I normally buy the manufacturer's wax polish with a pair of shoes. In practice, for black shoes, I also use Church's shoe cream too.
Allen-Edmonds Premium Shoe Polish--the stuff that comes in a tube. I believe it is the same as Colomil (sp?) and Nordstrom's Synovia.
Kiwi.
Admit it, you were just waiting for this.
Buffalo semen mixed in a ratio of 80:20 with tomato juice
Meltonian shoe cream. I must admit, I am very lazy about maintaining my shoes these days.
G&G (Saphir I believe) and Kiwi renovating polish when required - normally about once a year.

Meltonian; really a cream, not a polish-but every color imaginable.
I would use any polish in an appropriate colour even Parade Gloss for black shoes though some claim it damages shoes. Punch is a cheap brand. I have not seen Cherry Blossom for many a year.
I will admit buying Saphir after seeing it mentioned in forums. It smells nice.
I use Parade Gloss for black and Meltonian for everything else. I occasionally use a neutral wax if I think it needs to be more waterproof. I am not sure if the cream waterproofs as well as the wax cake so I just do it to be safe.
Burgol, Kiwi, Saphir
Creams mostly Saphir (or rebranded Saphir), wax mostly Burgol with a bit of Kiwi or Saphir thrown in (depending on colour or what I can get around here)...
...who makes the 'Alden' labeled creams? I like those...
Safir cream and polish.
I need to find the right shade of orange to keep the soles of my Santoni FAMs in fine trim. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a Tricker's shoe valet case to which I have added some extra polish from Carr & Day & Martin.

Also when I buy new Church's shoes the shop will throw in a suitable Church's polish.
