How many sessions did you do and how long did you put them outside for?I tried using Salon care 40 on my yellowing kobe 7s, but the shoes came out more yellow when they were done, Can someone help me.
Just put some ice in a ziplock bag and stuff into the toebox, it'll keep the shoe cool while the sole is still saucing up.
I've been putting this off forever. I want to try the 40 crème the only thing stopping me is reading how long you have to do it to get results. I wouldn't be as worried if the soles were already detached like I seen in youtube videos but mine are still on the shoes so I worry about sole separation if I try this. Any advice?
Bringing up an old thread but I never see anyone WIPING OFF THE SAUCE....everytime I've ever done it, a weird white residue stays on the soles even after washing it...just magically pops up after it dries....tips?
I tried Sole Restorer's with natural sunlight on a few different pairs ('06 Fire Red V, '08 white/ice AF1, etc.), and this is the best result I could get on '11 Space Jam SBs.

Went back to Sea Glow boat cleaner, and it's still producing better results.
Unsure if the Sole Restorer crew's methods may/may not be different, but their results when you send in your kicks are far better than my user results.
The best I got them. Pretty damn good, but not full icy restoration.THIS WORK?? I tried all sauces nothing works
Also curious what people are using TODAY. Not 5 years ago. Very few responses on this in the sticky thread that needs to die.I'm bringing this thread back.
Now that I have alot of time Working From Home (Due to Covid) , I want to start unyellowing some kicks I have.
So what "Sole Sauce" you guys using in 2020. Is there any other threads with instructions?
This is what I plan to do:
1- Clean the soles with soap and water
2- Apply Sole sauce around the yellowed parts
3- Cover any exposed areas with tape to prevent dripping
4- Cover with Saran Wrap
5- Put Ice Pack Inside of shoe to prevent glue from heating and separating midsoles
6- Leave outside in Direct SunLight ( I will check every hour, until I see it has dried) I live in TX so there is ALOT of Sun
Step 7 - Bring Inside and wash the soles again with Soap and Water
After all this REPEAT the process until Soles are cleared as Desired.
Am I getting this right? Can you guys post any more tips, links, suggestions?
Hey bro I'm convinced that ALL these sole sauce brands are just salon care 50 repackaged and sold as their special proprietary sauce. I'm not gonna support that. Ever wonder how these ghetto fools came up with a formula? Nah there was no R&D or anything. It's fairly obvious to me now that it's just repackaged salon care 50. And from what I gather the 40 works about the same as 50. So really it comes down to sea glow vs salon care. I got a high powered full spectrum indoor light otw and going to order both sea glow and salon care 40 and do a side by side.I'm bringing this thread back.

the og sea glow? Raleigh restorations ice cream? Salon care 40v? 40v with oxiclean?
We need a real unbiased experiment done. Seems all these youtubers have a vested interest in one or the other.
Watching YouTube vids I get how to apply and everything. We used to think it was the sea glow that needed to be kept off the midsoles to avoid separation but now we know it’s the heat that does it. I’m gonna get an LED full spectrum light and do it indoors. I will use the light for its intended purpose when the circumstances allow so definitely not a waste of money plus they’re only like around $100 and that’s nothing for a veg light compared to the expensive MH lights and ballasts we used to use before LED tech advanced. And the heat from them Jesus. I actually still have 400w MH and two 600w HPS bulbs with reflectors and ballasts but that would generate way too much heat and consume too much electricity. Should have sold it when I stopped using them years ago jokes on me now.
Heat will only be an issue if you use old school HID grow lights. But if you use LED then you’re good. And they’re cheap. I just bought a 1000w equivalent for under $200!! You won’t need to worry at all about the heat ******* up your kicks. I think LEDs put out like 80 degrees heat lol it’s great.LOVE THIS THREAD. NEED MORE 2020 INPUT.
I also am starting to restore shoes with all this time on my hands due to COVID. I have been icing people's shoes with the angelus sauce which works pretty well or playing with Salon 40. The thing with the salon 40 I noticed it kind of overbleached some rubber soles on varsity 6s. So I don't know how I feel about that..Also loss of traction seems to start becoming a thing after longer sessions. Any ideas on how to recover traction? Going to see if salon 40 care + oxi-clean bleach will make a difference.
I do the outdoor method and am interested in creating an indoor method. It seems like heating is an issue when making an ice box and I was wondering if heat issues come with all lights and if a fan is just always necessary in creating an indoor method?
