After 30 years British Army and 5 years prior as an Air Cadet I can see that you all are/have done a great job on "Bulling your Boots" but theres just a wee couple of finishing touches that will bring a good pair of bulled boots to an excellent pair!
1. Just at the end of your bulling session have a tin of Kiwi - Ox blood polish and bull with that one in every 8 of the Kiwi Black, this produces a really deep shine.
2. Once you've finished and "think" your done it's time to "Water Bull" take a piece of cotton wool and run the cold water tap to an even stady flow then place the toecap of your boot/shoe under the running water and with the wet piece of cotton wool "Bull" your toecap in the same small circles as normal after you've done this shake off the loose water and wring out the cotton wool. Use the same cotton wool todap off any loose droplets of water and leave to dry. You should now have a gleaming pair of bulled boots with NO smear marks.
