any tips on dieing soles?
LOL I was about to say; I wouldn't use Armor All on my ride, why would I use it on my Jordans? I use 303 products for my interior and convertible top. They are very good. I see my detail shop sells 303 wipes also. http://www.autogeek.net/303-protectant-wipes.html

Just use caution putting any product like this on the soles of your shoes. It will decrease traction, especially on slick surfaces. I have heard of accidents involving both cars and bikes because of people putting Armor All type products on the treads of their tires instead of just the sidewalls.

You could try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser those work pretty well on most scuffs, but if that doesn't work post a picture so we know exactly what you're talking about.i got a scratch on my mili 4s...how do i got about removing that? scratch scuff.nothing crazy...is that considered nubuck/suede that grey area on the milis?
Used this on a pair of infrared, and varsity red 6s, thinking it could help retore the suede.Can this do any justice to it?

WRONG.
Like Charles, after the dye dries up, it looks like a black ink pen exploded on your shoes, and in the sunlight it has a brown/rust/copper tint.
However i took some lincoln EZ cleaner and went to work on my grails, and for the most part
the ink color came out. and they're definitely jet black and dont shine brown in the sun.

Here you go @johnandrews
I know you're doing that retro 6 respiration, and you need a new midsole. The midsole/outsole is exactly the same as the 6s

WOW 140. Thanks Charles. But ill think il keep looking for a beater pair for half the price haha
So it is fixable by clesncing off the excess? From what ive gathered, all you need to do is apply and let it set. Once it happens, you need to wash it off
Wouldnt have been a problem. When I dyed my concords sole blue (which failed) it got all over the mesh and the phylon midsole. If you wash it out with the quickness it just goes away.I had the same problem, and I also tried washing it off, it still got messy as when I washed it bled onto other places (which were black) but if they were white or any other color the washed off dye would stain/dye it as well :/So it is fixable by clesncing off the excess?

I've been using that, seems to work so far, but it hasn't been that long either.Hello, does anybody know if spraying water - repellent spray on icy soles will help slow down the yellowing process?

So glad this thread is up and running again. This needs to be stickied
I think he means reapplying it after every wear and cleaning...like I'm doing with the armor all.
I did this with the black pair of Infrared 6s. So washing off the excess was a no go.So it is fixable by clesncing off the excess? From what ive gathered, all you need to do is apply and let it set. Once it happens, you need to wash it off

It doesn't stop oxygen, your right, but it provides a layer of protection, not just from water, but just from dirt on the ground in general. Cleaning the soles after every wear and reapplying after they are clean won't stop it completely, but will help slow it down. It seems to work so far.My word still stays. There are other factors beside water that cause yellowing. Water proofing doesn't stop oxygen.
Can I use Lincoln EZ cleaner on the mesh upper to clean before whitening with the RIT?1. I have been trying to do a RIT cleaning on some White/Back XI's but the white nylon upper is still not getting really white. It's not super bad but it has a dingy look to it, someone suggested that I do a deep clean clean then use the RIT. What would be good to use to do a deep cleaning.
2. Just in case, I can't get it right. Can some of you guys who do this type of work, PM me some price quotes?
