Um... My Petty Officer GSM1 would look at me, and give me an un-sat. just because the sight of me rubbing a banana peel on my boot would look slightly…… odd, if he saw me, but It’s a quick thinking idea, I usually have inspections after chow anyways, so I’ll get my daily potassium and a not perfect, but a quick buff… I like it.

Honestly, your comparison photo of normal vs banana polish doesn't convince me of the value of this method. The normal polish seems to do a pretty good job.

I don't think it's meant for daily use but in a pinch. A moment when you need to polish and for some reason have access to a banana(s) but not polish.

Could you show a before picture too?

True, but it is much easier when they are on the same page. Since the photo is already in your gallery, it is very easy to add it to the pictures (You dont neccesarily have to make a new picture with all three on it.

True, but as a server at a high-class restaurant, this is invaluable to me. At any given moment, I definitely have access to bananas and nylon. What I don't have at work, however, is shoe polish. And this isn't a chain restaurant: Scuffed loafers need not apply. :P
