I was happy with The results. 2 coats were sufficient . I was expecting more of paste/ lotion . The first application I used the gloves you sent and they were too short and I had dye all over my application hand. The second coat I used longer sturdier rubber gloves and had no stains on me! I would use your products again and refer others to do so . Thanks! What should I use to condition the now treated sofa and chair.

I bought the black dye, it works as advertised. A couple passes over the dried compound was suffice to get the depth of color I needed. However, when I received the package, the cap must not be secured properly and some of the dye had leaked out and dried on the bottle. The spillage happened to be right over the information panel of the label.

After using a product on my black plastic trim on my two vehicles, it left white spots that would not come off. I called that company who told me to use rubbing compound or very high grit sandpaper, nothing worked. I was on the internet researching solutions when I saw a video of a woman from Rub and Restore using a black dye on her vehicle trim and it looked awesome. I called Rub and Restore and they told me exactly what to do and I bought a bottle of their black dye. It worked perfectly! After trying a number of things that all failed, this product worked perfectly. This is the second time I used products from Rub and Restore in the last two months with amazing success and results. The first was my two sofas. The people there are extremely helpful and friendly. They’ll spend as much time with you until you have a full understanding of exactly what you need to do. They are truly a 5 star company and produce an amazing product!!

I researched various ways to restore the plastic interior pieces of my Camaro and came across this product. I'm pretty impressed with the coverage. I followed the plastic prep instructions and applied. I'm curious to see how it holds up to the elements mainly the sun exposure. Hoping it lasts better than painting. Very happy! Thank you! I posted pics of before and after.

You probably just need some Clear Prep+Finish to add luster. The colors dry matte.

Ok the black is perfect for those old tired bumpers. Cleaned as per instructions and went on easily, looks better than new! Being a dye is what makes the difference! I've tried everything else to make them look good and this is what made the difference. Rear bumper looks just as good (no pictures)
Reply from lesandre:
Thank you! Nicely done! FYI, our stuff is actually a finish/paint, not a dye (learn the difference between the two here), but it does very well on rubber and older, porous plastics. Harder plastics do better with a plastic primer.

I am completely thrilled with the results of restoring my sectional sofa! First, I received an evaluation from Lesandre. She did not upsell me; in fact, I thought I needed the repair kit and she said I didn't. I ordered it anyway, and she was right. I didn't need it! I called Lesandre to ask a few specific questions. She answered the call immediately and couldn't have been more helpful and gracious. Completing the project was as easy as described. I finished coloring my entire sectional in one day. Then I sealed it one more time the following day. I HIGHLY recommend this product and company to anyone who is interested in saving a piece of furniture. I even used it on an old pair of boots with terrific results! Thank you, Lesandre for your professionalism and kind demeanor! Your customer service and products are exceptional! -Leslie Terry

My cat destroyed my living room set I wasn’t ready to buy a new one so I was looking at other options when I found Rub & restore, read reviews and decided to give it a try I am so glad I did! This product is awesome! I went from 12 years old brown/red ripped couch to brand new black. It took a lot of coats with every coat it look better and better!!! I used clippers to shave cat scratches than patched it with glue where required and used filler in holes, it looked much better even before I applied the color. I am very happy with result and been telling everyone I know about Rub& Restore. For my big couch and big loveseat I used 16 oz of color and 8oz clear. I am not sure yet if I like it since put a clear coat on because it makes very shiny I might have to put an other coat of black over it. Still very happy

Holy leather transformation! That was the most fun DIY project I've done in a long time. Was I skeptical? Yup. Was I blown away. OH YEAH! Not only did the black cover VERY well, it was easy to apply, and basically error-proof. We did take the recliner back off to allow for me to get into the crevices as best I could. Applied two or three coats of the leather Prep and Finish. (Full strength, not cut with the color.) Man, it looks so good!

This is the second time we've used the product and we are true believers. First time was on our family room couch and it worked like magic. This time was on my BMW interior. It looks brand new! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the dispenser/bottle leaks like CRAZY and we had quite a mess on our hands and driveway. Once opened, it would not seal again.
Reply from lesandre:
Thanks for the glowing review, Lynn. And we're sorry about the leaky cap. We chalk it up to manufacturing defect from our bottle supplier. We've experienced this issue before though it is rare and impossible to spot in our bottling process. We can always send you another cap and/or bottle!

Thank you! I just recolored and gave new life to our nothing-wrong leather sofa of 20 yrs. worked great!



I ordered peppercorn. I needed to cut the blue-ish tint down. I was happy with dark gray but in our lighting, it never looked right. So on next coat, I started with black and mixed in peppercorn 2/1.  Then I finished with a glaze mix of same with the conditioner. It did darken it up more than I realized, but I love it.

