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.

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.

Just thought I would share a few before and after photos. Had mildew on my boat seats that would not come off so I used your marine white dye and turned out great! Thank you.

The “rubnrestore” and it is doing exactly as you said it would. It is easy to do and I love it. Thank you so much. I ordered some other stuff and tried it but it was difficult and time consuming and slow to do. I am so thankful that I found you on the internet. It made my job a no brainer and a lot less work. Again thank you for being there and me finding you.

Wish we had known about this product years ago. My husband just stumbled upon it. Color was a perfect match and it covered the seats beautifully. I would make a suggestion of offering smaller bottles for colored trim pieces.

Thank you for the excellent product. I restored the leather seats on a small plane and came out perfect. Going to buy some blue for another plane.

The product seemed great at first... I did everything exactly by the book I also bought a special applicator to use with the product.. and after painting the couch we didn’t use it for 4 days just in case to let everything to dry well!! But now 2 months later everything is back exactly to the way it looked before all the paint is gone!! And its after I’ve put three layers... very very disappointed!!!!

Worked great on our vinyl boat seats. Went a shade lighter with dye, so it took around 8 coats to get good coverage over darker vinyl. After applying 3 coats of clear coat sealer the wife and friends love the restored boat seats.
