QuestionWhy do I need to sand the shoe beforehand?Community AnswerI never used sandpaper on my parade boots, but we would scrape off the existing polish with a spoon to rough it up, giving the new polish something to adhere to. (I only did this when I noticed that shining the boots was not working as well as it used to.)

QuestionDo I do the whole parade shoe when giving a mirror finish?Community AnswerStart with the toe cap, but still shine the rest of it. As it becomes easier to polish, you can even it out on the whole shoe.

QuestionHow do I polish the shoe so it stays polished for ages?Community AnswerKeep adding layers, the more thin layers that are on there, the shinier it will stay. Just make sure that the layers are thin, because thick ones are difficult to shine.
