    Wonderful Product
    It works well and is easy to use. I converted my tan leather sofa set and ottoman into a lovely grey colour and it looks great and with 6 months of use - it still looks fine. The products may be a bit expensive but are highly recommended!

    Not happy
    Used product for two years. Not happy with it because it does not last long. You prep as instructed but still rubs off even if couch is used very little. Looks great at first. Easy to put on but doesnā€™t last. Just bought another bottle to continue the process.

    Almost Better than New
    I bought a Hickory Hill leather chair as a non returnable floor model. It had some fading and I stained the back head rest so I had to dye it, spent many hours looking at dyes and ruled recovering due to cost. Rub 'n Restore had a great dye and then I sealed it so I never have to worry about staining again. Also I did some leather repair with their tools and the left over putty I used on repairing some rips in shoes. Won't use anyone else! Thank you.

    Didnā€™t work for me :(
    I read all of the instructions, watched all of the videos several times, and did exactly what it told me to do, but it did not cover any of the damage or wear and tear that I had on my chairs. I was very hopeful, but in the end, it just didnā€™t work for me.
    Reply from Lesandre Barley:
    Hi Mary, the flakiness in the photo bears the hallmarks of bonded or faux leather. Color alone will not correct it. A repair compound (like filler) is needed to resurface it before color is applied. More info and a video tutorial are here. Still, because these materials delaminate, they also resist pretty much anything you put on them. For this reason, we do not recommend investing much in these materials and replacing them with a second-hand piece made of real leather. The link has more info. You can always reach out to us with photos for help choosing a good quality piece.

    Worked really well
    I changed the decor of my living room but didn't want a new lounge chair so I used your product. It worked like a charm and changed the color from tan to slate.

    Amazing product
    22 year old sofa - restored! You have to follow the instructions and the video is great on the website. Prep very important. My project did need a lot of coats so patience is important but this product does what it says and Iā€™m really chuffed with the end result šŸ‘

    Excellent product
    Really works well. One 16oz bottle got me 3 coats on a large sectional.

    I was very skeptical at first but after this project I am sold! Best product out there. Iā€™m redecorating and was ready to buy a new sofa but decided to try this
    first. Iā€™m so glad I did. Dyed mustard color sofa to the slate color. Turned out great.

    Love my Results!
    After great success with another leather product, I hunted down another project piece on my local Marketplace. Iā€™m thrilled with the results. We have a new to us comfy chair that compliments our existing furnitureā€” at a fraction of the cost. So glad I found this product.

    New furniture or try to restore the couches we have loved for years? That was the question and Rub ā€˜n Restore was the answer! After a remodel and decor change, the dark brown couches had to go, but they are so comfy. I was a bit nervous about trying a dye, but the hundreds of positive reviews and my (adult) children begging me not to get rid of the couches pushed me to try. I am amazed at how great they look and how easy it was to get ā€œnewā€ furniture for less than $100!šŸ˜Š
    Thank you for a fantastic product!
    New Slate! Thanks R&R!

    Crazy quality! Unbelievable looks!
    I was skeptical as first, but Iā€™m totally sold! Best products out there! Old brown ottoman $900 to recover but changed it for a few bucks with Rub & Restore dye!

    Ekornes Chair and Ottoman
    My 'mom chair' had some cat scratches, was a little bit worn, and was not the right color for our living room anymore. I started with a teal chair and changed it to match our couch by mixing slate with a little bit of taupe to bring in some warm tones (as recommended by Rub n' Restore experts). I'm super satisfied how it turned out--beautifully!

    Our couch looks like new again! So pleased with the results. Having cushions with lots of folds and creases made things a bit more challenging.. nonetheless the product is so effortless that it wasn't too hard to make it work. Would definitely recommend!

    Boaters ā€” This product even works on hypalon neoprene!
    Iā€™ve used this product on my boat before, old vinyl cushions and my vinyl ceiling in my salon. Incredible results.
    So I thought Iā€™d give it a try on my 1999 Caribe dinghy with hypalon neoprene tubes which were faded and worn. Many people use ā€œdinghy paintā€ on the hypalon tubes, but it cracks and looks ā€œfakeā€. I used two colors of gray and applied two coats of this product. Bam! Dinghy tubes look new. The product doesnā€™t wipe off, itā€™s been in salt water, rain and FL sun. The photos show the product being applied (note all the little cracks it fills in) and then hanging off my trawler boat all finished.

    I absolutely love your product!
    We were given an old leather sectional. It was for the basement so we werenā€™t *too* worried about how it looked. I was going to get some cordovan shoe polish and hope for the best. THEN, I found Rub ā€˜n Restore. Unbelievable results! I washed with warm water and Dawn dish soap (bucket w rag and wrung out the rag). Then rubbing alcohol on all surfaces. Then three coats of SLATE. In the after photo, you can see the seats are glossy. I had used one coat of sealer on the cushions. I revised my strategy and mixed color/sealer 50/50 and did another two coats to make it more of a matte finish. Worked perfectly. Thanks again! Iā€™ve told ALL my fr...More
