Retr0bright Tutorials and Discussion

Will the solution damage or discolor suede?

[quote="Lickkmysole23"]im in a bad spot right now. ive been trying a new method if retrobrighting with the 40% creme at sallys.. i just add oxi-clean and stir it but ive gotten NOOOOOOOOO results at all. did about 10 hours already and going nowhere.[/quote] Use cornstarch instead of Oxy-Clean. Works a lot better. I have an indoor set-up and left my Varsity VI's for 8 hours over night and the difference is like night and day. The day prior i used Oxy-clean and results were minimal

[quote="UDntWntNone"][b]I have tried retrobright today on my Fire Reds and I only seen little results on my soles and no results on the netting at all. Is it the fact that theyre real yellow? I made the formula in the first page and was wondering if there was a better formula to clear up my Vs, especially the netting, more effectively?[/b][/quote] [b]BUMP[/b]

Is this too much? I'm using V40 clear and cornstarch + oxy-clean. [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii611/Ik3kobe/037.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii611/Ik3kobe/038.jpg[/IMG]
