Product Details

Use our water-based finishes to restore and condition:

absorbent aniline and semi-aniline leather,
non-absorbent full-grain or top-grain leather,
and vinyl upholstery.

Our finishes won’t sunfade or backstain like leather dyes. They don't feel plasticky, flake or peel like spray paints.

Do not use on fabric, suede, nubuck, bonded or faux leather.

Store in a temperate, dark place away from children.

See here before changing color!

Changing color is best suited to absorbent leather.

If the material repels water and will be heavily used, consider adding 1 part special order Satin Sealer to 4 parts color to improve durability. Thorough cleaning and stress testing the color are critical!

The following are not good candidates and will require touch-up:

changing from red / dark to white / pale;
worn, cracking, scaly or thinning leather;
furniture with lots of wrinkles, folds, deep creases (and therefore stress);
pieces that are heavily used or harshly cleaned (kids, dogs, chemicals);
car or boat upholstery (for these we suggest a heavier urethane coating);
bonded, faux or polyurethane (PU) ‘leather’ which repel all finishes (including their own).

Here's what wear looks like on non-absorbent leather or vinyl:

Our finishes wear naturally, resulting in a distressed look.

Deeper lines or creases receive more stress.

Picture of beige leather changed to Cognac and then scratched by dog claws — Dog claws can quickly scuff the color.

Easy rub-off indicates inadequate cleaning.

The color may flake if applied too thickly and allowed to pool in the grain.

This is easily corrected by thinning the color with alcohol and reapplying.

brand new!

I just wanted to thank you for helping me get my order shipped on time. I received it the next day and just in time to finish my sofa before I had to leave. Thank you for taking the time to help me out and make it happen! Here is a photo of the finished result. I bought the sofa for $100 and it was covered in cat scratches and claw marks. now it looks brand new! Thank you!

Great product. I ordered a standard color that was to light, then ordered a shade that was darker. Had to mix the two to get the right color for my chair but it looks brand new. Adheres easily to the leather and easy to "bleed" into chair existing color to get a perfect match.

I ordered two times and still never got my match

Reply from Lesandre Barley:

Hi Arnold, there are hundreds of shades of off-white, ivory and cream colors, which is why we suggest folks order swatches. We'll mail you some free ones today. If those don't match, we can customize for a fee if you send a sample. You can exchange or return the Ivory as well.

Fixed my pontoon boat seatss

I used this product to cover my pontoon boat seats that were old and dry with mold on them, it worked great. I cleaned the seats with rubbing alcohol and rubbed on several coats of paint. The paint dries pretty quick so can do many coats in one day. I also patched areas and used filler for the holes.

It works very well

We live on a boat in Panama that is always open to the sea breeze. So like everything in Panama parts of the cushions in the Salon get speckeled with spots of black mold. There is no way to get it off without destroying the vinyl. So about once a year we dye all the cushions (and the mold) and they look like new again. We have been doing this for about eight years and love the fact that there are no toxic materials involved.

Wrong shade

Second time I tried, I give up. I am never able to match.

Reply from Lesandre:

There are hundreds of beige, ivory, and cream colors. We have only three standardized colors, but we can match a color if you send a sample. Learn more about color matching here.

Ok

I used on my pontoon boat seats not really impressed with results. Followed instructions but just did not seem to cover much of the discolored seats

Good product!

Our light beige loveseat, armchair and ottoman are 18 years old, and they had some scratches from a cat as well as general wear from sitting and moving around on the leather. Some areas were worn and wrinkled so that the leather felt thin. The finished pieces look very good and we are pleased. Granted, there was a lot of work involved to do this project (more than we expected), but we're glad we put in the hours to finish it right. Thank you to Lesandre for being available to answer email questions all throughout our project. Thank you!

Pontoon interior was starting to look worn. You'd never know this boat is 22 years old - looks fantastic!

Like Magic

Used your product to recolor dark streaks that developed where I rest my head on our ivory leather couch. Within minutes, the dark streaks were gone and the headrest looked like new. Couldn't have been happier with the results.

Vinyl miracle!✨

Was definitely skeptical at first… took about 3 coats with some areas harder than others but what an easy application and once I was happy with the evenness of the color I did a final topcoat with the “Clear prep & finish” and OMG! What a transformation! My bench seat from my vintage trailer looks glossy & new! Amazing product! So happy I spent a little extra money and didn’t use vinyl spray paint!

Restored (Ivory) Chairs

I think the photo speaks for itself. We had two identical chairs that, due to dogs laying on them, etc., had really deteriorated. We did some research and found Rub N Restore. We first had two color swatches sent--beige and ivory--and chose ivory because it was a little closer match, although a bit lighter than the original. We bought 16oz of dye and 8oz of the clear topcoat. We first did a little prep on the cushions, which had the worst damage. I watched the video about repairing cracks and repaired the one crack we had with some super glue. The seat cushions were also rough, so I did a little sanding. Then, we mixed the clear and d...More

I watched the video about repairing cracks and repaired the one crack we had with some super glue. The seat cushions were also rough, so I did a little sanding. Then, we mixed the clear and dye and applied the first (light) coat to the worst areas, did two more coats of the dye over the whole chairs, and then did a top coat of the clear. This picture is before the topcoat. It was a little hard at first to not get streaks, but the trick is to rub and rub and rub as it dries. We ended up with about 1/3 left in each bottle. We could have used more up with additional coats, but didn't see much point.
