It's important to also use a Stripper (for leather) or a Preparer (for synthetics) to prepare the shoes. Always strip and paint in a well ventilated place and away from carpets. Use a cloth and wet with Stripper. Rub vigorously over leather to remove dirt, polish or oils. For synthetics, Preparer should be rubbed lightly over shoe.
