Nice results man!!
Did you see a difference between using a normal uv light and a black light? Do you see faster results?

Actually I might know a solution to the drying out of retrobright by adding in an extra ingredient to the mix, but I'll need to experiment with it first. If it goes well I'll make a video.
That would be legit if you could find a way for the retrobright to not dry out without using saran wrap. Please keep us posted with your findings!
I'm not cocky I'm just proud of me.

Just a quick tip for everyone about losing traction.
You can use a find grit sandpaper, around 500 grit or so, and lightly sand the soles of the shoe to restore some traction. Try this at your own risk, of course, but I've done it and it's worked great.

I've used just started to use Retrobright and it works great. Only problem is my solution that i make. I'm not sure if the substance i put on the sneaker is suppose to be the foam when the oxi clean reacts to the peroxide and starch or am i suppose to use the slimy stuff after it all foams up.
Gnarled:
The foam is essentially the slime with little oxygen bubbles, so it doesn't really matter as long as you get it evenly over the surface.
When you use it, do you put a think layer so you cant see the yellow soles or just a little of the retrobright

NO what i did notice was that it didnt dry out as much but I still think the outside is better
have not tried it yet, but it seems like everything should work if done correctly
