The Kiwi Express Leather Shine Sponge has been around for a few years, but since I used mine today, I decided to blog about it. I think it's one of the most fabulous inventions in my lifetime. To polish shoes, you don't need messy polish, or gloves, or rags. All you need is this little sponge. You use it simply by rubbing it on your shoe. And when you're done, you just put the cover back on. Easy, fast, clean. I use mine once every few months and it's always worked great.
Update from the comments: If you're the type to do things "the right way," here's some very detailed instructions on polishing shoes, including the option of lighting the polish on fire (halfway down the page).

If you do a proper job polishing every now and then, which includes applying a bunch of layers of polish, then you can just do a 30-second buff to get rid of scuffs and bring the shine back.
