Marine White Leather & Vinyl Protectant
This off-white color is an excellent match to most boat upholstery. Use it to condition and protect both leather and vinyl from sun; conceal mold, pinking, stains and scuffs.
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.

Changing color is more work and potentially more maintenance than restoring the original.
Add 1/2 teaspoon cross-linker per every 2 oz color to improve adhesion and durability. Adding 1 part Satin Sealer to 4 parts color is also recommended to seal bright colors.
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;
- bonded, faux or polyurethane (PU) ‘leather’ which repel all finishes (including their own).
Order swatches to see how our colors compare. Or send a sample for free color testing and, if necessary, customization.
Colors and clear finishes get the same coverage per bottle. Usually 2-3 coats of color are needed where only one coat of clear finish is needed (so buy half as much of it).
A little goes a long way! These estimates can vary based upon quality and condition of material.

So I applied several coats of the rub n restore (letting dry in between coats), which effectively covered the stains and brought the finish back to life. Note that after several coats, the finish felt a bit rough and chalky, so I "wet sanded" it a few times with a magic eraser, which brought back some of the smoothness. I then applied liberal amounts of 3M boat vinyl conditioner, which brought the smooth vinyl texture back almost completely. Not sure if they recommend using the conditioner, but it seemed to work for me.
Very happy with the results. Will also mention that the product arrived literally the next day after ordering. Sorry no 'before' pictures, but the cushion in the picture was previously inundated with mold spots.
Thanks to the rub n restore team for the consultation because their directions were spot on and the $15 I spent went to my order. Check out our before and afters I only redid the white.
Our other friend on the dock is going to be using this product to restore his vinyl seats on his boat.
The best part was it is so easy to use! It covers well. I used 3 coats with a roller and brush and then took a regular dish cello sponge with the big holes in it and gently went over the top with it slightly wet with the color to even out any uneven areas as it is very very thin.
