Buff to a High Shine

Well, having been told Police Officers have to provide their own footwear and bearing in mind that Llanffuglen is in the middle of nowhere the internet seemed the only way to obtain suitable footwear. So Mr Bill spent a long time perusing internet footwear to choose some boots. They arrived and most amazingly they fitted (I told him they wouldn't - 'cos he always tries on loads of shoes before he finds ones that fit!)
Having been told that he would be expected to keep his shoes really, really shiny he has started polishing them. I have been examing the footwear of all policemen I have seen recently - so if you are a Copper and some mad woman has been looking closely at your feet it could have been me - and some of you do not have very shiny shoes. There are several ways to get a high gloss finish and we seem to have settled on a spit and polish type method - just no spit, only water, as apparently it is bad for the shoes.
There are people who are experts at polishing shoes -
some have won competitions
