Saphir Pommadier Cream Polish - 75 ml

Saphir Pommadier Cream Polish Medaille d'Or is uniquely formulated to produce a soft matte patina (vs. a wax polish's high-gloss patina) while providing deep nourishment and recoloring.

This cream polish is especially effective at recoloring faded, scratched, or scuffed leather while providing deep nouorishment of the leather to maintain overall leather health and prevent cracking.

The unique formulation of Saphir Medaille d'Or Cream Polish allows the use of a greater variety of waxes (more than seven), shea butter, all-natural pine-based turpentine, and high-quality pigments to make this cream polish the best and most effective you will ever use.

Saphir Renomat Cleaner

Saphir Reno'Mat is a powerful cleaner for stain-removing and in-depth cleaning of the pores of smooth leather, and to remove resin, silicone, and dirt deposits that otherwise would clog or seal leather and lead to cracking.

We especially recommend using Saphir Reno'Mat before transitioning to an all-Saphir routine in order to remove any buildup of silicone, resin, or waxes left by ordinary polishes. (Saphir shoe polishes do not contian any silicones or resins, which are harmful for leather). Once fully removing prior finishes and silicone deposits, Saphir Shoe Polishes are able to deeply penetrate leather to deliver essential nutrients and nourishment. After using, it is important to apply several coats of polish in order to rebuild the protetive wax finish.

How to use:

• Apply using a cotton chamois, rubbing in circular motions.
• Stop once the chamois no longer taking any color or polish
• Remove any residual Renomat with a slightly damp clean chamois

Notes:
Saphir Reno'Mat is incredibly effective. Once prior polishes have been removed, it is important to rebuild the protective wax finish using first Saphir Renovateur (to restore nourishment) and several coats of Saphir Pommadier Cream Polish.

It is not appropriate to use Reno'Mat every time your polish your shoes. Instead, reserve it for extensive cleanings one to three times a year. For more mild cleaning, use Saphir Cleaning Soap 200 ml.

Reno'Mat can be used to remove dried polish from brushes and daubers.
