Product Details

Use our water-based finishes to restore and condition:

absorbent aniline and semi-aniline leather,
non-absorbent full-grain or top-grain leather,
and vinyl upholstery.

Our finishes won’t sunfade or backstain like leather dyes. They don't feel plasticky, flake or peel like spray paints.

Do not use on fabric, suede, nubuck, bonded or faux leather.

Store in a temperate, dark place away from children.

See here before changing color!

Changing color is best suited to absorbent leather.

If the material repels water, add cross-linker to the color to boost adhesion. Adding 1 Satin Sealer to 4 parts color also serves this purpose and is needed to seal bright colors.

Thorough cleaning and stress testing the color are critical!

The following are not good candidates and will require touch-up:

changing from red / dark to white / pale;
worn, cracking, scaly or thinning leather;
furniture with lots of wrinkles, folds, deep creases (and therefore stress);
pieces that are heavily used or harshly cleaned (kids, dogs, chemicals);
car or boat upholstery (for these we suggest a heavier urethane coating);
bonded, faux or polyurethane (PU) ‘leather’ which repel all finishes (including their own).

Here's what wear looks like on non-absorbent leather or vinyl:

Our finishes wear naturally, resulting in a distressed look.

Deeper lines or creases receive more stress.

Easy rub-off indicates inadequate cleaning.

The color may flake if applied too thickly and allowed to pool in the grain.

This is easily corrected by thinning the color with alcohol and reapplying.

I have never before found a product I would write a letter about. I purchased Rub n’ Restore a couple of months ago and was quite skeptical. I had it sitting around while I equivocated if it was too good to be true and my sofa was just going to be ruined. Yesterday, I decided, it was time and I mercilessly cleaned the sofa. Today, was time to bite the bullet and start the re-dyeing process. I can not be more pleased!! My sofa went from ready to toss to looking brand new, and it was easy!

I have never before found a product I would write a letter about. I purchased Rub n’ Restore a couple of months ago and was quite skeptical. I had it sitting around while I equivocated if it was too good to be true and my sofa was just going to be ruined. Yesterday, I decided, it was time and I mercilessly cleaned the sofa. Today, was time to bite the bullet and start the re-dyeing process. I can not be more pleased!! My sofa went from ready to toss to looking brand new, and it was easy! I can’t say enough good things about Rub n’ Restore and thank you for such a terrific product!!

History of this sofa…my parents gave us the sofa because when they got it there was a scratch and after the store repaired it, it still was flawed, so they had it reupholstered with pleather (I still call it naugahyde.) The color did not match at all and my Mom covered the back with 2 throws. She couldn’t stand it and bought another Natuzzi leather sectional and gave us this one. Well, we have 5 herding dogs and believe our dogs live with us and are allowed on the sofas, but time and use take their toll. THANK YOU RUB N’ RESTORE!

I admit it...I was skeptical that this product would actually work. BUT, I made a dramatic change from hunter green to beige. It took 12 coats, but it worked beautifully! I applied the product sparingly so as not to experience the cracks that I read would occur if I put it on too heavily. Everyone who has seen the results is in awe! I was quoted $4,500 to recover the vinyl in our boat and I changed it for just one 16 oz bottle of Rub and Restore & the Prep & Finish product! It was easy and the dry time was quick in between each coat. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone! It was easy and it definitely works!

Worked great in covering a few mistery spots. I put on several coats to make sure it was covered and to deepen the color. Pretty amazing !

Six years ago, I purchased a vinyl beige sofa and a lounge chair. I don’t know what happened, but the surfaces of the vinyl began turning green a couple of years ago, even though I had only used mild cleansers to clean the furniture. Visitors to my residence began remarking on the unusual/awful color of my sofa and chair. I tried many methods and couldn’t recapture the original color of this furniture. But the actual physical quality of the furniture was great. The color had deteriorated so badly that I needed to either replace the furniture, at a cost of about $800 or find another solution.

Six years ago, I purchased a vinyl beige sofa and a lounge chair. I don’t know what happened, but the surfaces of the vinyl began turning green a couple of years ago, even though I had only used mild cleansers to clean the furniture. Visitors to my residence began remarking on the unusual/awful color of my sofa and chair. I tried many methods and couldn’t recapture the original color of this furniture. But the actual physical quality of the furniture was great.

The color had deteriorated so badly that I needed to either replace the furniture, at a cost of about $800 or find another solution. So, I searched the internet for a solution and stumbled upon Rub n Restore’s site. I viewed a ‘youtube’ video of your dye being applied to a sofa and thought that, if this is true, it could save me a lot of money.

While being credulous, I ordered your beige dye and applied two coats to both my sofa and chair. Later, I applied one coat of your clear prep. The total time that it took me to restore my furniture, with your products was about 4 hours and the process was easy. I must say that your product was all that you advertised that it would be. My sofa and chair now look like new, when purchased. I must say that all your advertisements/promises for your dye and clear prep products were true. I am very happy and thank you.
