Saphir Crème Cordovan Leather Polish 50ml

Description

The Saphir Cordovan Cream Shoe Polish is an all-natural cream polish. Unlike soft leather creams and polishes, the Cordovan Cream Polish does not contain turpentine (more below). It is formulated especially for the unique requirements of cordovan leathers. One of the unique properties of cordovan leather is a very compressed pore and fiber structure. At the end of tanning, glass bottles are actually used to further compress the leather fibers. The result is a very strong, weather-resistant leather that yields patina which makes cordovan almost instantly recognizable. It is very important in the care of cordovan that the fibers not be allowed to expand. Shoe polishes containing turpentine, which are designed for soft leathers, such as calf skin, can penetrate into the pores of cordovan and cause them to expand, thereby diminishing this unique characteristic to the leather. This is why the Saphir Cordovan Polish specifically does not contain turpentine. These hyper-resistant and flexible leathers require regular maintenance. One is much better off using a proper cordovan polish vs. cream polishes meant for calfskin. Cordovan leather cream is a formula made up of bees wax, solvents, a high concentration of pigments and vegetable oil to penetrate deeper into the leather and to keep it very smooth and oiled. Care instructions: Remove any dust or dirt from the shoe. Spread Saphir's Cordovan Cream on the shoe and gently massage into the leather. Allow the cream to dry for approximately five minutes. Buff off polish with a horsehair brush. Polish with a soft cotton cloth or chamois and one or two drops of water.
