Has anyone tried using this product?

I heard about this product through a style guide and decided to check them out as I have many pairs of shoes and getting them polished regularly adds up in expenses.
After watching the video, I decided to make the plunge and buy.
One bottle/container will polish *supposedly* 500 pairs of shoes.
With international shipping and etc. I bought the Leather care kit (balsam, hi-gloss shine polish, leather cleaner + applicator sponges) for about 45 pounds. Don't remember the pounds to dollar ratio.
I've used the balsam on a couple of pair of shoes so far. I have to say that it does a GREAT job of eliminating scuffs, light dirt, dust, and most importantly nourishing the leather of your shoes to protect it.
I also used it on a sneaker that had some major black scuffs on the white rubber soles. The black scuffs disappeared like magic.
The hi-gloss shine works superbly. I didn't want to see my face in the shoe, so I used it sparingly.
I haven't tried the leather cleaner yet, as its purpose is for heavy duty cleaning. Maybe if I go on a long motorcycle ride, I'll have a use for it.
The only complaint I have about the balsam is that it is difficult to see how much you've put on the applicator sponge. It's hard to know whether I put too much or too little.
All in all, I don't think I'll ever have to get a professional shoe shine again.
