    This was one of my best decisions ever! The couch looks brand new after a few coats. I ordered both the 16oz and 8oz and have about half of the 16oz left after applying a generous amount all over and underneath of both the couch and love seat. It dries really quickly so it did not take more than a day and it was fun to watch the progress! Came out to a beautiful rich color. IM OBESSED !

    I just purchased your cognac color to change the color on a chair a friend gave me. It turned out so well! I read the reviews on your website and "how to" videos so I felt prepared to tackle this. The product was extremely easy to work with and produced beautiful results thanks to the included instructions. Thank you for the quality product and fantastic resources!

    (Slight color differences in the two photos as one was taken in the morning and one at night.)

    Amazing products and great results! Colors used 2:1 ratio Cognac:Cherrywood and 1:1 Clear:Cognac. Thanks to covid19 my indirect dislike for our very aged leather sofa amplified and instead of spending an exorbitant amount on a brand new leather sofa I came across your products and couldn’t be happier! The couch was inherited from my boyfriends mother and he was very skeptical and initially did not want me to try to tackle this project knowing the couch was pretty far gone and more concerned he would have to get us a new couch if my attempt at fixing it would make it worse.

Thanks to covid19 my indirect dislike for our very aged leather sofa amplified and instead of spending an exorbitant amount on a brand new leather sofa I came across your products and couldn’t be happier! The couch was inherited from my boyfriends mother and he was very skeptical and initially did not want me to try to tackle this project knowing the couch was pretty far gone and more concerned he would have to get us a new couch if my attempt at fixing it would make it worse. So one day I waited until he left for work and I went to work on our sofa. I was able to ratio the colors to match perfectly just by looking through your reviews with photos and learned how to patch, correct and color with your instructional videos. It took me two days with my secret project because of the repairs that needed to be made and time between to dry with the leather filler and patches but thanks to a few well placed decorative pillows and blankets went unnoticed until my project was complete. I only needed to use the color on the bottom cushions and a few other areas like the arm rest which needed to be repaired. The best part is my boyfriend still can’t tell which cushions I didn’t touch! And I have enough color left over for my next secret project - his leather recliner to match our “new” gorgeous leather sofa. Thanks to your products and instructional videos you’ve saved our sofa, our bank account and made my boyfriend a believer!

    Thanks so much for all of your help and advice! We’re really happy with how it turned out using 2 parts Cognac and 1 part Rust and then following with the Clear finish.

    This product and the repair solution has saved me from having to by a new couch. I had holes the size of a walnut and discoloration, you would never know that there was ever an issue!! Amazing products. I wish I would have had a before picture to post, unbelievable the difference.

    This product was incredible and SO easy to use. Gave me exactly what I wanted for my couch. I posted the before and after on my Instagram page and I had SO many responses. People couldn’t believe you could do this to a couch. Thanks for your product! I shared it with everyone who asked :)

    Greta stuff! Didn’t get a great before picture but the end result was great. The couch was a faded/stained yellow color, the cognac dye worked great!

    Took a chance buying some used, high end magenta swivel chairs based on your videos. Super happy—thank you!! 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. Hap...More

    Here are some photos to show you that Rub 'n Restore works beautifully in New Zealand as well as in the USA! We are very happy with the results. 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!

    I really appreciated the instructional videos.

    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.

    My favorite comfy chair is allowed back in the living room after years of being banished to the basement thanks to Rubnrestore Cognac treatment!! Your leather "tonic" is amazing! 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.

And beyond thrilled with the finished product!!! THANK YOU LADIES!!

    I’m somewhat cheap when it comes to furniture. With a baby and cat (and let be real, I’m really messy), I know our furniture will get a lot of wear and tear, so I take FREE furniture whenever I can. We were given a chair and loveseat in a red leather. It’s not my style, so I decided to change it! YALL. I used  Rub ‘n Restore, Inc.  Leather Dye and changed it to a beautiful Cognac color. I dyed both pieces of furniture THIS AFTERNOON. It’s so easy and pretty much foolproof. I still need to buff and shine the nail heads, but c’mon, the difference is crazy.
