This kit is something that's nice to have tucked away in your closet for those special occasions. However if you're looking to shine your shoes regularly I'd recommend investing in a better quality kit.

The brush I have no complaints about, it served its purpose well and seems to be of decent quality. 5/5

The polish is decent. It left my shoes with a relatively good shine, but I can't say I was overly impressed. 3/5

The daubers felt cheap and weren't all that great for getting into the nooks and crannies of the leather. Construction felt cheap, but it was sturdy enough so granted I could just be being picky. (to be fair, there's only so much you can expect from something made from plastic and sponge). 4/5

The shine cloth was very disappointing. It left a substantial amount of lint on both pairs of shoes that I polished. To me, that defeats the purpose of buying a specialized cloth in the first place. 1/5.

As for the kit as a whole, I definitely feel like it's aimed more at the beginner, and for $15 there is some credit due. As someone else noted, an instruction manual would really round this product out well as a good first-time kit, or something to send your kid off to college with. Overall I'd say the kit is good, but not great.
