Developed specially for the US Military but now available in the UK! Never bull your toe caps again with Shape Up Instant. Shape Up gives a long lasting, mirror-like finish to your black parade shoes or boots. The plastic polymer finish won't crack or peel on stiffened leather such as toecaps and heels, or beeswaxed leather and does not require rubbing or brushing. Simple to apply, dries in minutes. Unlike lacquer finishes, Shape Up doesn't damage leather and can be easily removed using a soft cloth with either methylated spirit or an acetone-based spirit (e.g. nail varnish remover). Size: supplied in 48 ml bottle with applicator. Colour: black.

It dries unevenly and the instructions could be clearer. Practice required.

Cadet Direct: Tried & Tested Spring 2017
Unverified Reviewer
We decided to put six leading instant bulling products to the test to see which product is the best all round performer. Our expert tester began by brush polishing each shoe/boot before applying a single application of each product to the toecap. Shape Up was voted the third best out of the six products and gave a good finish which could be improved by adding more layers. It was easy to apply and dried quickly - but remember not to shake the product as this introduces bubbles. Shape Up doesn't contain solvents so can be purchased by under 18's.

If you shake the bottle you'll get bubbles so you have to make sure there are none before you layer it on. Finish was good on my shoes.

Very pleased with this product and easy to apply although I did remove first coat as I shook the bottle up which creates bubbles so don't shake it before use!

Shape up is brilliant. Purchased this with some Ultra shine. I had tried everything else to make my parade shoes look good but this is by far the best.
