magique. J'ai attendu 24h avant de lustrer car le tubes malgré sa petite taille a servi 2 fois pour la totalité de la surface. Lustrage avec un chiffon doux recommandé après pour éviter de se retrouver avec les fesses vertes!!:)) très bon produit!

cirage parfait pour mon canapé en cuir, lui donne une nouvelle vie
