anybody order from them before/lately? can i get some reviews on this product?
I've been making my own retr0brite also with 3% hydrogen peroxide too. Have you tried both? Just curious myself because I do have to put in some time before I see noticeable results on my 5's. and if this "Sauce" worked faster then it would be greatOriginally Posted by rcjbbp1313

dont order it from them, google retrobrite and make it yourself, hydrogen peroxide, corn starch and oxyclean. mix some peroxide in a bowl with the corn starch and then heat it until its almost a paste and is warm and when you're ready to apply add the oxy and mix it up then apply to the shoe, once it hardens go ahead and wash it off and apply again until desired results. be careful on how hot it gets in your area because if it gets too hot your shoe will seperate wherever it is glued, i am in florida and have this problem until i put a fan blowing on the shoes with a bowl of ice behind the fan and havent had any problems after that.... good luck!
What percentage was it? Was there a significant difference between this and the standard 3%? Just trying to get more info on this before I get it you know. Found food grade Hydrogen Peroxide at Amazon for like $40 for 16 0z. Seems a bit pricey though but if it'll save time it would be worth it.Originally Posted by rcjbbp1313
ok yes i have tried 40 volume hair bleach which is high percenage hydrogen peroxide and it does work better for not too bad of a price, just check your local sallys or any salon product store. it comes either clear or with other stuff in it, i tried the clear one and next time i might try the white one but either way yeah i got better results with the higher % peroxide

so retrobite alot better than seaglow? if i used seaglow first and then used retrobite would there be any side effects? Is there anyway retrobite can put a slight blue tint on the sole like seaglow + UV lights? Sorry for all the questions.Originally Posted by rcjbbp1313

Bleach??! Isnt that going to eff up the shoes? Someone who used bleach to clear up their clear soles said that it was only a temp fix. It also yellowing faster and worser.

no its for bleaching hair but its hydrogen peroxide, 12 %! ,and oh yeah ive been using the 40 volume hair bleach with the other stuff in it ,not the clear, which makes it thicker. Using this instead of the clear volume bleach allows you to skip adding the corn starch and just heat up the 40 volume for like 15 seconds in the microwave then add your oxyclean stir and apply! much easier with better results, i hope this helps everyone. this also makes the rubber turn white faster.
