The product was absolutely amazing!! The boat is 20years old and looked old with sunbaked mildew stains- they are gone and it looks beautiful!! I was skeptical but couldn't have been more pleased at results!!

Looks brand new!
I found a cheap La-Z-boy on FB Marketplace, but wanted to recolor it. It was not in great condition surface-wise, but the padding, supports, and mechanics all worked great. I had been wanting a teal chair for my living room, so I got to work. Getting the right color mix took me a while, but the process of painting the furniture and applying the finish was quick and easy! I mixed turquoise and forest green to get the color I wanted and used the satin sealer to finish it. I don't like the shine of the gloss sealer, and I wanted 2 layers of clear sealant between me and the color when using the chair. I am very happy with the results and highly r...More

I have been using the chair a few hours every day since finishing it and it still looks brand new!

My new old purse!
Love this color! I took an old purse that was a lighter turquoise, once upon a time, but had been faded and neglected. Cleaned with IPA as suggested, did the tape test, and then proceeded by dabbing on a 50/50 mixture of the Turquoise and Clear Prep & Finish. I used a new makeup sponge to dab and rub it in. A little went a long way and I'm SO pleased with the results! The only issue was that it smelled a bit strong for a few days so I let it air out before using. Color seems to be really on there, looks professional, and doesn't seem to likely to transfer at all! So pleased with this project, and so happy to get to use a beloved purs...More

So pleased with this project, and so happy to get to use a beloved purse rather than trying to select a new one with just the right pockets and such.

Highly Recommend
The process was relatively easy for putting on the color (hardest part was cleaning it, I think! lol). I'm VERY pleased with the magic-like results of this product. It covered the green easily and quickly. I'm ready to consider going into leather furniture reselling after using RubNRestore on our $90 Vinyl (I'm pretty sure) couch! It is SO worth it. Easy to apply. Oh-So-Fast change. Only thing I noticed is that at first, the color CAN rub off a little bit after drying (or when applying a clear coat - accidentally "painted" my nails light teal while doing the clear coat because I didn't wear gloves!

My chair looks amazing and now goes with the decor in my house and matches color in my rug. I changed the color from a deep burgundy to a beautiful turquoise.Ā The process was simple and the results were amazing. My recliner had a lot of tufts and gathers that took extra attention. Because of that and the many coats applied I used the entire 8oz bottle. I will need to order more in case I need any touch up. The instructional videos showing how to fix cat scratches were really wonderful and helped me to eliminate all the marks I had on the back of this chair from my cat. Between the sanding and the paint they are gone!

Gorgeous
I found a club chair on the street that someone was getting rid of. It was in great condition except the leather which was scratched and clawed, (I presume by a pet cat.) It was also a hideous color of faded out pale green. I thought I would give it a try - nothing to loose. So I used Rub and Restore turquoise, followed all the instructions including supergluing and sanding the areas that were clawed. It came out so beautiful my husband fell in love with it and has claimed as"his" chair"

just wanted say wow! Great Product, I have already finished my love seat and thought i would send a photo of the difference between the sofa and the love seat. this set is 25 years old, was extremely sun faded and had no finish left on the leather. Its like a new sofa! (I did flip the pillow top cushion around so the back of the cushion is now the front; more support and better loft!)

Love it!! Love it!!
This was amazingly easy! I cannot believe how beautiful it turned out! And the color was exactly as expected. I started with the stone gray as a primer, since the leather I was dying was a dark burgundy color, and then I used the turquoise to create this beautiful transformation. The entire process took only about 2-3 hrs.

The before picture is actually after I just started applying and had forgotten to take a picture. So the original chair was even an uglier green. My husband is a county commissioner, and this was an old chair from the courthouse that he bought when they were buying new ones. It's super comfortable and he loves it, otherwise that olive color would have never been acceptable for my living room!
I might leave the fabric seat as is, I kind of like the vibe. Thanks so much!
Halfway no going back!

I love this color! I picked up this gorgeous chair for my bedroom for $20 dollars what a steal and found a foot stool not even good leather for $30 :( , then colored them. But then there was left over color so I also picked up a lovely chair for my craft room also for $20. See for yourself, the chairs came out so beautiful. The color is rich and vibrant. I used a little of the color with the clear coat for the bedroom chair to give it a light sheen. I used full clear coat on my craft room chair since I use that the most and I wanted it shiny. I love the finish on both of them! Thank you so much for a wonderful product! Now I need to d...More

I mixed the turquoise color with the clear and transformed my boring taupe leather chairs in just a coat (maybe two on some spots) using only a damp sea sponge. I left a little of the taupe showing to create a subtle marbled look.

Amen and kudos to all the testimonials I have read above! My own review is here as well but I had to add my own feedback to what has been posted here. My own experience has been similarly positive and amazing. However I did have a few issues and challenges with my own particular experience. But CC & Lesandre went the extra mile and were constantly there for me to help me get the final results I wanted. Where do you find such phenomenal customer service? It doesn't stop with the initial sale, it continues long after! Thank you ladies!

I originally gave Rub 'n Restore 5 stars & rave reviews. This was before the coat of clear started taking off the color and a long process of troubleshooting, stripping, & reapplying ensued. Although I have had my challenges with the product, (though likely some it may have been my own fault... unintentionally of course,) the continual follow through, help, advice, suggestions and total professionalism of CC & Lesandre was top notch! Having been in customer service myself for many years, I well know and appreciate that "personal touch" and feeling valued as a client.
