As a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant, I appreciate the shine this polish gives. Back in the day when we shined our boots, this was the go to polish for a high and durable shine. In my current job as a training developer at a gold mine, I still shine my safety boots and when I found this polish on Amazon I waas thrilled. I have ordered it before and it still gives a good shine. When I am oout and about in the dust and machinery, it keeps a shine. All I have to do is dust my boots off, and lightly touch them up with a little more polish, and my boots are good to go again.
