Thanks for the feedback fellas. I went to a local store here in St. Louis on Friday morning, and had a good converstation with the guy who owns the store. I had 3 pairs of shoes that he is going to do a "factory renew" on (2 being Peal & Co. from Brooks Brothers). I bought them when my wife did a brief stint at a sister store and got a 50% discount at Brooks Brothers. As I normally wound't be buying that expensive of a shoe.

The owner was super nice and gave me the rundown on the process he uses. I picked up some Lexol cleaner and conditioner (like the fact that I can use this stuff when detailing as well). Also, picked up some brushes and some polish from Lincold and Angelus. He really likes the LIncoln for it's higher wax content. I bought some edge dressing as well for cleaning up the sides of leather soles. So, instead of detailing my car this weekend, I detailed my shoes. Very similar to exterior detailing as you have to clean, condition and polish/wax. Good times...
