    I would not use the cloth that people use to clean silver, We got parades going on and I had to bull boots.

    thankfully there is a military surplus store where we are and they sell silvette cloath.

    dont use the jewellery stuff it leaves a dull bull!

    I went to a jewellers and bought one then found exactly the same cloth in Tesco for half the price and the jewellers don't give clubcard points!

    Tesco's is the place!

    I find them a little harsh as a cloth, they can scratch your boots, would suggest putting them through the washing machine a couple of times first..

    But really they are no better than a yellow cloth

    Download this and there is a hyperlink in the document to a good cheap site.
    The Butlers guide to shiny shoes<<<click
    In the past yellow dusters were a good enough quality (thicker nap) to be a decent bulling diddly but as with supermarket bags, they got thinner & cheaper. A well broken in silvette (selvyt) can achieve a deeper shine by reducing the micro scratches in the surface of your boot.
