We found this article on USmilitary.about.com regarding Spit Shining and thought I would share it with you.

Spit Shining

Spread a thick layer of paste polish over the leather to be spit shined.

Wrap a soft, clean cloth around your index finger so you have a smooth area on the end of your finger and dip it in water so it is thoroughly wet but not dripping.

Using a small circular motion, buff the dried polish with the wet cloth until a shine starts to develop.

Still using the damp rag on your finger, apply a fine layer of polish in a circular motion and keep on rubbing lightly until a hazy shine develops.

Keeping the rag damp, build up the shine with thin layers of polish applied in circles with light pressure until a glossy shine develops.

When sufficient shine has developed, use a clean, dry, soft cloth to give it a final buff and remove any last haze.
