Effol Effax Boot Polish for Leather Riding Boots
Description
Effol Effax Boot Polish — Glossy, Water-Repellent Shine for Leather Riding Boots
Effol Effax Boot Polish is a leather boot polish with an integrated sponge applicator, made for all kinds of leather riding boots. It is best for riders who want a fast, glossy shine on long boots, jodhpur boots or paddock boots without carrying a separate cloth, brush or applicator to the yard.
Once buffed, the polish leaves the leather noticeably dirt and water repellent, so mud and splashes wipe away easily and boots can be brought back to a shine very quickly between schooling sessions, lessons and competitions.

FAQ
What is Effol Effax Boot Polish used for?
It is used to clean up and shine leather riding boots. The polish is applied with the integrated sponge and buffed to a glossy finish, leaving the leather dirt and water repellent.
Which boots can I use it on?
It is suitable for all kinds of leather riding boots, including long boots, jodhpur boots, paddock boots and leather yard boots. It is for leather only, so it is not intended for rubber or synthetic boots.
Do I need a separate applicator?
No. A sponge is integrated into the product, so you can apply the polish directly. You will only need a soft cloth or brush for the final buffing.
Does it make boots waterproof?
It makes the leather extremely dirt and water repellent, which helps splashes and mud wipe away. It is a care and finishing polish rather than a full waterproofing treatment.
How often should I use it?
As often as your boots need it. Because the leather stays repellent, previously polished boots can be shined up again very quickly, so many riders use it briefly before a lesson or competition.
Should I test it first?
Yes, if you are unsure how your leather will react, apply a small amount to a hidden area first and check the finish before treating the whole boot.
