Angelus Shoe Wax Polish

Angelus Shoe Wax protects and preserves. Each formula blends natural carnauba and beeswax to give your leather a bold, high-gloss finish while sealing out moisture and everyday scuffs. Here’s what makes our shoe wax stand out:

• Superior Shine: Carnauba wax hardens to a glossy shell, giving your shoes a crisp, mirror-like polish. This is ideal for everything from formal wear to fresh customs.

• Water Resistance: The hardened wax layer repels moisture, helping to keep leather from staining, drying, or cracking in wet conditions.

• Scuff & Scratch Protection: The wax barrier helps reduce the appearance of small scuffs and keeps everyday wear from damaging the surface.

• Leather Nourishment: Beeswax conditions and softens the surface, helping leather maintain its flexibility and natural oils over time.

• Paint-Compatible Finish: Working on a custom sneaker or leather art project? Our wax plays nicely with Angelus Paints and Acrylic Finishers, sealing in your hard work without smudging or dulling your color.

Whether you're polishing up a new pair or breathing new life into your go-tos, Angelus Shoe Wax makes sure your leather looks better and lasts longer.

Angelus Shoe Wax is made from a professional-grade blend of natural carnauba wax, beeswax, and petroleum-based solvents. 

That said, this product is flammable and should be used with care. Always follow SDS recommendations:

• Work in a well-ventilated space

• Avoid direct inhalation of vapors

• Use gloves or protective equipment as needed

• Keep out of reach of children and store away from heat or flame.

If it’s your first time using shoe wax or your first time using ours, don’t worry. Here's how to apply Angelus Shoe Wax like a pro:

1. Prep the Surface: Start with clean, dry leather. For best results, use Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer to strip away old polish, dirt, and factory finishes. This ensures the wax adheres evenly and shines brighter.

2. Apply the Wax: Use a soft cloth or applicator brush to scoop up a small amount of wax. A little goes a long way. Massage a thin, even layer into the leather using small circular motions.

3. Let It Dry: Allow the wax to sit for 5–10 minutes. This gives time for the solvents to evaporate and the wax to set into a hard shell.

4. Buff to Shine: Use a horsehair brush or clean cloth to buff the surface. Apply light pressure and quick strokes for a natural shine, or keep going for a full mirror finish.

5. Layer if Needed: For a deeper shine and better protection, add a second coat after buffing the first. Just repeat the same process.

Waxing your shoes is just one part of the care routine. 

To truly protect and preserve your footwear, follow a complete care regimen that includes cleaning, conditioning, prepping, and finishing. 

Interior Shoe Care

Shiny leather is great, but don’t forget about what’s going on inside your shoes. To keep your footwear in shape, add shoe trees to your care routine. 

These simple inserts help maintain the shoe’s shape, absorb moisture after each wear, and prevent creasing or collapse over time. 

Just slide them in as soon as you take off your shoes and leave them overnight. This easy step can make a big difference in extending the life of your favorite pairs.

Sole Maintenance

Taking care of your soles is just as important as polishing the leather up top. 

To keep things looking sharp, start by touching up worn edges with Angelus Sole & Heel Dressing. This product restores that deep black finish and gives dress shoes or restored pairs a clean, professional look. 

If you have yellowed or oxidized soles, especially on sneakers, reach for Angelus Sole Bright. It’s specifically formulated to lift oxidation and restore that icy white appearance.

Once you've cleaned and polished, seal in your work with a layer of water and stain repellent.
