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

There is a sponge applicator with liquid in a well behind it, by pressing it is supposed to release liquid into sponge, hydrating brown pigment on sponge to release it. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work. The directions are inadequate. I do not recommend this product. I'm sure there are other products that work much better.

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 haven't used shoe shine in a very long time. This shoe shine was very easy to use. It's al ready prefilled so no messes. It does what it's suppose to do which is giving shoes a nice clean shine. The price is also very reasonable.

[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.
