Red Chili is our brightest red color. It is a step down from a fire engine red, so it has a regal feel while still being very vibrant and bright.
Use it like a dye on aniline, full-grain leather and vinyl upholstery to:
It applies easily with a sponge and will not alter the feel. It won’t peel or rub off onto clothing.
Each bottle comes with gloves and stir stick.
Before You Buy
Clear Prep+Finish™ or a glaze is strongly recommended to seal all reds.

Then I was at a thrift store and bought a leather foot stool for $6.98. Since I still had some chili red left, I decided to try to make it match the couch. I used a small paintbrush with clear prep and finish in the scratches and worn places before I layered on the chili red color and mottled with a mix of red chili, cherrywood, and clear prep and finish. I love how this old footstool looks new again!
I'm 65 - and these projects are way easier to do than I expected! Not beyond the ability of a senior citizen. And they are fun.
I've decided to completely restore the Jaguar by using all or as many of the cars original parts where possible. I took delivery of the Jaguar approx a month back and immediately removed the car's interior which has acres of walnut veneer and a herd of leather hide.
Everyone said and I quote "you'll never get that leather looking good again in a million years" and "omg that is going to cost you a small fortune it needs a new interior".
Well I knew different with my previous experience working with leather I realised the interior although a total dried up crunchy mess, was salvageable.
After getting quotes to have the interior redone from £9,000 to £17,000, just for the leather work I thought I'd check out products available for a DIM (do it myself)! job.
After looking at 100's of products it was yours at Rub n Restore I went for.
I am delighted I chose you guys just look at the before and after results on the attached photo's, all done by hand, mainly prepped in the garden in the lovely weather were having in England at the moment and finished in the garage.
Took me about 67 hours in total, prep is very important and your fillers are a joy to work with.
Your products are the best I've ever come across so easy to apply being user friendly with no B.S. the products do exactly what they're supposed to and I'd highly recommend them to any one that figures their upholstery is way past it use by date! Amazing results which has saved me a fortune.
Let me add I may have had some experience as a vehicle upholstery trimmer at Jaguar Cars but I was a boy and it was limited only to almost 2 years, but believe me when I say these products are second to none for ease of use, that any body with half a brain like me can use them!!
Highly recommended in fact I can't say enough about your products I can't wait to get back out and finish the front seats and door cards.
I'll be proud to recommend you to all fellow Classic Jaguar and car enthusiasts some of which already can't believe those are the same seats!!!
Brilliant and thank you!
It was used on an 8 year old bonded leather couch at one of our college rentals.
And so simple to use too! Congrats to you on a fine product!
They are just stunning! Im SO pleased.
Thanks ...More
