Alternative to shoe polish? Help. Black shoes, no polish. Job interview. Help.
Shoe Polish/Care/Deodorizer:
1) Cold Pressed Nut Oil, Olive Oil, Walnut Oil, or Beeswax: Apply oil/wax to leather then buff with a chamois cloth to a shine.
2) Lemon Juice. Good for black or tan leather shoes. Follow by buffing with a soft cloth.
3) Vinegar; Remove water stains on leather by rubbing with a cloth dipped in a vinegar and water solution.
4) Petroleum Jelly. A dab of petroleum jelly rubbed into patent leather gives a glistening shine and prevents cracking in the winter.
5) Vinegar. To shine patent leather, moisten a soft cloth with white vinegar and wipe clean all patent leather articles. The color of the leather may be slightly changed.
6) Art-Gum Eraser and Sandpaper or Emery Board.
Dirt marks on suede can be rubbed out with an art-gum eraser. Then buff very lightly an emery board.
7) Add a shine by polishing it with the inside of a banana peel, then buff.


Good luck!

I was gonna suggest vaseline, or petroleum jelly, but it seems Lori beat me to it! Good luck on the interview! I hope you get the job!

What me3dia said. I used to use a sharpie to clean up dings and scrapes on black work shoes (pumps, loafers, etc.). It doesn't shine them but they look a lot better afterwards.
