Thanks and what's the consensus Bar Keeper's Freind or RIT? And thinking BKF as a last resort, I think it might be OK as long as it's fully removed from the material, afterwards. Any thoughts?

I've heard it really works well. I use RIT personally, but if it's not working for you bar keepers friend would be my next step,

Your going to have to rip it off.
You can find flight 89's on sale or other nikes that have the same midsole for a donor pair

in everything that i have seen/read from using it on soles and using it to take the yellow off of plastics (computer application) you have to have some kind of UV light but what i heard is that oxyclean mixed with water makes hydrogen peroxide so you dont NEED to add any hydrogen peroxide to any mix unless you want to boost the % to a crazy amount, im still in the works of trying a different method to see if it works and i will update this thread with my findings once i am happy with the results

Working on my own Retrobrite formula
Got some Oly VI's cooking.
Current ingredients are;
Super Degreasing Dish soap
Oxy Clean
Witch Hazel
Made a nice yellow paste, they are currently under a light with the plastic wrap and aluminum foil. The whole works.
Will see how it goes in an hour
EDIT - Whitening toothpaste does a wonder on clear soles. (Im experimenting right now)
I just brushed my green beans with colgate optic white since the tube was almost out. It got 2x clearer.

The new formula of retrobrite took off a few stains. It looks like it will take a few sessions to fully remove yellowing, but it works.
Lincoln EZ cleaner should do well on them.

If it's a scuff or on the surface Mr. Clean Magic Easier should work just rub lightly and not hard enough to cause another scratch or tear the material.

Repped. Thank you very much. Is mr clean magic eraser safe to use though? I will try to rub lightly but it's not something that will significantly hard the material even more right?

this is definitely not in your favor as those 99's are fake. trust me don't do it. also @sir charles, thanks for the tip on the dye not bleeding into other material when rinsing, I'll give this a shot on beaters and see what happens.
