do you apply this as other polish?? i have heard you must use water??

It’s just what you use after you put cream polish on your shoes, and then you add this for a mirror shine. Drops of water help to bring it out with the amiral gloss. Ice water is better. I would go watch the elegant oxford YouTube channel

I can't find this on their website. How does this compare to the Mirror Gloss?

Mirror Gloss is a much harder wax. This is their second tier wax (blue line) vice their (MDO line.) They have the same base formula so it is a very good alternative and cheaper. Blue line products are just as well as the MDO line, just not as much of the higher end ingredients.

Can I build up layers of Saphir Amiral for protection and then use Saphir Mirror Gloss over the Amiral?

Not an expert, but I get a good gloss just from the Amiral. Don’t know how much more the Mirror Gloss would add.

Is this similar to the medaille d'or mirror gloss but just the lower quality/cheaper version?

Quality is very much the same. You get a great shine with both. Formulation might be different because mirror gloss feels drier out of the can. Amiral comes in a smaller container, so it is cheaper.

Saphir means superior and superb

It was shipped all the way from Japan. Though it is not as hard as medaille d'or. It's hard enough to create a strong shell if applied over the cream wax and finishes to a mirror shine when buffed later. I recommend you guys watch elegant oxford YouTube channel on how to mirror shine the shoes. Remember shoe shining is a craft you learn over a period of time, don't expect to end up with a mirror shine on your first attempt and blame the product if you don't achieve one. So far saphir will always live up to it's name.
