Is this polish any better or worse than the original black kiwi polish? what i mean is the shine better or easier to attain?

It can be very hard to find except around Military Bases. And yes it shines better than any other paste wax. Once you have many buffed coats built up it’s the best!

flammable ingredients

Yes the shoe polish is flammable, I always ignite it for 3-7 seconds to liquify the polish when shinning my boots. If you choose to ignite the polish be sure to put the the top cap back on it to put it out.

Does anyone know if this can be used on a handbag?

Yes you can use it on your handbag but just make sure you buff it good and don't use too much as it may rub off onto clothing...

Great stuff. Been around for decades.

I'm sorry to see the KIWI brand pass into history. But I was happy to see that parade gloss black is still being made. This stuff has been with me through 4 years in the nation's oldest private military university, 15 years in the Army, a 20 year career in the Fortune 500, and all of my casual life. It works. Fantastic shine in minutes.

It's kiwi polish.. not much more needed to be said

It's a tried and true brand, with a quality that stands the test of time. No, it's not saphir, and no you won't be able to see the piece of broccoli in your teeth from the reflection of your toe box, but it will give you a great shine and that's why the brand has been around for so long. It works, is basically idiot proof, and it's affordable.

Very Good Boot Polish

I have used this size can of black shoe polish to polish black combat boots as needed for over 55 years and actually pushing pretty close to 60. It has been the same good polish forever. I have a very fine shoe brush that brings out a good brush shine once the polish dries. I have spit shine toes and heels if not the whole boot using this stuff. I don’t want anything else so I have never looked to see if they have any wannabe competition. I don’t know any Soldiers who use anything other than Kiwi.

Please get this Now

Please buy this. I used to only use polish to shine my shoes but never again. A spit shine coat of regular polish and a fire shine coat of this stuff will make your shoes shine. Like any other polish it can wear off quickly but that can be fixed with (My shoe shine secret) Expo marker erasing spray as a sealant. Just look at my babies ;-; My low quarters are super shiny and got complemented by my Fellow Officers From now on I will only recommend this parade gloss to new cadets. Can I get a Hurrah!

The standard

It's amazing that this is no longer available in stores when there's no real replacement for it-- this is the standard, and doesn't have any real competitors that I've found
