    The results of my color analysis was very close. Instructions were explicit and easy to follow!

    I restored the leather seats in our 2004 Hyundai XG350L. Your color match was right on and exact. Perfect! Rub 'n Restore was easy to use and the front seats look nearly brand new and are a perfect match to the rear seat in color and texture. The rear seat has hardly ever been used and is in like new condition. This car, which we've had since new, currently has more than 372,000 miles on it and is used daily as a commuter vehicle into Los Angeles. Fantastic stuff! Thanks so much!

    This product works great It Is smooth on my sofa, I was not able to get an exact color match even supplying my swatch it looked good on swatch but on a larger area was too light. Never the less this is a great product

    Our "Diva" Dog did a number on our leather loveseat...lots of scratch marks. It was fairly new and expensive and we wished to repair it, but could not find the right product. Rub N Restore provided excellent products and support to repair and restore our loveseat. It really looks like new. Thanks.

    Got it, applied it as per directions and am very happy with the color and appearance. Be careful stirring as it splatters easily

    So proud of myself that I even decided to tackle this project. I sent a sample of my leather chair and the leather dye was matched perfectly by your company. Followed the directions and chair looks as if nothing was ever wrong with the leather. I am so proud of myself.

    Don't get rid of your leather furniture! Restore it or change the color! I saved this $1200 leather chair for under $100 using Red Chili and Rust colors.

    As you know, I went to a high-end leather sofa store and I fell in love with a specific leather sofa color. I then sent you a sample of the hide and you were able to match the color perfectly. After a few hours, I was was able to transform the boring tan leather sofa that just did not go with my room to a luxurious piece. Thank you ladies for helping me create the perfect color for my home. The interaction between us helped the process go quickly, and by the time the colors arrived, I was ready to rock and roll.

    We are so happy. We only did the seat cushions and the match was perfect. The couch and loveseat look like new.

    I just wanted to let you know my leather couches turned out great!!! I mixed together the two colors like you suggested, and it blended right in with my existing color. I let it dry then mixed together
    the dye and clear prep-finish and went over both couches, top to bottom. The couches are almost 20 years old and they look new again. I never thought it would be this easy to repair leather furniture..I'm
    So happy!!! Thanks again for helping me.

    Analysis results recommended 1:1 Eggplant:Mahogany. Color is exact, and the loveseat looks brand new! I couldn’t believe how quick and easy it was. I have a clay / taupe couch and love seat that have been retired to the basement. They need this too, and I will send another color swatch for analysis.

    I thought of getting rid of my leather sofa since the color was worn out in multiple places. As a last resort, I inquired locally with a leather restoration company who quoted upwards of $250 to fix it and I wasn't ready to pay that much for this 5 year old sofa. That's when I ran into Rub n Restore while doing some research online and I am so glad. To start with I wasn't sure what color blends with my sofa which is where the color analysis really helped. I was provided options and suggestions and I also spoke to customer service to make a decision. Based on that, I went with a 1:1 mixture of Walnut & Mahogany with Clear Prep + Finish. ...More

    The task of applying the color was a breeze and took me around 4 hours with a total DIY cost of $100.
    And my sofa looks like a new one now. I highly recommend Rub n Restore.

    That is my 15 year old sofa! I thought for sure that the product would spruce it up a little but the results were ridiculously amazing. There is no trick photography. I used a 2:1 mix of Rust and Mahogany. That is literally 20 minutes of rubbing some dye with a sponge. Drinking a margarita for 30 minutes, then going back over with clear for 5 minutes. I had a leather person at my house three years ago that wanted $2k to restore my leather. I can't thank you enough. And btw- your customer service was over the top- I wish every business was like. I am going to cry!!!”

    Pics of my first before and after. My husband thought I was crazy when he loaded up the $80 leather sofa bed. He could not believe how wonderful it turned out! The longest part was mixing my own color using your stock options. I only dyed the bottom cushions and arm rest. I love restoring things, thanks again for your great product!”

    I am supremely pleased with the outcome, and it’s a beautiful addition to my home.

    Kristina stenciled a cobblestone pattern onto an ottoman using Ash, Slate, Peppercorn, Ivory, Camel, and Turquoise. The project is documented in her blog, The Brain Squirrel Monologues.

    As you can see there are lots of tufts and folds on the chair, but it was really simple to dye. You just sort of pull and smooth the creases back and rub the sponge over all of it. It honestly couldn’t be easier. If not for job and kid duties this could have been done in a single day, but I did it over several mornings and evenings. In fact there were a few mornings when I got dressed for work, went down to the basement to put on a quick coat of dye, and then headed out the door for the day. It’s not a messy process at all!

    Mera used a mixture of Camel and Cognac. Read the full blog at RedHouseWest.

    This project was SO EASY. It took about 20 minutes to stain both chairs and another 15 minutes to apply the clear sealing coat. Vinyl furniture will never intimidate me ever again. I don't know how many times I've passed up a cute piece of furniture because it was the wrong color. Well, not anymore. This stuff, it's magic. And not only is it for furniture, but it can be used on purses, shoes, wallets, etc. The project list is endless.
