It’s absolute crap , any old soldier expecting a shine forget it go and buy Kiwi or Cherry Blossom and do the job right. As far as I am concerned it’s £20 wasted

It was a very easy product to apply and the results were instantaneous. I tried it on a pair of shoes that were not in a very good condition, but the shine was remarkable

Tin impossible to open

Received the tin of Shinebuddi today but it is proving impossible for anyone to open it, the lid is locked solid & there is no edge to lever against to prise lid upwards. Don’t want to use heat because of possible detrimental effect on contents. Tried asking for advice via email address on receipt but email returned not found. Perhaps you could contact me Chris re order #1107
