KIWI Express Shine Sponge, Black, 0.23 oz, Pack of 6

I love this light buffing sponge because it does a great job at giving leather footwear and hand bags a quick pick me up without looking to greasy or getting messy. The o my problem is you really have to use it every other day, because it absorbs pretty quickly.

Had the same problem as the last three reviews all of which gave 1 star reviews; the product did not or or the oil did not dispense through the sponge. I tried pumping the valve under the sponge for 10 minutes without any success. Not wanting to admit defeat I deconstructed the Express Shine sponge and valve to manually apply the solution to the sponge. In my opinion the valve seemed to operate correctly. The solution however seemed to viscous to flow through the open valve to the sponge. I cut the valve off to allow the solution to flow without restriction, yet it still flowed slowly much like honey at room temperature. Eventually I was able to get enough solution on the sponge to shine my shoes. I don't feel the Kiwi Express Shine a bad product, possibly a bad batch. A photo of the date code is attached for reference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how easy KIWI Express Shine Sponge is to use and how little mess there is. It does a quick job in polishing your shoes and making them shine like new! The one draw-back is that the shine doesn't last as long as a normal paste polish; however it is quick and easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great no mess shoe shine. The product come in a compartment attached to a sponge you rub the product on your shoe to shine them and helps with any blemishes to make your shoes look new again. Because its prefilled and fits easily in you hard with the cut out niches, you don't have to worry about the product getting all over you if you use care when applying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe polish did an everyday clean up on my husband's dress shoes. They cleaned up scuff marks and overall made them look nicer. However they added no shine to his shoes. I was disappointed because I was hoping to make them shinier.
