Pray, thats bout it. lol, nah i dont know. But i got a question of my own, well a couple. I got some cool grey and low xi's (check the sig) im trying toclean the soles of. They were barely worn but u know time kills these shoes. Buy first off, when i clean them with the sea glow, do i wipe the sea glow intothe sole and then put them in the sun? or do i just clean them with the sea glow and then wipe the sea glow totally off and THEN put them in the sun?? Cuz fromwhat i saw i kinda of tells you to do both on page 1. Anybody know?? Also where can i get sea glow besides there website?? any stores have it? Oh yea, andvideos on youtbe demonstrating this??

i don't know how many times i have answered this question. not getting on you but to answer it won't. too harsh of a cleaner for the netting. it willtear it up. use oxyclean for the netting and behind the netting. or use soap and water with a toothbrush. use the oxyclean if it's really yellow or dingyon the netting.

to answer your questions, first clean the soles of the shoes before you decide to apply seaglow. after your done, use either the enclosedsynthetic steel wool or a toothbrush to scrub the seaglow into the soles. leave them out in the sun for a little while. if really yellowed, then apply moreseaglow and repeat the process until you achieved the desired clearness you want. as far as places selling it, if your located in northern ca, tap plasticssells it there. if you're not located in northern ca, check the website for island girl products and it will tell you who sells it around your area. as faras a video, just try to google it and maybe you'll find it. but it isn't that hard of a process to do. once you get comfortable doing it, you'llfeel like an expert.

for the ix's- your choices are to either sand the areas down for a repaint or just keep them the way they are. this is a problem area that isn't solvedeasy.

i've helped so many people on this forum, now it's time for someone to help me out. if anyone who reads this had done a color match for infaredvi's help me out. what colors do you have to mix with the angelus paints to achieve this color shade? i went to home depot today and they told me to bringin a small sample of the color. but what's left of the infareds on mine is very little. i would appreciate it a lot people. and if anyone else has done acolor match for midnight navy, tell me that color mixture also. thanks everyone.

Hey Pimpjobu I was trying to find out the same thing about the infrared,I was looking in the restoration post in sneaker showcase and saw a restoration done ona pair, so I asked what he used this it what he said (down there) I never got around to try it.It seemed strange that it would be red and white but let meKnow if it works out.
I used angelus paint, a mix of red and white, you just have to keep mixing them up till you get the right color. Good luck with that!

so pretty much what you're saying is that the red suede has bleed into the leather. well this is a common problem with xiii's with red dyesuede. nothing you can really do except maybe repaint those areas. sorry man.
