I used the shoe polish, however I think I took too much off, I should of put some off, lightly buffed it off and then put another coat on and left it.
Live and learn.
shoe polish works great, just don't buff it off? just use a q-tip and cover everything that needs the release agent on it. i have only ever used one coat but you could always wait a couple hours till the polish dries then put another coat on.
