How do I clean leather or vinyl after using Rub ‘n Restore® products?
Cleaning vinyl or leather after a restoration or recoloring is best done with a rag dampened with water. If you must use a cleaner, choose a mild soap, diluted with water. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth, rather than directly on the surface, and use only where needed.
Leather wipes, soaps and other chemicals will gradually degrade the finish, possibly requiring more routine touch-up, so be conservative in your cleaning.
Your leather does not need conditioning after Rub ‘n Restore®, and conditioners may also degrade the finish. More info here.

Is this product water proof? If not, is there a way to protect the finish from spills and stains?

Once cured, it is waterproof and resists most stains and spills. Less is more in cleaning, and some chemicals will degrade the finish, requiring touch-up which is easy. Here is everything you need to know about care and maintenance.

I had fantastic results staining my sofa. Do I need a protective coat over the stain?

We do recommend our Clear Prep+Finish™ or white-labeled satin sealer on reds. Most other colors are fine. Here’s info about care and maintenance.
