hibsjo(SCO) Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 who uses what? we stock wolly creams and they are quite good aesthetically pleasing on the eye for display purposes and not badly priced for retail. really stuck on what to do for paste polish as im not sold on the cherry blossom although they do have a good range of colours im fed up on not getting kiwi when i order it. Saphir paste tins looks good but the retail price scares me a little time for a reeboot on my sundries this is why im asking carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy9 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cherry blossom for me Joe. A lot of my older customers actually prefer it to Kiwi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k4mrc Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cherry Blossom gets my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBPTerritoryManager Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Get in touch, I'll get you some Cherry Blossom to try - free of charge. We have started shipping some excellent shop displays and shelving as well now - so they look smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cherry blossom for me. Prefer the tins to kiwi. Also made in uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Slightly off topic. Use to stock woly protector, but just really grew to hate the word "velour" instead of suede/ soft leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBPTerritoryManager Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 On the subject of shine I had a lab test compare the standard Cherry Premium Polish against Kiwi's Parade gloss. They were polished equally and Cherry Premium outperformed the Kiwi Parade Gloss, albeit by a very tiny margin. The Cherry Blossom Premium Parade gloss delivered results 50% better than Kiwi's parade gloss. Not sure it's any use, but we supply a lot of the London Shoe Shine booths, they swear by ladies tights to get the final buffed shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 so can you tell me if the paste in the premium tin is different to the one in the poundland tins? carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBPTerritoryManager Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I can't tell you a huge deal about the chemical formulation; I've had it explained to me in detail and they even had me make some Cherry Premium Polish in a lab - but long chain carbon chemistry at 9am on a Monday is just too much! I know they use a lot of the more expensive Carnuba wax in the Cherry Premium Polish, which makes it have less of the solvent smell and is what gives the nice shine when you polish it. But I don't get too involved with the details of Cherry Original range as It's not a brand I manage. Cherry premium of course has a much broader range, including regimental gloss, creams, renovating polish and sprays. Worth remembering that Kiwi sells perfectly well in supermarkets and high st, and that's exactly the same product, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x minit uk Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Kiwi polish is far better than cherry blossom . In my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I found Cherry Blossom dries out much quicker on the shelf than Kiwi due to some tins having loose fitting lids, had to take off loads of tins of the lesser selling colours due to shrinkage!!

k4mrc Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 All i know is if you have an 'opening' order for all there products you get quite a good discount, so I have put one in and also am looking to get more discount next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Kiwi is the best IMO too the only problem is what to do now they have ditched navy, oxblood/burgundy and light tan from the colour range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nothing to with an opinion on polish, but this is on my cupboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisorros Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I have kiwi as it's a brand everyone knows & woly as my main brand of polish. Very good range of colours & good quality. I prefer the woly range as i personally find it looks (& is in my opinion) a better quality product. Also their suede renovating sprays or suede velours as they call them come in a large range of colours as well. Much more than most companies. Tried cherry blossom as i had a problem with getting kiwi for a short period but i wasn't a fan of the product. Plus it's found in the pound shop in town what makes the product look cheap in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Slightly off topic. Use to stock woly protector, but just really grew to hate the word "velour" instead of suede/ soft leather. I hate the word faux......................Also I lost out on 2 sales today for Kiwi Light Tan. ... I had Dasco Light Tan and Kellys (not so light tan more like neutral)... But no ......... Old boy........."I was in the forces, I always use Kiwi Light Tan".............Did my Arkwright bit, couldn't convince him something else would do... TBH Kiwi Mid Tan ain't that far away from Light Tan just gives a slightly richer deeper shine.............I'm rambling. Mike at Vauxhall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northamptonshoemaker Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I agree with the stock in pound land,,, it does destroy the brand I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 "You think you're out, but they try to pull you back in!" Sticking with cherry blossom. Even though my last customer thought it meant all the polishes were a bright cherry red colour. Keep on trying not to give such a minor part of my business so much thought.

Cherry Blossom is just generally cheap, Woly or Saphir all the way for me! keithm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I was going to upgrade to cherry blossom renovating polish, as the premium does not come in a mid brown. However the renovating tins look cheaper and does not come in a neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 However the renovating tins look cheaper and does not come in a neutral. When we're checking stock of polish prior to ordering, I always ask the chap that works for me if we've got any neutral renovating polish left.... Gets him every time!
