Amiral Gloss

Saphir Amiral Gloss

The Saphir Amiral Gloss is a specialised high-shine wax designed to deliver a sharp, mirror-like finish to leather footwear. Formulated with a higher concentration of hard waxes, it is ideal for building a gloss finish on toe caps and heel counters—the areas where a polished shine makes the most impact.

Developed for those who appreciate a well-finished shoe, Amiral Gloss allows you to achieve a refined, professional shine with greater ease and control. It works best when applied in thin layers over a well-prepared surface, helping you build depth and clarity in the finish.

Suitable for use after conditioning and standard polishing, this is the final step for those looking to take their shoe care to the next level.

Made in France, it reflects Saphir’s reputation for producing some of the finest shoe care products available.

Why You’ll Love It:
Because sometimes a standard polish isn’t quite enough—this is where the real shine begins.

Step 1 – Clean the Leather

Start with Saphir Renomat to remove old polish and build-up.
A clean surface is essential for a proper shine.

Step 2 – Nourish the Leather

Apply a Saphir Cream Polish to hydrate and restore colour.
Let it absorb, then lightly brush.

Step 3 – Base Layer (Wax)

Apply a thin layer of Saphir Pate de Luxe Wax.
Buff lightly to create a smooth foundation.

Step 4 – Apply Amiral Gloss

Using a soft cloth, apply a very small amount of Saphir Amiral Gloss to the toe or heel.

Use light circular motions.

Step 5 – Add Water & Build Shine

Add a drop of water and continue polishing in small circles.
Repeat in thin layers — patience is key.

Step 6 – Final Buff

Use a clean cloth or brush to finish.
You’ll see a deep, mirror-like shine develop.
