Black Vinyl & Leather Finish
$16.00 – $70.00
Black is the most versatile color. Use it to restore color and condition aniline leather, finished leather, vinyl upholstery, rubber and plastics on auto interiors and exteriors, and even shoes, jackets, or purses.
This pigment-rich finish is technically a paint but rubs in naturally like a dye. Use it to:
- conceal stains and fading;
- condition and add UV protection.
It applies easily with a sponge and will not alter the feel. It won’t peel or rub off onto clothing.
Each bottle comes with gloves and stir stick.
Before You Buy
We recommend using a primer before applying to plastic.
Please read about dramatic color changes before undertaking one.
Rub ‘n Restore® products are not recommended for fabric, suede, nubuck or faux (bonded) leather. Learn more about material types or peeling bonded leather.

I will say, it was important to use alcohol and the Flite cleaner to get these filthy chairs prepped. I had previously cleaned them with mild soap, but Flite really picked up so much more! I also used the filler and denim patches that I purchased from Amazon to fill in the bigger tears. I didn't do a professional job here, but it still made a big difference.
When it was time to color, we took the chairs apart, since I didn't want to get black on the original Mustard colored seats. Then I used a foam brush to apply (although that is not recommended). It took about 3 coats to cover the mustard with black.
I used the clear prep + primer alone over the black and it was really sticky after drying. Lesandre advised to mix the color and the clear to remedy. That did the trick.
So in conclusion, the chairs are not perfect (largely due to my inexperience), but what a transformation! Great products for restoring and changing the color of vinyl furniture!
The previous owner told me that there were no scratches, tears, etc, but when we saw it in the daylight that wasn't true. I contacted her about it, but did not get a reply. I then conditioned the sofa (it was so dry!) which helped, but I wasn't quite happy with it.
All of this led me to you. You were so helpful with all of my questions during the process and your wealth of information beforehand was invaluable. I researched many choices, but this is mainly why I went with you- because of your customer service. Having someone to talk to who understands the process, developed the product, and isn't just someone answering questions at a call center helped me make my decision and I honestly am so thankful.
I love, love, love my sofa now. My family loves it too and it looks so expensive! It is the sofa of my dreams and your product made it softer, more beautiful, and it now has the look of a beautiful leather jacket that is perfectly worn-in. It is absolutely stunning.
Your product was so incredibly easy to work with. I was completely astounded at this realization, but you knew this because of your experience with it. Now I am looking for other items I can restore using your product.
I also posted before, during, and after pics on my FB page. Many of my friends asked about it and I gave them your information knowing it is a product I highly recommend.
My husband has a small business- a bespoke cabinet/woodwork business. He started building porch swings in our garage ( 6 years ago), to designing and building huge (jobs) in his own workshop. I am very proud of him and I was able to retire from teaching as a result. I help him and run the house too. We are constantly looking for ways to move forward (in his/our business) and life. I will always look to support and buy from a small business whenever I can. I am so very pleased I purchased from you.
I worked for Nordstrom from 89-02, when it was still small and just starting to expand. My level of customer service that I expect is extremely high due to this experience. You, your customer service, and your product completely exceeded that. Everything was exceptional.
I know this is a very explanation of my experience with your product, but I am just so incredibly pleased with the outcome. Thank you so very much for developing it and, again, all of your help and knowledge too.
It's amazing to see the results I had on my first try at this. When you get future orders from Orlando there is a good chance they are from people that have seen my results.
Best wishes for a great future !

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.

I wanted my bundle inversion table changed from grey to black to match my room....Rub n Restore would do the trick. Looks great. Super product.
Last year my wife used it to refresh our couch and arm chairs and it did a fantastic job of that too.
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.

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.
