    speaking of blind, read his post again,

    As he says clearly, that second picture he posted is only after he cleaned it...the real seaglow picture is a little further down on his post and looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    so in answer to your question, yes you are correct, they are both yellow, but that's because both pics are of the shoes before seaglow...

    btw, when seraching through the island girl products website, I noticed a product called silkenseal:
    www.islandgirlproducts.co...elist.html
    scroll down a bit to see it...

    How does this work in terms of protection? Will it start to crack eventually like people said duraclear would?

    You are correct, it does look less yellow. But if you look at the comparison pictures in the same lighting, the soles are still pretty yellow.

    to end all this shoes will yellow no matter what. I mean even jordan OG's yellow beacsue of the material made with it jordans I-XII yellow in time. if you find OG jordan I's and the bottom is not yelllow that means that the shoe is fake plain and simple

    those pics Nick just posted in the last page....the first pic with the shoe cleaned and the 2nd pic with the shoe clean and sea glow....there isn't much difference between the two. it looks like it cleared up some small spots but overall, the shoe is still pretty yellow.

    ^^^^ to answer your quesions its the powder form of bar keepers friend....you mix it with minimal water to make it a paste...dampen the mesh on the XI then apply the mix as needed...i do have before and after pics...however be careful because if you apply to much water the mesh will start to blacken somewhat

    i bought this stuff yesterday and i've been using it all morning on 1 of my white/red V's. this is not something that will instantly get rid of the yellowing. i am noticing that it will take multiple applications to keep lightening the oxidation. it even says on the bottle that "optical brightening effect is increased both by time allowed for penetration and absorbency of surface."

    all things considered this is the best solution for yellow clear soles. it might not be the instant gratification most are looking for but it's better than having piss yellow soles.:tongue:

    so should you really use a steel wool cloth like the bottle says, cuz wouldn't it mess up the soles? or is there an alternate method?

    i would never recommend using steel wool on the soles. that's too abrasive. the best way is one application at a time. if anyone has a faster way please post!

    as far as the Island Girl Pink goes....same results. They say the sun and heat make it work better, so i'll try again in the summer. but i even baked them in the spray booth at my shop at 180 degrees. my shoes are barely yellow, and it really didnt do anything.
