And is there  a right shampoo to use? I have just been using baby shampoo.

I had a heifer with scurs and we used fingernail polish to make them blacker and more shiny. I'm not sure how well this would work with bigger horns. I have also used shoe polish. I would think that a hoof treatment might work well too since hoof and horn proteins are the same.

Haydog, I believe that you are a beginner so I am going to ask how big are these horns you are worried about polishing?  I suggest you check the rules of your target show because in a lot of cases there are rules banning any steers with horns or scurs over a certain length which in many cases is in the range of two inches.
