Shoe Polish - Ideal Home Exhibition - before 2014

in Old style MoneySaving
I bought a kind of silicon wax which brought back the colour to black shoes. I lost mine and after seeing it at numerous Ideal Home Exhibitions it has not been on sale for the past couple of years. Does anyone have any idea of what the brand was? It lasted for ages so hopefully someone still has some.

Thanks

    Could it have been Renapur?

    I think it may have been Renapur too. It comes in a white tub, looks like beeswax and renews the colour to any colour leather.
    I still have some - I bought two tubs from a show a long time ago. Is it still made?

    They were at the Ideal Home this year.
    I bought some years ago - if you apply too often the leather looses its waterproofness ( if there is such a word!)
