Love this product!
If you follow the directions very carefully, you can get beautiful results when changing color. I will be a customer for life because I donāt think there is another product like this on the market.
Right half of the chair was dusted and vacuumed. Left shows what a thorough scrubbing with denatured alcohol can do.

Thrilled that my 60s era vinyl chair was brought back to life!
This chair came from my inlaws' home. I've always loved the chair (the look and its comfort), but it was one of my least favorite colors. My husband moved my desk at work and when I realized the chair would be very visible to customers in our gallery, I knew the chair needed help!
I spent time on Google and Amazon. I read reviews of RubnRestore products on the later, then went to the R'nR website to learn more about their products...watch tutorials...and make my purchase.

I spent time on Google and Amazon. I read reviews of RubnRestore products on the later, then went to the R'nR website to learn more about their products...watch tutorials...and make my purchase.
When I learned that vinyl can be tricky to re-color, I knew it would be worth it to "Consult a Pro". And it was absolutely the right decision. Lesandre was extremely helpful. She sent samples of the colors I was thinking about (which I returned), filled a shopping cart on the website with the products she recommended for my project, included clear instructions, and I was ready to go.
I think it took between 8 to 10 hours over several days to clean with alcohol, re-clean with Flite, patch a deep hole, fill smaller holes/splits, paint, dry, and re-paint the chair. But it was all a straightforward process and I am so pleased with the finished chair!!! Now I hope to find more chairs to restore for customer seating.
I knew from Lesandre and my research that changing the color of vinyl is tricky. But the new surface has held up really well to several months of general use, no sign of scuffing from my constant getting up and down or shifting my weight in it. However, the chair's home at my desk is tight fit and the armrests have been scuffed and scraped a bit where they regularly hit the edge of my keyboard desk. But that's my problem/fault, not the Rug'nRestore products's fault. When the scuffs get noticeable from a few feet away, I'll simply re-touch the sites that show wear-and-tear. (Now I'm trying to decide if I want to put the time into refinishing the chrome legs?)
Thank you so much Rub'nRestore! I love that a great old chair could be restored rather than hidden away or thrown away.

Sun faded boat project.
Astounded at how well this project went! The support was incredible!
These used to be brown
Fantastic Product
This is an amazing product. I have used it to refinish an Ekornes Stressless chair and ottoman set, as well as a number of pairs of leather sneakers that I bought on Poshmark or eBay in an off color and dyed them black. The final buff (after curing) is always a fun moment b/c the rag reveals an as-new factory-like finish. One important thing that I learned the hard way is that you have to use deglazer to remove the old finish. You'll be glad you took the extra step.
Useless
The white does not cover as I tried 4 coats on some scuffed vinyl. White shoe polish works 10 times better and is not nearly as transparent as this dye. I'm glad I only ordered the 2 oz. bottle.
fine color coverage, just would like a bit of satin finish, not matte
Before, so faded and sad š

Great products, great results.
I just finished restoring my living room furniture using RubāNāRestore products and instructions. I used the consultation and custom colour match services. I couldnāt be happier (or prouder) with the results. Honestly I was a bit intimidated to actually start this project, but with the written and video guidance it was a great success!!
I highly recommend RubāNāRestore if you want to revitalize your faded leather furniture.

Clear Prep and Seal totally rocks!
Our aniline sofa and love seat are decades old and should, by all rights, be replaced. But, since we have our daughters's family, with 7 children 13 and under, living with us, wedo not think that this would be a wise investment. So, I clean and re-seal the furniture about twice a year and it keeps on serving our needs. They look FANTASTIC just after I sealing them and when they look old and worn out I just reapply the clear seal and they are brand new again! Amazing! I have also learned from the Rub-N-Restore videos how to fix tears and as the leather getts thinner and thinner from the constant wear I just repair the rips and keep on going. I...More

I think I have patched about 4 places so far. Thanx for the great tips and how-tos!

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS SELLER!!!
My chair turned out perfectly. I read the reviews and was not disappointed. Makes me want to color all of my furniture.
In progress
Saved my barstools
Followed the instructions, prepped carefully, and most especially, let each coat dry thoroughly before the next coat. I have some nice expensive barstools. The seats were ugly black vinyl. Now the seats look like expensive leather.
Impressive results
I was nervous to attempt this (changing an ivory leather chair to taupe), but I have to say the initial results are amazing. Looks even and very professional, and the color is an exact match to the sample. The application process was very simple. The only question that remains for me is how it will wear over time!
Did not work for me. Here is the problem.
I suppose this product would work if you want to recolor your entire couch or chair. I only wanted to restore one area, it is incredibly difficult to match the color. This is from them directly telling me this. If you want to send in a swatch they will do their best. I ordered a swatch and the product was not even close. My issue is that they are blaming me after I followed all the instructions. They don't want to give me a refund even though I told them I would return the whole product minus a few drops that didn't match. The product does not really blend with an existing color which was what I hoped it would do. They will blame you if their...More

Did an excellent job refinishing a leather bench with discoloration due to sun damage - required much less liquid than I had anticipated
I used this product to cover dark spots on the upholstery of my pontoon boat. I applied to the back of the seats on true cushions on the top of the pop up changing room. The product worked beautifully!! Covered the dark spots (loss of pigment) perfectly and the color was a good match. I couldnāt be happier with this product!!!
Restored beauty
I can honestly say that I was skeptical about changing the color of my leather chairs but I am absolutely pleased, amazed and loving the outcome thank you so much for making a wonderful product that was easy to use.
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.

I wasn't that impressed with the correction of color and wear on my SUV seats that are leather
Because our colors are not standardized for the hundreds of shades used across the many makes, models, and generations of auto interiors, we recommend customization. If the color didn't hide the damage, then it probably needs some minor resurfacing with filler.

Excellent and amazing product
Beige leather conditioner
Really didnāt see a lot of difference. Filled in cracks temporarily.
There's only so much a new finish can do. Cracks need to be repaired with filler putty. This article has more info.

Miraculous
The kit had everything I needed and very easy to use especially with the instructional videos. I absolutely cannot believe how awesome this product is. It is truly a miracle.
