this poroduct WILL NOT un-yellow your clear soles, midsoles, yellow shoes, yellow skin, yellow teeth, etc. based on the pictures that have been posted, it only helps reduce the yellowness a little....which means after you use it, your soles and teeth will still be yellow just not as yellow as before.

it did change the texture of the mesh but the yellow is basically gone. it changed the mesh on the sides too but the side pictures don't so the change as well as i would like.
so, anybody know how to whiten patent leather?

Cadillaczac,
I think the reason your soles barely cleared up is because you placed it in the spray booth. I think if you had put it in natural sunlight like it says, you would have better results.
Also, you used the Island Girl Pink. I think the product that seems to be working for the clearing of the soles is the Sea Glow product.
WANTED:
True Air Max '97 sz 11.5 or 12
I'm looking for these in any condition, used or new.Contact info in profile.

ok, clearly this stuff improves the yellowing. i dno what most of ya'll are talking about, the lighting and all. obviously after sea glow, the shoe is shades lighter. i think somebody needs to try this twice on their shoes. sometimes you have to wash things twice, yaknow? first time might have gotten most of it, but you might need to go again to get the remaining oxidation.

So if Sea Glow can even slightly reverse the effects of oxidation, would it not stand to reason that by applying it to DS clear soles one could slow the yellowing process? I have read other posts by people saying that they will buy a bottle once their soles yellow, but would it not be better to protect them BEFORE they actually yellow? Comments Nick?

^ If you were to put it on DS soles, you would have to place the shoes in the sunlight for Sea Glow to do anything, as the flourescence in it is powered by natural light, so it probably wouldn't be smart to put it on DS soles.

Didn't do jack to my concords & who feels like putting their kicks in the sun anyway? Wouldn't that cause more issues?

it's on the first post.
you make a paste with the powder.
use an old toothbrush or some sort of scrub(toothbrush is the best)
just apply and leave for about 30sec-1min then scrub
rinse off completely with cool water
let air dry

As the inventor of Sea Glow, I thought you all might be interested in how it works, how it should be used, and the precautions you should take. Visit [font color=red]www.islandgirlproducts.com[/font] for more details and to order Sea Glow. Yellowing on the surface of white or clear synthetic rubber is due to surface oxidation and staining, and will be removed by Sea Glow or Island Girl Pink. However, yellowing that goes down deep into the sole is mainly due to the natural slightly yellow color of the rubber that, when new, is corrected by a flourescent "optical brightener", which eventually stops working and HAS to be activated by the small amount in UV in regular daylight. By soaking down into the rubber, the highly flourescent additives in Sea Glow will neutralize the yellowness, but only in the presence of sunlight. Once this has happened, the rubber will stay this way as long as it sees daylight every few days (sort of like a battery being charged). On solid white rubber, the Sea Glow does not need to penetrate very far at all.
I do not know whether Sea Glow will work on the netting of the shoes (probably made of nylon), but you could very carefully test a small area and find out.
On white leather, BE VERY CAREFUL since the coating on leather is sort of related to nail polish and might be removed by undiluted Sea Glow. You could, however, try as a 1:1 mixture with water, wiping off the excess.
Finally, I do not know the quality of the glue used in making sneakers. Although Sea Glow is safe on the glue used in making inflatable boats, the glue used in making sneakers may be different. DO NOT ALLOW SEA GLOW TO SOAK DOWN INTO GLUED SEAMS. JUST USE WATER TO PREVENT THIS OR TO INACTIVATE THE SEA GLOW. In any case, wipe over the surface of the shoes with water when you have finished using the Sea Glow. If you have any questions, or pictures you would like to share with us and others, attach them to an email to [email protected]. We would be glad to give all due credit to the pics if they are of sufficient quality to post on our website.
Some of the Sea Glow will be washed out of the rubber if worn in the rain, we are experimenting with a surface sealant that might be perfect to seal in the good effects of the Sea Glow. Please contact, for more information.[link=[URL]http://www.islandgirlproducts.com[/URL]]www.islandgirlproducts.com[/link]

^ Wow thanks for the info as well as everyone else.
How long do you need to keep the shoes in the sunlight for? Is it something that works in a few minutes, few hours or a few days. I'd be using is on a fairly yellow pair of v's.

Yeah, this thing needs to be stickied. Anyway, from Island Girl's post, it looks like you need to keep the soles in the sunlight for quite a while... days even. I don't know, I'll have to try it on my Concords or something to find out I guess. Great post though.