We are in the business of restoration of structures in historical districts and preservation of furniture and artifacts. Current projects include structures in Ft Worth Texas and Taos New Mexico. Your products have proven to be versatile performers and superior products, and we saved a few hundred dollars for reupholstering with new leather on these two chairs. The end result was better than new leather, inasmuch as the surface condition was renewed while retaining much of the well earned, period appropriate character of the old leather.

Attached are before and after photos of my leather couch that is 32 years old. Its a great couch and very comfortable but the 1980's teal color had to go. Your product worked perfectly. I received it  on Monday  and after 4 coats, I got the results I wanted. I rarely take the time to give this kind of feedback, but I was so happy with the results I had to write. I really liked having the flexibility of being able to adjust the sheen using the gloss sealer. I will spread the word!

There are a couple products out there that appeared to do the same thing as Run 'N Restore so I did my homework. I went with this product as the reviews were AMAZING. Just about every one ranted and raved about how easy and how good the product worked, so I decided I'd give it a go. I ordered the peppercorn as the color chart and pics made it look like it was one step from black. That was not the case. It is definitely a lighter blue gray color. After I did two coats and decided the color wouldn't match the living room (nothing wrong with the actual color, it looked good) I decided to go with black. BUMMER as I had to order and pay for another bottle knowing the first would go to waste but that's life. I wish I could have returned the unused portion for a partial credit. Anyway, I got the black and after 5 coats it turned out GREAT. Exactly what I was looking for. Not a jet black but more like a dark charcoal. NICE color. I am more than satisfied. Followed the instructions and just used an ordinary sponge and that was all it took. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I was ready to buy a new couch and love seat and don't need to do that now. I purchased the larger bottle and still have a quarter bottle left after doing 5 coats on a full size couch and love seat to include the back side. The product is really amazing. Hard to believe these are the same couch and love seat. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

I had high hopes for this product. I was going to dye several chiropractic tables. I tested the product by dyeing 2 vinyl bolsters. It went on easy and covered well. After 2 days of drying time I tested the adhesion by rubbing it with a wet paper towel and also Clorox wipes. With a little rubbing both removed the dye. I certainly cant use it on tables that people will be lying on. Disappointed for sure.

I bought a $400 ottoman with four stools inside of it, and somehow in the store it looked like it matched, but once delivered, it did not. I was devastated. It was very dark brown, and I wanted grey or black. Your product changed it to black, and I couldn't be more thrilled. It was hard to believe how easy it was to do. I used four coats and still have a ton. The round stool is the original brown color. Thank you so much... now it's perfect.

Once I'm finished, my couches will look new, and I bought them used on Craigslist! When I first started, seeing how thinly it went on, I was really worried I'd run out!! I still have at least 1/3 of a 16 oz bottle left, haven't used any of the second 16 oz bottle yet. I think it may just be enough with the one 16 oz bottle.

Hi, it's been a year since my first purchase and I bought more product to update my sofas. I have two big dogs and I let them rough house all they want in the sofas. This gives them an interesting distressed look and people often think it's intentional. I don't mind it so much, but my husband isn't so fond of the look, so I decided it was time to renew them. These were originally waxed aniline, oxblood red. I had trouble with the wax and you ladies helped me figure out how to get the wax off with denatured alcohol so the dye wouldn't flake off. Well that helped quite a bit, but the dogs still managed to wear off a lot of the dye. Now that I updated one and can compare the two, I still like the rough and worn look a little better. But the husband is happy. :-)

I bought a 2018 iM Toyota Corolla. The designers thought the black dashboard would look snazzy with a white lightening bolt. I did not. The upholsterer wanted $430 to take the dash apart and wrap the offending white bolt with black vinyl and put it back together. I said, "No, thanks" and found Rub 'n' Restore. I couldn't be happier with the result. I took it back to the dealership to show them how the iM could look with a little touch up. Next week, I'm going to show the upholsterer, too!

I ordered Rub 'n Restore to change my cream/white leather chair to black. I can't believe the results. It took approximately 15 coats to change from white to black. About three hours total I'd say (the hair dryer makes a huge difference in dry time). The Rub 'n Restore product was very easy to use, and I only used about a quarter of a large bottle, so it does go a very long way. This chair costs around $2,000 new. Now for under $40 it looks just like new. My friends can't believe it is the same chair! Thank you for the great product and how-to video.

I initialy bought filler, black color, and this sealer to try to salvage leather seats in Spanish antique chairs for a Taos rehab project. If successful, I'd save about $700 for a custom leather reupholstering job. not a bad gamble for roughly $60. after refinishing the wood to clean and age appropreate condition, I worked on the leather, and the finished product is MUCH better than new leather. It retains some aged character, but appears all new. the clear sealer was the finishing key.

