Good shoe shine in Phnom Penh?

This is a part of our Cambodia forums to chat about anything Cambodia-related. This discussion forum is at the top of our site because it's usually the busiest part of the expat community chatter with random topics on just about everything, including expat life, Khmer politics, Cambodian blogs we have or have come across, or whatever else our members want to discuss. Whether you're an expatriate, tourist, Cambodian or random traveler just passing through South East Asia, you are welcome to talk about anything or start new topics yourselves.

It's important for US Military formations when you want to look like a dill pickle with a shiny black stem.
For combat purposes it's useless.

There's a Hollywood movie-style shoeshine right next door to that place on Riverside that sells automated winders for self-winding watches. The guy has photos on the wall of every shoe he's had the pleasure to know. He'll let you look at them for a buck and a half.
