Thin Mints in the freezer - yes! I too have done Kellybird’s “forbidden land of polish” bannisher, but with a toothbrush. A toothbrush is also used to run leather cleaner in there too, getting the dirt out but good.
If the liniment is that cold, seal it tightly and drop it in a bucket of warm water for a few minutes before you use it.
I have to totally agree with who ever said that old nylons make boots shine. I have a relatively cheap pair of boots but the nylons make them shine like nothing else. I happen to like Vetrolin Shine more than Show Sheen because it makes my chestnut spakle and it smells better than show sheen, and is cheaper too. As for the use of desiten, I agree. It has been used successfully on many horses at the stable I board at. Baby powder also helps get tight boots on when it is like 90 degrees out and it also keeps you from sweating in your boots.
