Buffing Brush
Whenever you are on a budget, inexpensive laminated furnishings can be a fantastic way to decorate without breaking the bank. Unlike in the past, the quality of today's laminated furnishings is really enhanced. While still not as hard-wearing as genuine wood, the finish materials are certainly better than they used to be The general appearance and shine on the solid color pieces is much nicer. In addition, many are nowadays finished with very thin genuine wood veneers.
Still, these pieces can damage easily in spite of their better appearance When damaged, such pieces can be awfully hard to patch up. You can easily damage a pristine piece while installing a new piece of electronic gear. The edges of the finish might strip up or chip away. An otherwise perfectly functional piece of furniture can be instantly ruined by a deep scratch our gouge compliments of the children or dog. That vivid particle board underneath shows through the previously good-looking finish. You can now observe that cheap looking internal material through the laminate finish, Melamine foil or ABS plastic.
Recently, as I was installing a larger, better TV, I personally chipped my black entertainment center from Target. I loved that piece and it happens to be discontinued, so I was pretty disappointed. So I experimented for a while and came up with this really great process that worked out fantastic. So here is my excellent tip for doing simple repairs on low-priced laminated furniture.
1. Use fingernail polish to carefully fill in the scratch, chip or gouge. Use clear nail polish if possible, or otherwise use a color that is closest to the finish on your furnishings, such as black or white. This will fill in the uneven profile of the material and raise it to the level of the finished laminate. Be gentle with this stage as you don't want to get nail polish all over the nearby finish, just inside the damaged area. Use a finger tip to smooth it out as needed. Wearing gloves for this step is a worthy idea. After it dries you can build up the surface by repeating this step once or twice.
2. Then, you finalize the fix using liquid shoe polish that is close to the color of the furnishings.
3. Lightly rub the area with a clean cloth or paper towel once the shoe polish has been permitted to dry for a little. This will merge the top color into the finish color, and again you can repeat steps 2 and 3 until your piece will look almost good as new.
You may also make use of one of those wood stain touch up pens obtainable at any home center as an alternative to the shoe polish. If you do, just start lightly buffing it before it dries fully because when it dries it will not blend in. Give it a try!

how can I remove wax polish from shoes?
I put some Cole Haan wax polish on my smooth leather shoes. The instructions state to let the polish dry, buff off with a brush, and then bring to a shine with a polishing rag. I cannot buff or polish off the wax polish. It is white and won't come off. I buff until my arm is sore. This isn't normal.
I assume that there is a mild solvent you could recommend that won't damage the shoes. Nail polish remover? Paint thinner?
I would email Cole Haan (www.colehaan.com) and see what they suggest. They know what's in their product better than the rest of us.
