So my son managed to wear away a good portion of our nice leather sofa playing on his PS4. The good news was that the color offered by runnrestore matched very close to our sofa so the restoration was very good.
I'm kicking myself for not taking before and after pictures. I like to see how things turn out. Sorry.

Got the custom color which matched perfectly. Followed directions for proper preparation of our bonded leather sectional and applied the color to the furniture as directed and waited 4 hours for it to dry. Then I mixed the sealer with color to get the degree of shine we desired and applied it as recommended. We did not use the furniture for six days to allow it to dry completely. Now after less than a week of sitting on it the finish is coming off and we are very disappointed. Great idea, but with our bonded leather furniture it did not have any durability. I wonder if full grain leather would have a better result. I sure wouldn't try it and be disappointed.
We generally discourage restoration of bonded leather for reasons enumerated here. Our stuff doesn't stick to bonded leather well, and we would have noticed this in working with your swatch and formulating your color. Are you certain yours is indeed bonded leather? Perhaps the issue is in cleaning prior to restoration?
The matched color was a perfect match. The directions helped and gave me courage that I could do it. Thank you.
Very pleased with ease of use
I am a true believer!

I love that they help you select the right products and methods for your restoration project. The color and finish apply very easily and is quite forgiving. I restored this well worn but high quality Stickley leather couch in about 2 hours (with three small tears). I found It's best to work in one small area at a time and rub in a circular motion. I blended the conditioning sealer with the color and finished with just the conditioning sealer right after to give it some shine and to keep it's slightly worn look that I like. The only thing I wish they would improve is the gloves they send. Would be nice for it to come with some nitrile gloves instead of the cheap plastic ones.
I have never used a product that was as easy and effective as Rub N Restore. I renewed a love seat and couch in about 4 hours. They look like new!

I purchased a Forest Green recliner and needed to change the color to match our decor. I watched many videos and checked many different brands of “dye” and their websites to figure out what I should do. Most gave no instructions on what to buy or how to use it, or they were very confusing. Your products, your information and instructional videos are “hands down” far superior to everything I researched. I am very happy with the results, and look forward to another project in the future!

Had this oversized leather chair that got badly faded as it was beside a window. Decided to paint it buttercup. Rub restore gave me some great tips and off I went. Probably spent 6 hrs to do chair and footrest. Love it and easy to do. I did several coats on the really faded parts that were also stained. I get lots of comments and love that I can use it again in my reading nook!

I wanted to thank you both for being there when I had questions regarding a recent project I did for my neighbor. For years he had wanted his club chairs to be presentable, but the high quotes he was getting stunted his hopes. He and I are both in our mid 60's with senior issues about money. I was able to provide him a fair quote due to the reasonable price of your products. I have had previous success using your products but one his chairs was going to be extremely difficult. One of his family members named Kasha; a 120 lb.German Shepard had claimed the chair. I used your filler scratch repair kit and cherrywood and satin sealer and the result was remarkable.

I've have officially managed to salvage my 20 year old leather couch set, and it’s a miracle. I can’t say that it was a walk in the park, but I can say the the results are fantastic and will extend the life of these pieces, which were previously on their death bed. While it doesn’t change the slightly outdated, puffy furniture look, I am ultimately very pleased with the results. The furniture looks nearly as good as new and is an exciting new color! "Slate" I followed the instructions and truly appreciated the video tutorials. As with any project, it's all in the prep work! Cleaning, patching, and applying the soft filler compound had to be done meticulously. Painting was the "fun" part. We felt as if we were bathing an elephant. I've done a full blog post which contains additional images and feedback. I highly recommend these products.

I purchased your product a little over one year ago! I was hesitant to use anything on my beloved family couch and loveseat however you made it very easy with clear instructions and video. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We absolutely love love all of the products and found them easy to use. The clear prep and finish is so terrific that I use it at times just to provide a nice coating and some luster to the furniture. Can’t say enough good about this product it is worth every penny! Another helpful hint that I found it extremely successful in restoring old furniture was such a hint on using poly fill to add a slight amount of stuffing to the seats and back pillows. That also help the couches seem new.

I have no words for my feelings right now. I inherited my Dad’s office chair from my sister.
My husband and I just remodeled his office since most of his classes are online now. We decided he needed a real office chair.
We considered getting rid of it, but I could not part with it. I got a quote from a local furniture restoration shop. They said it couldn’t be restored. They could reupholster it for $1500.
I found Rub 'n Restore online with a product that promised to restore it to almost new.
I cleaned it, applied the first coat of the leather restoring product (camel), but the color was not even close.
I contacted the company and they sent me two leather samples and directions on how to mix two colors to get the color I wanted (honey). I mixed cognac with the camel to get a honey color.
TA DA!!! Dad’s chair looks like new. Total cost $80 compared to $1500.

