2oz. RIT mix into the pot. Stir until completely dissolved.

Step 2:

Clean the white parts of the
shoe to free the material
from dirt and spots.

b) Wipe off any excess fluids during the process because they can roll off onto toher materials.
c) When you finish the whole step #4 process, you don't have to stop there, repeat multiple times if you want the best results.

would this help on the sides of the rubbed on my old loves & new loves?

[prettythug62494]

@kkmoederlelijk Yes it will.

[montreal961]

If i have a light yellow tint to my white leather shoes, should this method turn them back to factory white?

[prettythug62494]

@montreal961 Sorry but I don't believe it will. It is mainly used to just remove dirt and whiten the shoe to an original white. I have used the RIT method on a pair of OG Concords and it was VERY HARD to remove yellowing on just the mesh. It won't hurt to try it honestly. I just haven't had a pair of shoes with yellowing leather for me to even try this on. LMK how it turns out!

Would this help tumbled leather that has scuffs and creases on it? Because Im going to try them on my Cardinal 7s...

@prettythug62494 Thanks brotha. Do I use the sea glow or retro bright on the rubber of the sole or on the 7's or on the netting of the 4's or both? I am gonna try and I will keep you updated. Appreciate the help man.

[prettythug62494]

@santinomacario I would suggest chemicals that remove yellowing such as seaglow or retro brite. You can make or purchase retro brite from restoremysneakers com. For yellowed mesh, I would recommend Barkeepers Friend which is very simple to use. Mix it with water until is turns into a paste and rub it over your shoes.

Any suggestions on cleaning yellowed mesh and netting on AJ 4's. I am trying to restore the 1999 retro. Also have some 7's with yellowed rubber on front. What can remove that yellow? Thanks bro

[prettythug62494]

People keep asking me the same questions over and over! Everyone wants to know what materials it can clean and to be sure, most name specific shoes! This method will clean:

-Leather

-Canvas

-Mesh

IF YOUR SHOES HAVE THOSE MATERIALS, RIT WILL CLEAN IT! PROBLEM SOLVED!

Thank you!!!
