What kind of oil is in a shoe shine sponge?

I think it might be mink oil, don’t quote me on that though.

That’s what I was thinking, @ucme, as well. In that case, probably no.

I mink not.

Mink Oil is used to restore the oils and condition the leather. You get it to buy separately, but the Casual Shoe Shine Sponge has silicone oil and wax in it. I usually toss it and buy new one, refilling would be a mess.

Thanks, @Smitha. Just never seem to have enough oil in them.

Use a banana skin, if it a-peels to you.

Yeah, and risk my shoes getting monkey loved! No thanks!

No, no, that’s if you use gr-apes.

Actually, I think it depends on what type of shine you want. http://www.kiwicare.com/US/Home/

Thanks, @cazzie. I looked at those very products this afternoon at Walmart.
