Anybody here NOT use Rub N Buff? I'm having a bad time getting ahold of any, so I decided to go with paint. Except for weathering, there isn't much info that I can dig up on it.
Has anybody tried boot polish for weathering? I've got some left over from my Army days, but its old and dried up, so it probably won't work very well. I'm thinking about getting more, and its cheap and very available.
Also, with shoe polish or wax: use nylon pantyhose to buff up the surface. You can stretch it out and really work it hard over the surface, making lots of friction. I had my parade boots shiny like mirrors. Of course, it looked pretty silly when a bunch of Army guys walked into a store and all bought women's undergarments together that time. (That's probably why I've had the same set for seven years...)
I think wood furniture polish spray also works well to shine up surfaces. This has also been done to Army boots, but it doesn't work very well during drill; I'm told that all the polish comes flying off in large chunks because of all the stomping around.
I guess don't to any parade drill in your Jango suit if you use this stuff
