Cognac Vinyl & Leather Finish
$16.00 – $70.00
Cognac is a rich saddle or butterscotch color. It is similar to our Mocha but more golden. It is darker than Honey and lighter than Tobacco or Walnut.
Use it like a dye on aniline, full-grain leather and vinyl upholstery to:
- restore appearance;
- condition, seal, and protect.
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.

I’m happy that I found you. Thanks for saving my sofa.
Worked perfectly!!!
If I could give you 10 stars I would.
So easy, and looks incredible.
Amazing product and made in the USA too!
Now I am redoing my headboard!!
I’m so glad I found your product and so is this little guy sitting on his new favorite chair.
I used alcohol, 2-3 coats of cognac / Prep n finish glaze with a faux finish sponge (keep it damp!), dry in between coats, and 2 coats of Prep n finish. The only negative is that the leather felt a little dry after finishing the process. The second clear coat helped. All in all, so happy! My emerald green sofa will be my next project! And minimal to no odor!! The color looks great!!
(Slight color differences in the two photos as one was taken in the morning and one at night.)

I did experience a bit of anxiety because I initially wiped off parts of prior coats each time I tried to add another. I started to worry i didn’t clean it enough, etc (but it’s been a month or so of heavy use and it’s wearing great so ?♀️?). It was completely dry so wasn’t that. In retrospect I think maybe my sponge was too wet—and then not wet enough, LOL. Anyway i switched to pouncing the sponge which worked great AND I found that allowed me to add a bit of... I dunno, subtle variegation or dimension to the color/finish. Happy accident since I think it looks better than having it just one completely even color anyway.
We...More
We used a 16oz and 8oz of cognac dye plus an 8oz of clear prep. We did 5 coats of dye, then a 50/50 with clear prep. It was still shinier than the original so we did a 6th coat of dye only to get the satin effect. There is still plenty of dye and clear prep left for any repairs in the future.The 20 year old dark green leather looks ok in photos but was rather tired close up as we brought up 3 kids who jumped all over it for years on end! It was also too dark for our current home decor. The Cognac looks fabulous and fits very well with our decor.
Many thanks for your helpful suggestions as well as the excellent product.

The cognac dye covered permanent ink, deep head sweat stains and unknown spills. I used the clear prep between coats, with the dye on some coats and alone for the final coat. I did this inside with pets all around, and the dye was pleasure to work with and made no mess while drying quickly.
After going through your website information and videos I was ready to try it and I am SO impressed!
I ordered the desired color, which arrived SO quickly; prepared the chair, as directed; then I chose to pretreat with the Prep & Finish, which turned out to be REALLY helpful as the now pretty 'raw' leather didnt absorb the dye as quickly and I could 'move' it around easier. Finally I added some Prep&Finish to my dye to give the chair more of a satin finish and Voile!! I am SO pleased with how easy the whole process was--took about 4hrs start to finish! And beyond thrilled with the finished product!!! THANK YOU LADIES!!
Wow, just wow. Thanks for great, easy to use product.
It looks like new.
great job LADIES
This really is an above and beyond product. Super easy to use, great price, and fantastic results.

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,
