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.
$19 – $79
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 best suited to absorbent leather.
Thorough cleaning and testing color adhesion are critical! If the material repels water and will be heavily used, consider adding special order Satin Sealer to the color.
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 products are water-based acrylic finishes (paints) that look and feel natural. Consider a heavier urethane or aerosol for color changing boat or auto upholstery.
You can order handmade swatches of leather or vinyl refinished with our colors to see how they compare.
Or send us a sample. For a $120 fee, we will formulate a unique color and keep it on file. 8 oz. is the order minimum and a separate cost. There's a re-mix fee if you ever need more.
Samples should be at least 2" x 3" in size and can be:
- Original leather or vinyl (found underneath cushions or pull some staples and trim from the frame);
- Cushion case (please indicate which area you want matched with a piece of painters tape);
- Headrest, fuse panel cover, or component from a vehicle;
- Paint chip from a hardware store (beware, the paint chip may not actually match the material).

Boat seats (12 years old) are now brand new looking. Amazing and easy to apply.way
My email question was answered the same day so I felt supported throughout the process.
Thank you!
It’s definitely scary seeing it go on! It’s like watery paint! But then the water dried and just the color is left. I did two couches and it took a little over an hour for each one. A large bottle (yes it needs lots of layers but not as much when covering lighter colors) it lasted for both couches but not the backside of the one against the wall so I’m getting another small bottle to finish.
Overall it’s amazing!! Texture after feels chalky at first when compared to the greasy old seats but already smoother after a day. Maybe it’s nice with the clear sealer but I way prefer a matte finish so I won’t be using the clear coat.
I’m trying to think of all the other couches I can do this to now!!
My Yacht seats had yellow stains in them and after utilizing your product they came out looking brand new with such little effort. Your service and product was more than I hope for as they look new. The seats are soft and look brand new. I've enclosed a couple of a pictures before and after.
I have sold a couple of my yacht club buddies on your product and have already placed orders.
You have one satisfied customer.
I applied this product myself and was shocked at how easy it was to use. The end result is that all my seats now look BRAND NEW !!!!!
Thank you for a great product !!!!!