I can’t say enough good things about thenRun’nRestore products. While trying to clean a stubborn soiled spot on a leather couch cushion I left a cloth soaked in a strong household cleaner on the cushion for 30 minutes to “soften the soiled area and make the clean up easier. To my horror when I removed the moistened cloth it had completely removed all the color, leaving a large white area in the shape of the cloth. The Rub’nRestore product worked GREAT! I just followed the directions, application and cleanup was easy, the whole process of cleaning, priming, color application , drying between coats of color , and clean up took less than 45 mins. I highly recommend the product. The results looks good as new, even managed to very quickly touch up several worn spots on two marching chairs, it definitely saved me the cost of a replacement couch!

Let me start by saying I never leave reviews... I found this product by doing a search on Google. Our leather set was 14 years old and as you can see by the pictures it looked every bit its age! Still, I was extremely skeptical and terrified I would ruin our furniture. However, After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures I decided to give it a shot. What I found after using this product still amazes me! I bought the 16 ounce bottle in Espresso and the clean and prep. I have about 1/4 of the bottle left! So glad I took a leap of faith!!!

I'm sorry I don't have pics, but the whole process of repairing a LARGE hole using the Sub-Patch Kit, the Leather Filler and Vinyl Repair Compound, Mahogany Vinyl & Leather Finish, and then coloring it and and using the Clear Prep + Finish and Sealer was AMAZING!!! My couch and chairs look restored and happy. One thing to note is that the dye goes a long way. I ordered the largest bottle thinking I would need it for a couch and 2 side chairs. I could have easily ordered the small and have most of the bottle left over. I suppose if I were changing color I might have used more, but it was WAY too much. I used 1/2 a large container of the Vinyl Repair Compound and I may go back and use more of it to fill in scratches so that was well worth it. It dries clear and feels a bit sticky like when dry, but the Clear Prep Finish over the Compound makes that feeling go away and leaves a really lovely patina on the leather. It was very empowering to know I could fix the couch and chairs that my dogs had loved to (almost) death and bring it back to full life!!

I had rhe material on my couch what ever it is discolor. The manufacturer would not honor the warranty so I was on my own. A little research brought me to the site and I thought it would be worth a try. I ordered a small bottle because of the size of the area I needed to do. I always clean my furniture so I was ready when my order got here. I stirred the liquid well put on a nitrile glove and got to work. Within 10 minutes I had a perfectly restored headrest you can't tell where the damage was. I still have most of the bottle left for any other issues that come up. Easy to use covers well and drys fast. Anyone can use it too.

Used this to spruce up a leather suitcase repurposed as a coffee table. It looks fine. Darker than I hoped. I'm most concerned about the warning label saying "Suspected of causing cancer". I used the conditioner/ sealer product for several layers after coloring, but red coloring wipes off the table when I try to clean with a damp cloth, even after drying and a week later.
Thanks for taking the time to review our products, Sarah. The scary language on the bottle is mandated by law and also assumes daily exposure and airborne application via spray gun. Likely there are cleaners and flame retardants on furniture in your home that are far worse. You can learn more about all the ingredients in our products and look at the safety data sheets here.
Wish we'd had the opportunity to consult on this fun project. A table (which experiences more liquids, cleaning) would perhaps do better with a special order acrylic-urethane sealer.

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.

Great product. We purchased two used couches and a leather chair and ottoman used and wanted to make them match so we used cognac as our base color.

We dyed two sofas and a chair and ottoman with a cognac base and used tobacco for a glaze. Worked Great. See the cognac dye section for photos.

I was happy with The results. 2 coats were sufficient . I was expecting more of paste/ lotion . The first application I used the gloves you sent and they were too short and I had dye all over my application hand. The second coat I used longer sturdier rubber gloves and had no stains on me! I would use your products again and refer others to do so . Thanks! What should I use to condition the now treated sofa and chair.
It was adequate I thought it was a special sponge. I could have gone to the dollar store.
Thank you

I purchased this chair from Crate and Barrel almost 15 years ago. It was originally a caramel brown but got very faded and worn over the years. I tried a leather conditioner but it didn't make much of a difference. So glad I found rub n restore. I love the rich chocolate brown color - I used espresso - 2 coats, with a bit of the clear coat. It took me about 2 hours. Huge transformation.

I was a bit skeptical if this would work, but I thought why not! After receiving my sample CC called me within the next 2 business days as advertised. We discussed the project and she got to work matching my vinyl color. My business is selling high end graphics to medical device companies so I know a lot about matching "brand" colors accurately. CC nailed the vinyl match. After numerous light coats the worn areas began to disappear. I was honestly amazed! Additional coats along with the Prep + Finish Sealer made the worn areas look almost new. I am blown away by the results and am recommending the product and services to all my boating friends. Working with CC was a pleasure.

