The colored wax is applied to the brush or cloth disc of
the polishing machine. The hardness of the wax is adjusted to the speed of
modern polishing machines so that the wax neither splatters nor smears. The shoe
or workpiece is first held a little more firmly against the disc and then a
little more lightly at the end. This achieves an optimal high
gloss.
The colored wax can also be applied without a
machine.
To do this, for example, gently heat an awl and use it to
apply the wax to the damaged area. Then rub smooth with a bone or
cloth.
