Are you going for high shine? Or just polished?
In any case drop the Parade Gloss, and stick to plain old black Kiwi. Others will say Lincoln, but I've never used it.
Regardless of what type of shine your going for you need a good "base."
What I always did was to thoroughly brush off all dust, dirt, etc. Then use saddle soap if needed. The re-dye with Kiwi leather dye. (The saddle soap and dye can be avoided if leather is clean.)
Using a new white cotton t-shirt (cut into about 6"x6" squares) stretched apply wax and using a circular motion wax into boot. Continue until it looks like there is no wax on the boot. Repeat.
After wax is worked into the leather you can then brush shine the boot and it will shine enough to look decent. Or you can spit shine to "black glass" status.
Like I said ditch the Parade Gloss, IMO experience it was too hard to really be worked into the leather.
