Personally I love Kiwi products. I bought a pair of Brooks Brother's tan leather riding style boots 28 years ago & used an identical Kiwi horsehair brush & polish  ( Kiwi tan wax polish first, then Melatonin tan for a second coat & finished the job with a good horsehair polishing brush) I also kept up with the heels & soles with my long-time excellent shoemaker. Those boots still look superb. My daughter wanted them, so I gave them to her, but I suspect she may not maintain them quite as well as I did. Bought this polish applicator &  finishing brush, so those Brooks Brother's boots will last another 28 years. Am still not convinced that she's inspired to keep up with the care taking routine, but at least she has the equipment...for the second time!