Help with color match please
Espresso, Mahogany, maybe a mix of Eggplant with one of those. Looks rather purplish on our end.

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.

Ok- after reading all of the reviews I decided to jump in and take on my own project (in lieu of spending $10k+ over buying new). Here's my thoughts after completing 1 couch:
Absolutely amazing result. Almost unbelievable. Very painstaking and time consuming (6 hrs on the couch) but well worth the result. Took 4 + coats as I was making a major color change. I suggest starting in an area that won't be seen (if possible). Best applicator I found were wax applicators from the auto parts store (none are included with the product). Definitely want to dampen the applicator before applying and to eliminate any streaks in the final coat - wet the sponge a bit more. This is the trickiest step. Again- results are amazing. Hair dryer is a critical tool for quick drying between cushions and subsequent coats. I did not use wax paper after application and had no issues. Can't say enough good things about the product and the owners. Great customer service. The only 2 items I would mention: the color samples they sent me were a bit darker than my finished product but that was fine with me. Also, I can't speak to the longevity of the finish as I just completed my project a week ago. Good luck to all! You wont be disappointed.

I bought the black dye, it works as advertised. A couple passes over the dried compound was suffice to get the depth of color I needed. However, when I received the package, the cap must not be secured properly and some of the dye had leaked out and dried on the bottle. The spillage happened to be right over the information panel of the label.
Seats were mildew stained and discolored after a failed cleaning attempt.

Great product which did everything I wanted it to do. The base prep product set up the vinyl so applying the dye was quick and simple. The added bonus was the great service. I filled out questionnaire from which I got back product recommendation with quantities all filled out on an order form. They included everything you need to do the project. That made ordering easy. The instruction were easy to follow and spot on with what I needed to know.
My email question was answered the same day so I felt supported throughout the process.
Thank you!

I used this product along with the Tobacco Vinyl and Leather Finish to give an old leather side chair a great new look. I followed Lesandre's instructions pretty carefully and was truly amazed by how good my chair looks! No more dated 1980s burgundy leather!

This product is fantastic - (I am now mourning an older leather couch that my father in law owned that we gave away because we didn't know how to make it look better). It was so simple to use - do exactly as you are told by Lesandre. Follow the directions, watch the videos and you can't possibly go wrong. I am now in the process of doing another white chair and we ended up being game enough to purchase a second hand double recliner that was in rough shape because I am confident I could repair and restore it. I did it over an evening with good light and a couple of red wines. I highly recommend it (the red wine too!)

Our couches were given to us after they were put into storage with plastic over them and had yellowed. I’ve been wishing we could see them in their prime for years now! I knew they were in crumby condition but when compared to how they look now I didn’t realize how bad they had gotten!
It’s definitely scary seeing it go on! It’s like watery paint! But then the water dried and just the color is left. I did two couches and it took a little over an hour for each one. A large bottle (yes it needs lots of layers but not as much when covering lighter colors) it lasted for both couches but not the backside of the one against the wall so I’m getting another small bottle to finish.
Overall it’s amazing!! Texture after feels chalky at first when compared to the greasy old seats but already smoother after a day. Maybe it’s nice with the clear sealer but I way prefer a matte finish so I won’t be using the clear coat.
I’m trying to think of all the other couches I can do this to now!!

I can’t say enough about this product and the repair kit. I have a 13 year old sofa and love seat that were really showing their age, plus we have a bunny who bite several holes in the seats. I ordered the dye, repair kit, cleaner and sealer. The shipping was super fast too! So I cleaned and prepped my sofas, and this is the point where they looked like I got them from a dumpster🤣 I have to say none of the products had strong odors ( I am chemical sensitive, I didn’t even notice a smell at all). The repair kit was so easy to use, I followed the directions plus watched some videos on YouTube from rub n restore. Once my patches were dry and ready I started dying the couches, it was sooooo easy! It took a couple of hours to do each one because you want to put a few coats on, but the couches didn’t take long to dry at all. I did it right in my living room. The new color “Honey” is FABULOUS! The sample swatch I got was identical to how the couches turned out. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Rub n Restore for making such amazing products, and for taking time to make all the videos to show us how to do this!!

My pontoon boat seats were badly in need of restoration. A couple were severely sun-damaged with a few holes (dog nail damage) that I needed to patch. For all but the most severely damaged, the result was amazing. I need to do more work and/or replace the vinyl in a couple of instances. The picture is before/after on a pad that was pretty sun-burned. On the top/most exposed to sun surfaces, I used the fill to put a thin coat on the entire surface with great results. Thanks for solving at least most of my vinyl problem.
