I saw this guy winning the world championship. There were three dudes including him at the final, and this guy blew the other two's butt out. Not only in terms of final products, the clothing, the sharp gesture, Mr.Chung surpassed them by far.

Best shoe shiner in the world right there folks 😯

Much respect to you Mr. Chung. Love from Pakistan

Thank you! From Los Angels, California

Yet another reason why Singapore is my favorite city in the world. Like everything Singaporean, shoe shining is completed with the best materials available in the most professional manner possible.

I always thought rubbing alcohol was for removing the finish and cold water was for getting that mirror shine? What purpose does the alcohol provide during the shining process? Shoes look great by the way.

The alcohol should only be used for the mirror shine just use it once the wax liars are dry after a single sitting only use it in the beginning to melt the wax a bit faster then water and wax does just ok

Hi, I'm trying to do this with Kiwi Polish instead of the Sapphir one used by John. I'm aware that I would not be able to replicate the shine because of the difference in quality between both brands but I'm still looking to get a mirrorshine from my Kiwi. Is the alcohol really necessary here or would regular ice water suffice?

@r6854

The alcohol heats the polish. You can get the same shine using kiwi, but it is going to take a lot longer.

It looks like you alternate the mirror gloss with the colored wax, is there a reason for this?

There are no petroleum products in the Saphir cremes and waxes he uses! He can clean his hands with soap and water. If he was polishing black shoes, he might need a nail brush, but no solvents!

Great at shining shoes not so much at tying ties

In circular motion. - rubs back and forth, not in circular motion. In addition it seems no cleaning in the beginning on front of the shoe. All this is an indicator of doing too fast. Sorry.

he can do a better job with his tie

The wax on the vamp area will crack and will form an ugly white substance. Since that area bends, it is not required to put wax on the vamp of the shoes.

Seems like a lot of effort for not much gain. The shoe color made it hard to get a decent shine imo.

I hate watching these guys do this by hand. The repeated exposure to all these toxic chemicals over the years can not be good for you.
