Keeping Your Boots Shiny

No matter how hard I try I always manage to end up with bits of dust from the ring on my boots by time we line up for judging in classes. Any tips for keeping your boots from picking up the dust?

I keep a tub of baby wipes with aloe in my tack box. The aloe helps make them shiny and the wet wipe gets the dust of pretty well. Probably not the best for regular maintenance as opposed to shining and cleaning but for a quick show fix its never failed.

I've never thought of using baby wipes on my boots. We have a tub and use them for grooming before halter classes and stuff, but never boots. I find using shoe polish sparingly helps keep them from being too "sticky" and attracting as much dust.
