Salon 40 and Oxyclean mixture.

I am fairly pleased with the results after one treatment (8 hours).

 

[rickyriebel]

^those are looking good. A few more sessions and they will be looking dead stock lol.

 

[fropwns]

Thanks!

Looking good I should have said NOT to use masking tape but 3m painters tape...the sun will heat masking tape up and leave sticky stuff on your shoes...trust me i know from experience lol

99 metallic Vs mesh after

If it does just use a lil goo gone and itll remove it

 

[green rhino123]

to the guys treating the mesh on the 5's...


are any of you gonna be wearing them afterward because i'm curious as to what effect the heat & uv have on midsole stability
that is - do these methods speed up open-cell polyurethane decay?

have always wanted to whiten my '00 5's, but i wear them & wearable is more important to me

 

[genethemarine]

I plan on it..eventually I know theyll pry crumble and need mids replaced

 

[genethemarine]

For people doing there mesh, Im going to try this next week and Ill let ya know results

 

[rickyriebel]

this is going to be my 3rd time using boiling water, the shoe production dates say 2010 I might just give up because the shoes could be too new to use

Ever get that pair of donors apart?

For all of this work, I better wear them.  Maybe take a conservative approach to restoration?

Hey guys just want to know if there is any way to remove what looks like scuff marks on my AJ XI Tuxedo sole... Here's pictures. I've already tried goo gone and acetone anything else?

 

[skep]

Ive seen this so many times recently lol. Ive sen like 20 people with this happen on there Jordan 11 soles. It is from the receipt ink bleeding onto the sole. I still don't know anybody who has gotten it out either. There isn't much else aside from acetone and alcohol that would take it out. You could try using salon care 40

 

[genethemarine]

Maybe this will help...

 

[genethemarine]

Or a graffiti remover??

it's not the receipt. there are guys that got their shoes like that with no receipt in the box.

i believe it's from a batch of molds that had greese on them when they poured the rubber. 

Nike store and FTL receipt has no ink on them anyway, they are thermal papers. that's why you can mark them with your finger nails.
