The brush is designed to clean dust and debris from the shoe surface prior to polishing, preventing contamination of the applicator and ensuring uniform polish delivery. Both the brush and applicator are modular and independently replaceable, allowing users to maintain hygiene, extend product lifespan, and reduce waste. The main body and cap are ergonomically designed for comfortable handling and portability. During use, the cap is removed for dust cleaning, followed by application of polish using the foam applicator. After use, the cap reseals the applicator for storage, maintaining polish integrity."
