Interesting, Everyone looking for a cheat to make it easy and not willing to do it right and horror stories and fires. I have spit shined many boots with just kiwi, water and elbow grease. Never had a set of boots have wax melt off in the sun. Never set housing units on fire. ( First Cav late 80's and too many retirement and promotion duties squads at ceremonies to even want to think about. ) Boots spotless and gleamed.
Hot sun and all.
Now if your talking polishing floors with Johnson paste wax and only caught the duty about every three months, yes I have came close to burning up the place. looking for the hot melt and toss and hope it works. :)

Re: Shoe shining
MOJO used the same method I did and still do at times. Baby diaper, Kiwi and elbow grease. Many times I spent part of the evening getting them shinny and then get an alert at 2 am and sent to NTC for 3 weeks with nice shinny boots you just thought you were going to use for road duty the next morning. Royally trash them out, and then get back to garrison and take the same pair of boots and start again. Fun times. :)
