Sorry for the late response, been hell of busy doing things. Here are my results with my green bean 5'sOriginally Posted by BoutMyMoney333
From experience the soles got dirty VERY easily after I sea glowed them and they seemed to turn yellow even faster afterwards. And it is true that they lose traction, I used to slide all over the damn placeOriginally Posted by JE15306
What side effects does sea glow produce?Originally Posted by BoutMyMoney333
I tried sea glow in the past and dont really like the after effects it leaves on the shoes. Im running with 2 of these 17 watts T8 BulbsExcuse the ignorance but all that I know of is sole separating which can happen with any kind of cleaner as long as the shoe gets hot enough. I've "Heard" that they loose traction, but never experienced it myselfAlso, do those 2 bulbs seem to get the job done? Do you notice the yellowness go away significantly? Sorry for all the questions but I have some shoes that I've been trying to restore for a while and the homemade retr0brite isn't as potent as I thought it would be... Have to put a lot of hours to see big changes.. Here is what I got so far. The spacejams have 3 days of treatment and the foams have received 1 day. But like I said, im using the indoor method so its going to take a little longer to get good results.

armour all, i actually put tire wet on some used OG Black/red 11s and it made them shine so nice but if you use the tire shine just wipe it on wet and then take it off with a dry cloth or towel dont let it sit too long cuz it just doesnt do the PL any good, well thats my experience.

Here's a sample of the powers of retr0brite. This isn't the exact formula for cleaning keyboards, but it does the job.
I just wanted to test out my first batch and the results look delicious P:

did you use the retrobright on the entire shoe? if so what was your process? im interested in the leather cleaning aspects of the solution, i know it does the rubber extremely well but not sure on leather, any help would be great.

I exchange the batch everytime the solution gets dried up and hard. I always want a fresh wet coat of retr0brite so i get maximum effect. Once it's dried up, the hydrogen peroxide has already evaporated so it's no use right?
The main thing you need to start your seaglowing or retr0briting to work is UV rays. they this use to whiten teeth effectively.
So from UV rays, you need the sun or special lamps. I'm positive the air unit became unglued because of the excessive heat that is hitting that area. with heat, melts. So that's why I put my shoes in to rest and cool down.
