Mix Clear Prep+Finish™ with any color to make a more transparent glaze and use for:
- priming absorbent aniline or top-grain leather;
- printing, marbling or burnishing to create a distressed or antiqued appearance;
- or for a satin or semi-gloss finish.
Use alone for a glossy finish (leather only). Do not use if you desire a matte finish.
NOTE: Mixing Clear Prep+Finish™ into colors that contain a lot of yellow, red, blue or green pigment (Buckskin, Butterscotch, Camel, Cognac, Mustard, Chocolate, Brick, Rust, Cherrywood, Red Chili, Wine, Plum, Midnight Blue, Storm Blue, Lagoon, Sea Foam and Pine) may result in a more vivid hue than simply using Clear Prep+Finish™ alone as a topcoat.
Do not use as a topcoat on vinyl or on any fabric, suede, nubuck, bonded or faux leather. Store at room temperature.Click here for SDS (Safety Data Sheet).
can't wait to try the color after I return it for a darker grey.
It had to be yet another too-good-to-be-true product, but I was intrigued. It wasn't expensive, and seemed not to require any equipment, so I took a chance and ordered some. I figured it wouldn't really work, or would quickly peel or something like that, but I was going to throw the couch away anyway, so what the heck.
I was - and am - amazed. Our couch literally looks brand new. What had been a sad, parched, sun-bleached couch is now completely restored - beautiful, supple, sumptuous. And the great thing is it worked exactly as advertised (how often does that happen?). It takes technique, which you learn quickly, but not the kind of skill (such as with spray guns and dyes) that takes much longer to acquire - and yet it still looks like it's been professionally restored.
If you're even thinking of restoring a piece of furniture, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to get Rub 'N Restore. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for a product that really works.
I don't have any before photos, but the $115.00 we spent on two bottles of dye and one bottle of clear coat has successfully restored two couches, that I believe are valued at over $2000.00!
These couches had ink, wine, and dog urine stains that we thought had rendered the furniture unsavable. They were faded, cracked, dry and ugly. Frankly, my wife and I were embarrassed to have guests see them.
After six coats of cognac, and one coat of clear coat, they look like new! We have dye and clear coat left over for future patchwork because of the dogs and sun damage from the window.
I will recommend Rub N Restore to anyone who desires to resurrect their leather furniture.
Thanks again.
I won't repeat the snickering comments from my co-workers when I brought the couch into my workplace, but let's just say that it looked even WORSE in our flourescent lighting, and my office is a place of no-holds-barred teasing when warranted...and they let loose on me (and my poor little couch) with a vengence!
I had some idea that I could stain it if it wouldn't come clean (which, of course it wouldn't, even after serious scrubbing) but wasn't sure what to use. A search on the internet brought me to your youtube video, and thence to your website where with hope in my heart I purchased the Espresso color and the Clear Prep - Finish.
Application was a breeze, goof-proof to say the least! We have two dogs in our office and even without the topcoat they barely made a scratch in the color after 6 coats (and when they did I just touched it up). It is a beautiful couch now and I can't tell you how pleased I am that it has been "Rubbed and Restored".
A picture is worth a thousand words, you can see the results with & without the top coat. It is FABULOUS! Everyone in my office is eating their words and asking about your product. They are all just AMAZED at the transformation and I will be singing your praises for all time!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Buy thier product's they work!!!!
