    Thank you so much for this wealth of info! I did end up buying the recommended prescription of products.

    The box arrived yesterday and I quickly got to work. I am literally in awe!!! The results are absolutely spectacular. The boring frat couch is longgg gone and I CANNOT wait to see the look on my friends faces next time theyā€™re over for dinner :). Thanks again for your insight and crystal clear instruction. Iā€™m so excited about my new (old) couch!!

    Thank you so much for providing this service and these products. It looks absolutely beautiful!!

    Before the last coat was applied the surface was looking streaky. Then I went back to your website and read that blotting color with the sponge works better, rather than moving it back and forth. That method worked beautifully.

    I am so happy - The finished outcome is better than I ever expected. Whenever the finish needs a touchup, I think Iā€™ll make it a little darker. Itā€™s so nice to know I have that option.

    I just wanted to share how much I love my ā€œnewā€ chair! Ā Turned out beautiful :) I did have to order another bottle of Walnut to finish the other chair and I have an ottoman. Ā Looking forward to having it all done!

    Your video tutorials, written instructions, and products are amazing. When I undertake DIY projects, there are usually many tears shed. But this was so easy and turned out beautifully.

    This project turned out awesome! Ā I ended up mixing 2:1 mahogany to cherrywood. Thank you so much for you help. I have already referred 4 friends. Iā€™m super happy with the way they turned out.

    I am beyond thrilled with my result- the top is the before and the bottom two are after. Ā I fully did the seat cushion and spot did other areas on the chair but I think the match was very good (mix of Cherrywood and Tobacco). Thanks for all the great advice and videos!

    My Dad's leather chair and ottoman had great sentimental value but needed some TLC, as it was showing lines and wear mostly on the arms, seat and ottoman.Ā  After much online research and reading of independent consumer reviews I decided to purchase the Rub and Restore products.Ā  The final selling point was the availability of the videos as I'm visual and needed the "how to" DIY advice.( I watched them so many times I probably could be Lesandre's stand in!) With much trepidation I decided that this was the week to jump in and just get it done.Ā  Come what may. Thank you, thank you, thank you!Ā  Everything you said was true ... the product is ...More

With much trepidation I decided that this was the week to jump in and just get it done.Ā  Come what may.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!Ā  Everything you said was true ... the product is forgiving, does cover as directed and has brought the chair back to life.Ā  I obsessed over the how to's, can I, and the what ifs Ā ... did I clean it correctly, is it streaky, etc.Ā  But with a little water everything blended in.Ā  Originally I intendedĀ to have a satin finish (2 to 1 ratio) but the chair looked like milk chocolate and was a bit dull.Ā  I ended up putting a top coat of the primer + sealerĀ on the following morning and the chair just came to life.Ā  Altogether I think I spent about 5+ hours on the project.

    I'm so pleased with your customer support, quick responses, the products and of course the end result. I know the value of good customer service and truthful advertising.Ā  I find that many firms fall short but I must say that you were right on.Ā  Your customer service is top notch.Ā  Your response time as well as your personal responses were instrumental in my decision to try your product.Ā  Having videos that showed me how to proceed were critical in giving me confidence to try.Ā  Great job, much appreciated.

    Can't thank you all enough.Ā  I'll recommend you wholeheartedly .....

    Your product works better than advertised.Ā  I have a big boat project and took the most worn seat bottom to see how Rub n Restore really works.Ā  I was hoping for 70% better, but the results were amazing.Ā  Waiting for a little warmer weather to attack this project.Ā  Here's a pick of the finished cushion.Ā  I'll send a complete photo journal when completed.Ā  My friend will be reaching out to you as I shared my picture with him and he's going to place an order.

    I am totally ecstatic and blown away with the transformation of my sofa after using the rubnrestore products! The process was very easy to do and tutorials online were very helpful to get the process right. I am a believer and so happy to have saved so much money since I did not have to buy a new couch to replace this one.

    Had this soft leather sofa for 20 years. It was in good shape the leather just me faded over time. After visiting my sister in NC a few years ago she showed me her couches that she restored with the rubnrestore dye. I just finished using the wine burgundy color and my wife I couldnā€™t be happier. Our friends just paid over $4,000 for 2 new couches and we refinished this for a little over $100.

    Absolutely love this product! From the evaluation and color suggestions to the easy to follow ā€œhow toā€ videos I felt like I had an expert with me throughout the entire project. I have never attempted anything like this before and Iā€™m blown away by how easy the entire process was. With Rub ā€˜nā€™ Restore, a bit of polyfil for the cushions and an afternoon, my 15 year old leather furniture looks brand new again! Thank you for such a quality product and outstanding service.

    To put it bluntly, I couldn't be any happier. I had a jacket for years that I only wore occasionally and only because I felt a little obligated because it wasĀ  so nice I felt guilty never using it. Even so I'll admit I was a little hesitant to start a DIY project on the thing. But I figured if people were really putting this stuff on couches, it had to be pretty effective. In the end it's all I could have hoped for and more. From the detailed assessment I got when I submitted the project, to the clear, step-by-step instructions, the entire project went easily and flawlessly.

My most enthusiastic recommendation on the product and my appreciation to everyone at Rub-N-Restore for the fantastic customer service.

    I followed all the directions given in my preview report (well worth it) I was shocked how beautiful my couches came out. Prep, color and soft filler for cat scratches was so easy to do. I was planning on buying new couches. So glad I didnā€™t!

    Prior to ordering Rub n Restore Products I completed the online Custom Project Evaluation and included pictures of the couches I planned to restore. I blame my dogs and kids for staining/ ruining them lol and refused to spend the money on a brand new set. I received a very detailed response back that even included approximately how much product I would need for both couches. I went with SLATE and mixed it with Clear Prep + Finish for a satin finish. I used about 6 coats and have left over for touch ups. I am super pleased with the results.

    I am completely thrilled with the results of restoring my sectional sofa! First, I received an evaluation from Lesandre. She did not upsell me; in fact, I thought I needed the repair kit and she said I didn't. I ordered it anyway, and she was right. I didn't need it! I called Lesandre to ask a few specific questions. She answered the call immediately and couldn't have been more helpful and gracious. Completing the project was as easy as described. I finished coloring my entire sectional in one day.
