Shape Up Instant

I decided to test this against my Granddad (an ex Coldstream Guard) in an attempt to see which is better. I used the Shape Up, and he used good old fashioned spit and polish.

I am sad to say, however, that when we compared the next day, spit and polish was victorious. Although the shine given was good, it wasn't anywhere near as good as regular bulling.

As a result, I believe that Shape Up is useful when you're in those "Oh good lord I'm on parade in an hour and my boots are filthy" sort of situations, rather than using them for Inspection or Special Parades. It will provide a decent enough finish, but not perfect.
