Finally finished!  Re-stained the wood as well, THAT turned out to be the time consuming part! Loving the blue!

At this point, my sense is that the color, midnight blue, is not as dark as the sample that was sent. Also, It's been about 8 days since application and I can still rub off some color with a terry cloth rag if I apply only a moderate amount of pressure. I'll give it more time (luckily I tested it in an inconspicuous location) but I'm kind of discouraged at this point. The chair I'm hoping to "treat" is in good shape and made of high quality leather. I'm trying to restore the original color (dark blue) which has faded a bit more than I'd like.
Reply from lesandre:
Blue is made with organic (not mineral) pigments and can sometimes be a little fussier. Dry buff the surface with a rag, as you have, until unstable pigment stops transferring. Pre-treating the rag (and any clothing) with washing soda or borax should remove the pigment after laundering. If deemed necessary, our Clear Prep+Finish or the special order Satin Sealer over the top can add an additional layer of protection.

Deep color cover up
I was able to completely cover up my wine colored couch with 4 coats, plus a top coat/glaze mix. I love the color!

I'm completely blown away by the finished project! I used "Midnight Blue" on my sun-warped "blue" leather chairs and think they actually look better than when I originally bought them. I used roughly three coats of the color and then finished with one coat of the Clear+Prep and Finish Conditioner. Extremely happy with this product and the results.

The color turned out beautiful! I learned the importance of the Clear Prep and Finish and proper preparation. Order plenty of Clear Prep and Finish! I should have sanded some of the leather prior but I honestly didn't know it was scaly until I began coloring it. It took about 7 or 8 coats alternated with Prep and Seal to cover the back of the couch properly but the products are amazing. I can't believe it's my 22 year old furniture that has moved 13 times and had been in storage for 2 years prior to moving to Hawaii where it gets sun exposure in our living room. I am ever grateful and look forward to finishing up the love seat next week.

I just wanted to drop in again, this time to say Thank You! Thank you for answering my questions a year or so ago when I was just inquiring about your products. Thank you for your quick response to my questions when I decided to purchase, even during the Coronavirus Pandemic - I finally had time to take on this project and I had several questions; I am a particular perfectionist! This is a 20-year-old Natuzzi leather sofa and chair when I say your guidance and product did not disappoint, it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! My furniture looks brand new. Thank you Rub 'n Restore!



My college student will be taking this to her apartment next fall and I'm sure she will now be able to get 20 more years out of it. As it is perfectly called, all we did was RUB on the product and my furniture has been RESTORED!

I bought a leather sectional at a thrift store for $98 bucks. It was so gross and dirty, I literally threw the leather covers into the washing machine as there just wasn't any other way to get them clean. But...after cleaning it and then using the Rub n Restore, I couldn't be more pleased!
Old, looks new

The old pictures don’t show haw badly worn my chair was. My wife wanted to throw it away and get a new one. After my Rub n Restore treatment with the Midnight Blue and Prep Finish my wife said better than new. It has that old English men club look of a loving cared for antique.

I'm sending you ladies a testimonial because I cannot stop talking about your fabulous product! Rub and Restore converted this ugly old vintage leather sofa (that someone posted for free on Facebook and then tossed outside onto their driveway) into this absolutely gorgeous midnight blue mid century piece I'm excited to place in my living room. Just look at the difference -- talk about drab to divine! My friends and family can't believe the change and I've been telling them all about your company and the videos on Youtube. On top of your product actually doing what it promises to do, I really appreciated the personalized suggestions I received from you not long after I emailed your company with some questions. Now that's top-notch service! I can't wait for my next project -- converting a nice leather recliner from espresso brown to peacock blue (I'll be trying my hand at mixing colors this round). I've already ordered more Rub and Restore and I'm sure I'll be posting photos of the recliner soon. Thanks again for making such an awesome product and for all your help!

This stuff is as amazing as the videos show! 23 years ago we had put a lot of money into Ethan Allen furniture: solid cherry with dark blue leather cushions for the entire living room. It was beautiful. But after 20 years of cats drooling and bleeding on the ottoman, and sunlight fading the rest of the furniture to an irregular light blue, with a few cat drool spots, it looked beyond repair. We didn't want to sink $$$ into replacement of all of the cushions. After Rub N Restore, it looks beautiful again. A miracle!!!

Are use these to restore my 30 year old blue La-Z-Boy couches. They look brand new now. This color of blue was just a little darker than their original color but I like it because the original blue color was a little too turquoise for me.

Easy to use. I used a spray gun from Harbor Freight $13.00 It used 1.75 tip at 30 Pound pressure. I sprayed the front seats of a Porsche Boxter. Gave it 4-5 coats where I repaired damage as per videos on youtube and then went over the front seats 3-4 times light coats follow up with an Hair dryer. They came out looking like new.They looked terrible before with splits and scuffing all over. I called and spoke to Souse and she was a great help. Sent samples and sent out the product same day I called. I would really use these again If I could give 10 * I would Customer Service and the Product is just the Best.

I used Rub n Restore on two projects. Both turned out great. One was an older brown couch and recliner that was really looking worn, scratched and stained. I had to experiment with the color but it turned out great.



The other was a used tan sectional I bought and refinished in Midnight Blue. I do have to touch it up occasionally but it looks great. You'd never know it was tan before.

Rub N Restore took my scratched up, 17 year old hunter green couches to a beautiful midnight blue with ease! After reading about your product and researching the testimonials, I figured why not? I had all of the confidence in the product, but I am not overly handy or crafty for that matter, so I wondered if I could handle it and get it right! Well, I'm here to say, it was easy AND it worked! If I can do this, anyone can. I started with the Flite cleaner, then followed that with a coat of clear prep and shine. I ended up doing 4 coats of midnight blue. After a day, I decided to put on a final coat of clear. Also, I have at least a third of the bottle left for touch up which is plenty. I can't believe how much the scratches are either eliminated or blended in using this product. It's amazing! I'm now considering a color change on my other set of newer leather sofas! Everyone who sees them now just can't believe it. Thanks again for answering my questions and concerns so quickly!”

Thank you for the help and advice.

I just finished my chair project using rubnrestore in midnight blue.



The chair was far from perfect when purchased from a garage sale, so, it still has a couple of dents in the cushion and arms where something had been stored. Darn!



I used the clear finish after 48 hours of curing the dye. It is the frosting on the cake! I loved working with this product.

Thanks!