Afterward I used the clear on a very high quality but neglected leather couch, cushions, and pillows, all really old, dry, dirty, and well used. After a quick cleaning of the surface (409), six coats of clear with an hour dry time between coats, and you'd swear these pieces were just delivered from the King Ranch saddlery and leather works. Maybe saved $5,000 replacement of those beauties.

And then there were the barn boots, ugly but in good condition... like new now with mahogany color and two clear coats.

Keep a quart of clear handy. I completed all the above ob less that 2 quarts, and saved a bundle.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified about dying my leather love seat. I watched the videos, gloved up, and got to it. It really is as easy as the videos imply. I chose Ebony so my coverage was noticeable immediately - by the second go around, the color was lush and I was inspired. After applying the Clear Prep & Finish the luster was evident. The next day, I napped on it - even drooled a bit, and the dye held up! I'm sold on this product and have told everyone - Their initial reaction is always, "You did what?! You dyed your leather love seat?!!" - Yes I did....I can't wait to do it again. This is easily the best product I've come across - ever!

This is my second purchase to touch up the rub n restore project I did last year. We have two used, red, waxed-aniline sofas in fabulous condition, but I wanted black sofas. I purchased black and clear and mixed 3:1 for a slight sheen. First try was a flop -- I didn't get all the wax off, so the dye flaked off on to everything. I was extremely disappointed and so I called to ask for help. We talked it through and the ladies suggested odorless mineral spirits or denatured alcohol. I went with denatured alcohol and water 1:1 to get the Wax off and the adhesion was nearly perfect. The product doesn't soak in to dye or stain the leather -- it only covers over the leather so high-use spots will wear off. We have two big dogs that play on the sofas, and so after a year, about 1/2 the total coverage has worn away. The result in our case looks like intentionally distressed leather. It's easy to use, dries super fast, and makes much more sense than buying a new sofa. I don't worry about the dogs wearing down the color, and I feel like very small investment and time to refresh the color is by far a better solution that getting new furniture. I give the product 4 stars because it is semi-permanent and wears off over time. So while it's a very good Solution and an excellent value, it's not perfect.

It was really scarey experience, knowing so little about dying leather, in ordering the dye over the inter-net because there were so many negative opinions regarding a water base dye adhering to leather and/or vinyl. But decided to order your product anyways based on the positive testimonials on your web site and very,very glad that we did. Following the directions that came with the product and on your web site, the product worked out very well and the results were beyond our expectation.

Coat looks very streaky but it seems to prep the leather for the other coats. It is very fast and we only

Used a half a 8oz bottle. The finshed product looked very professional.

I sent a sample of my sofa to Rub 'n Restore. They analyzed it for free and recommended a 2:1 ratio of Wine and Black rather than paying the extra fee for a custom color. Started the restoration of our sofa on the weekend. I can't believe how it came out. It looks brand new! Glad I found Rub 'n Restore. Great product.

I had two old hunter green leather chairs and 1 old brown sofa. I dyed them black and it was amazing! I have brand new furniture for the cost of 1 bottle of dye. Excellent, excellent product!

Thank you for your excellent product. I had called a leather place to find out how much it would cost to dye a recliner chair from brown to black and I was quoted over $700.!! I was given this chair by my sister who was getting rid of it, so the cost of your product was worth the chance that it didn't work - but it did - beautifully!! Thank you for my new black leather recliner chair. :)

I recently took my cognac leather couch and loveseat and dyed it black. The coverage was awesome and the process was so easy.

We are beyond satisfied with Rub 'n Restore products. We changed our brown 12 foot couch to black and it looks fantastic.

Great product that restored our heavily sun damaged leather cushions to a nice, even black color.

Easy to use. We put 2 thin (thinned with water) coats on the most damaged areas and had a even color in the end. Use the sealer to add a sheen.

I recently refurbished a 2007 MX-5 Miata with scuffed and scratched seats. I looked a several products but went with Rub'nRestore because it was Water based and the application video demonstrated the ease of application. I did necessary prep with simple green and alcohol and the process was very easy. I treated the worst panels and seams let dry. I two coated the entire seats, drying between coats. I let the dye cure as directed, and put on the clear coat. Results were Awesome !!

Several club member will be getting their black back in my garage !!

Used this on my ancient green leather couch and it now looks like a new black couch! Although it does require quite a bit of time to apply (full size couch with many wrinkles) it is great for those who want an affordable product.

We used it to transform a chair from bright red to black. Part of the chair is leather and the other part is vinyl, and the product worked equally well for both and the color is consistent. Easy to apply and dries quickly. After doing the chair we went out of town for two days and by the time we got back it was fully cured. We have been sitting on it daily every since, and it has not rubbed off or smudged. I would recommend this product to anyone.
