Aniline leather project
I had a beautiful aniline leather couch that was in my sunroom/grandkid playroom. I have 13 grandkids so it went through a lot of abuse. They would spill food and drinks on it and the sun just bleached it to the color of sand (sorry I forgot to take before pictures). I was afraid to redo it for a long time because the website said not to. Then I saw a review of someone who did redo theirs. I thought I might as well give it a try because it was trashed anyway. It was so dry before I cleaned it but after the alcohol cleaning it was bone dry so I decided to condition it before hand. I didn’t have anything for couches but they sold me some mink o...More
I had a beautiful aniline leather couch that was in my sunroom/grandkid playroom. I have 13 grandkids so it went through a lot of abuse.

I was afraid to redo it for a long time because the website said not to. Then I saw a review of someone who did redo theirs. I thought I might as well give it a try because it was trashed anyway. It was so dry before I cleaned it but after the alcohol cleaning it was bone dry so I decided to condition it before hand. I didn’t have anything for couches but they sold me some mink oil when I bought a pair of cowboy boots for waterproofing so I decided why not. It looked amazing after applying the mink oil but it didn’t help where they had wrote all over it with markers. I used the cinnamon finish mixed 75% to 25% with the satin finish. My family was amazed at how good it came out. I also did a recliner someone had given me but didn’t match any of the furniture in the room. Now my room looks more pulled together. I’m really impressed with how it turned out. The pictures don’t really do it justice because it’s cloudy outside and the lighting is not as good as normal.

Amazing
I'm lucky to know the owners. I found this couch on the curb, and we made it look brand new. I turned it around and sold it for a few hundred bucks!
How's THAT look? Very dramatic.

Here I go again!!!
Hi. Last month I posted a review of a Rub'n Restore project on a boat that went from totally ruined to beautiful. My current project is a 20 year old Bayliner where the interior was never taken care of. As the stereo/electronics installer at a boat shop, and always up for a challenge, I used my new-found knowledge of interior restoration and went for it again. Needless to say, the end result is equally as impressive as my first time I used your product. The before and after photos say it all. My only regret is that I wish I took a photo of the first cushion I did before I thoroughly cleaned it. It was twice as dark as the current phot...More

This boat is now for sale, and it looks amazing. Thanks again. I can't wait to do boat #3.

67 Corvette vinyl soft top restoration
Just finished using Marine White Rub n Restore product on the vinyl convertible top on my 1967 Corvette. Top was installed in 1983, original white color was slowly fading and vinyl surface was becoming somewhat stiff. I did 4 thin coats of Marine White letting each coat dry for 24 hrs. Used a small sponge to apply on almost all areas and a small brush in the very tight spots . It was helpful to apply with the sponge in different directions due to the grainy surface of the top. It was easy to clean up the white color that found its way onto the weather stripping using a damp cloth with mild soap. I did not use the clear prep sealer on th...More
Just finished using Marine White Rub n Restore product on the vinyl convertible top on my 1967 Corvette. Top was installed in 1983, original white color was slowly fading and vinyl surface was becoming somewhat stiff. I did 4 thin coats of Marine White letting each coat dry for 24 hrs. Used a small sponge to apply on almost all areas and a small brush in the very tight spots . It was helpful to apply with the sponge in different directions due to the grainy surface of the top. It was easy to clean up the white color that found its way onto the weather stripping using a damp cloth with mild soap. I did not use the clear prep sealer on the final coat because I wanted a "flat" finish. Extremely pleased with the result. Color coverage is great and vinyl feels soft and healthy now. The Marine White I used was left over from my original restoration project on my white vinyl seats from 4 years ago. The seats look terrific after 4 years. I am very pleased with the quality of this product and the various instructional videos of how to use. Thank you!!

Looks Great!!
We used marine white and storm blue colors on our 20 year old pontoon boat seats. It looks great. We followed the directions for cleaning 1st with rub & restore Flite. We put on 3 or 4 coats of the white & it covered all the dark moldy spots-the seats look new!! We used a small paint brush and that worked better for us than a sponge or cloth. We love it and so glad we found this product. We saved about $5,000 in not having to recover the seats!!

I haven’t had to use the product yet but I want to have it available when I do. I used a different color a couple years ago on my leather couch and it was amazing. I now have a little wear on the front seat of my car and I want to be ready. Makes leather look like new!!

Amazing and outstanding product and service!
The Rub n Restore products are unbelievable! I’ve refinished leather before with mixed results using other products.

My expensive flexsteel leather sofas came out so well, my wife decided we were keeping them both (apologies to our son Alec who wanted them).

The finish looks factory applied. Previous wear and scratches just disappeared.

The instructions and videos make it easy. Clean up involved tossing some sponges and rinsing a bowl.

I can no recommend Rub n Restore enough. Thank you again!

Your product saved my Ass
I do stereos in boats for a boat repair shop in Southern California. I was doing a sound system on a boat that I had parked under a cottonwood tree for shade (as it was 110 degrees at the time. After a Labor day vacation, I discovered that cottonwood trees drop a severely high stain pollen, creating thousands of yellow spots that would not scrub off (and I used everything, including lacquer thinner and acetone with no success). I was sick, as I thought that I ruined this boat. Searching the internet for a solution, I discovered Rub N' Restore. I shipped a seat cushion to them, they confirmed my issues, and then recommended a 16 oz bottle...More

After a Labor day vacation, I discovered that cottonwood trees drop a severely high stain pollen, creating thousands of yellow spots that would not scrub off (and I used everything, including lacquer thinner and acetone with no success). I was sick, as I thought that I ruined this boat. Searching the internet for a solution, I discovered Rub N' Restore. I shipped a seat cushion to them, they confirmed my issues, and then recommended a 16 oz bottle of Marine White with their cleaner. I oppted to spray the interior as opposed to using a sponge or brush. I bought a $30 HVLP mini spray gun at Harbor Freight, rescrubbed the interior thoroughly, and went to work. The end result is dramatic. The interior not only looks brand new, but the vinyls feels like it was never painted or dyed. I found the the best way to apply with an HVLP spray gun is to shoot it slightly wet, and a not to heavy coat. It dried unusually fast, and did not have a ry feel to it. You guys save me thousands. Even the upholsterer at the boat repair shop was impressed. I can't wait for the owner of the boat to see the results. The even better part is that I am going to do 2 more boats for the boat repair shop, and I am going to make money doing it. Rub n' Restore is now one of my suppliers that I plan to use often. Thanks for all of your help

Better than perfect!
We went looking for a new couch for months but couldn't find anything to match the leather quality, shape, and lustrous terra cotta hue of our tired sectional of 25 years. RNR color matching gave us our couch back and more....honestly like a new couch was delivered to our door! We'll let the pictures do the talking. Don't wait, my friend, this is the real deal!

Rub 'n Restore really does work, it's easy to use and cost is minimal. I changed the color of my pleather ottoman and I'm really happy with the result!

So amazing! Like New!
I was hoping this product would make my sofa and love seat “good enough” that I wouldn’t have to replace them for a year or so. I was blown away that my 20 year old furniture looks new! The color was a near perfect match!
