^^^^ It can be VERY reactive when adding too much oxi. If u are to use 1 cup of 40 volume, I would say to use about a half a spoonful or less of oxi. I usually just add very little at a time until I get the consistency that I am aiming for. Also remember that it doesn't react instantly, so you may need to wait before you add any extra oxi to the solution.

[quote="CameNyoGrill"]Traction loss comes from UV exposure, period. It is inevitable if you are clearing your soles. My recommendation that I've said before is just to take a high grit sandpaper and lightly scuff the sole bottoms to give you a little bit of traction back; worked perfectly on my XI jams.[/quote] it is that simple '/? sandpaper the soles = a lil bit traction back what kind of grit

Each session was about 45 min to an hour. I will post more results as I get them.

[b]Help! Ive been using retrobright on my Fire Red Vs for quite sometime now. Ive seen great results from the soles but not the netting. Unfortunately, the netting looks piss yellow and looking to clear it up. If anyone has better formula other than the standard retrobright formula in the first page that clears off the netting fast please lmk! Example: From this.[/b] [img]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f265/jlbj90/IMG_7760_lr.jpg[/img] [b]To this.[/b] [img]http://corgishoe.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/shoes-926.jpg[/img] [b]P.S. These are not my flicks, also the netting on my Fire Reds are yellower than the first pic.[/b]

I wanted to retrobright some foams & my infrared 6s. Is it always necessary to cover the traction areas? For example, if I only left them outside for an hour in morning when the temperature is low, would I be ok?
