I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my chair restoration! I am changing the color scheme of my room and my leather chair was still in good shape. A friend recommended that I dye it rather than get rid of it. I did my research online and read all the wonderful testimonials about Rub'n Restore and decided it was worth trying. After all, if it didn't work, I had planned on getting rid of the chair since it didn't go with my new decor. I absolutely love it!! It took me 2 day and three coats. I used about a quarter of a 16 oz. bottle. I haven't put on the glossy coat yet because I kind of like the satiny finish. Thank you agai...More

People, if you are debating buying this product, I assure it is as good as it looks and easy to do. Almost foolproof. Order it! You won't be sorry!

I recently refurbished a 2007 MX-5 Miata with scuffed and scratched seats. I looked a several products but went with Rub'nRestore because it was Water based and the application video demonstrated the ease of application. I did necessary prep with simple green and alcohol and the process was very easy. I treated the worst panels and seams let dry. I two coated the entire seats, drying between coats. I let the dye cure as directed, and put on the clear coat. Results were Awesome !!
Several club member will be getting their black back in my garage !!

We had a custom color matched and finished with the prep & finish. It was very easy to use and our couches look like new. The entire process was easy to use and looks great . I highly recommend these products.

Had Rub & Restore mix a color for our two couches. The color was matched perfectly. We only did worn areas and it matched. Would highly recommend Rub & Restore. Very simple to use.

I am just thrilled with the results. Such a rich brown color without sacrificing the natural imperfections or "two tone" at all. I used a large sponge, squirted two lines of color and a little less of clear conditioner and went at it. Very happy with OUR results.

Used this on my ancient green leather couch and it now looks like a new black couch! Although it does require quite a bit of time to apply (full size couch with many wrinkles) it is great for those who want an affordable product.

I had an old vinyl chair that was getting sticky from the vinyl breaking down. I didn't have color issues so I just used only the clean prep and finish to restore the top coat and it looks amazing! Plus it is no longer sticky. It has a nice new shine to it and feels like a new chair. Excellent product, I would highly recommend it.

I was recently telling my spouse how much I dispise the overuse of the word "amazing". "If I hear it used one more time, I'll go berserk!". Well hear I go..... Rub N Restore is amazing! We cannot believe our eyes. We purchased an overstuffed couch, loveseat, and chair some 12 years ago for our newly constructed sunroom. Needless to say, the leather on all the pieces had significantly faded due to daily sun exposure and 12 years of use. Spending a Sunday afternoon redying our leather furniture, the results are truely unbelievable. The custom color sent from the swatch of leather originally sent to the company was spot on, and the end result is...More

I was ready to go out and purchase another $3-4,000.00 worth of new furniture. Best $145.00 we've ever spent. I'm a happy man.

I can't say enough good things about this company, it's products and service - I mean that.  After getting a $900 estimate to recover my beloved vintage Lounge chair, I thought I was going to be stuck forever having a bright orange chair that did not match anything in the whole house.  Then I stumbled onto Rub 'N' Restore via the internet.  The results far exceeded my expectations, and my wife and I could not be happier with how this project turned out!  I was also thoroughly impressed and grateful for the incredible service we got from Lesandre and her mom, CC - wow, twice they helped us out on a Sunday with ordering, questions and how-to ad...More

I'll be singing your praises to anyone who'll listen.

The area with the most damage (the center) was very dried and cracked. Although it’s still not silky smooth like the rest of the couch, your product really, really improved the texture. You were spot on regarding color. I think a bit darker would have been ideal, but I’m okay with how it turned out (its growing on me). I am very impressed with your product – it was easy to apply and use and made the sofas look like new. If it weren’t for the damaged areas on the bigger couch, it would really look BRAND new set.

Thanks for your help and a great product!”
