Pâte De Luxe Medaille d’Or – High-Quality Wax Polish

The famous Pâte De Luxe polish combines a refined selection of high-quality oils and natural waxes, including distilled pine resin oil (turpentine spirit), beeswax, carnauba wax, and six other waxes known for their nourishing, protective, softening, and high-gloss properties.

It is one of the most iconic products in the Saphir Médaille d’Or range, specially formulated to achieve the renowned glaçage or mirror shine finish.

The selected pigments offer excellent colouring and penetration properties, while their transparency allows for the creation of a unique patina by applying graduated shades of colour to the leather.

Pâte De Luxe is used by top shoemakers during the final finishing of shoes, and by incorporating it into your own care routine, you significantly contribute to maintaining the excellent appearance and long-lasting protection of your leather footwear.

Suitable Uses:

Pâte De Luxe by Saphir Medaille d’Or is ideal for smooth leather shoes and boots, providing a top-quality, professional-level finish.

Main ingrediens

The formula of the Pâte De Luxe wax polish is based on three main types of natural waxes:

– Animal origin: beeswax, with softening and protective properties
– Vegetable origin: carnauba wax, derived from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree, providing high hardness and natural shine
– Mineral origin: montan wax, known for its durability and depth of finish

Another key ingredient in this exceptional formula is distilled pine resin oil (turpentine spirit), extracted from pine trees in Southern Europe. It thoroughly degreases the leather and enhances the absorption of the waxes. As it evaporates, it leaves behind the rich natural components that protect and impart a unique shine.

Care instructions: 

– Brush the item to remove any dust or dirt.
– Apply a small amount of Pâte De Luxe with a cotton cloth or the special application brush to reach the welts and seams, nourishing this delicate area.
– Massage gently to allow the polish to be absorbed and provide maximum protection to the leather.
– Apply one or two coats of Pâte De Luxe to the entire shoe.
– Let each coat dry for about five minutes before proceeding.
– Gently polish the surface with a natural bristle brush or a wool glove.
– For a high-gloss shine, apply additional coats on the toe cap and heel. Avoid excessive application on the vamp, as frequent bending in this area can cause cracks in the wax layer.

Tips:

1. Prepare the leather
If your shoes are dirty or have accumulated wax, silicone, or resin residues, clean the leather with Reno’Mat Leather Cleaner from the Saphir Beauté du Cuir range.
If you regularly care for your shoes and they are in good condition, we recommend using Renovateur Cream, which moisturizes and gently cleans the leather pores without damaging the patina.

2. Nourishment with Crème 1925
We recommend applying Crème 1925 after using Pâte De Luxe. Crème 1925 contains softer waxes and nourishing shea butter, providing deep hydration and protection.

3. Polishing with Mirror Gloss
To quickly achieve the renowned glaçage or mirror shine, use Mirror Gloss. This product contains naturally harder waxes essential for obtaining a strong, mirror-like shine on leather shoes.
