Customer Reviews & Photos of Rub 'n Restore®

We recently moved long distance choosing to save only a few pieces of furniture. This included our leather sofa and ottoman. The brown color went great with our old house with all warm tones, but in the new house all done with cool tones, it really looked out of place. I really didn’t want to buy new just because of the color, so did a lot of research online & found your product. I took advantage of your customer service to get your opinion on the pet damage & discoloration plus advice on how much to buy, even received samples for the color selection. I also watched multiple videos on the application process, both those offered by RubnRestore, as well as some YouTube ones. One of the YouTube videos stresses not skipping the surface prep (same as on your website) and seems like most of the negative reviews on your product are from people who did not do the necessary prep and research. Yes, it took time to do the cleaning and repair steps, but it paid off with what looks like a new sofa and ottoman that look like they were designed for our new home. The recommended amount provided full coverage with plenty left for any repair. I did the ottoman first about 6 months ago to see how the product worked and held up before moving to the sofa. Not a scratch or sign of fading. I was also happy to be able to choose the gloss level in using the clear seal product on the final coat. Thanks to customer service for all your help and to RubNRestore for such a great product!

I was able to revive a set of vintage vinyl chairs by using the black dye on the top portion of the chairs.

I will say, it was important to use alcohol and the Flite cleaner to get these filthy chairs prepped. I had previously cleaned them with mild soap, but Flite really picked up so much more! I also used the filler and denim patches that I purchased from Amazon to fill in the bigger tears. I didn't do a professional job here, but it still made a big difference.

When it was time to color, we took the chairs apart, since I didn't want to get black on the original Mustard colored seats. Then I used a foam brush to apply (although that is not recommended). It took about 3 coats to cover the mustard with black.

I used the clear prep + primer alone over the black and it was really sticky after drying. Lesandre advised to mix the color and the clear to remedy. That did the trick.

So in conclusion, the chairs are not perfect (largely due to my inexperience), but what a transformation! Great products for restoring and changing the color of vinyl furniture!

Let me start with my skepticism about painting furniture. We went furniture shopping and got sticker shock the moment we walked into one those “outlets.” We weren’t impressed with the quality and options that were available. “They don’t make them like they used to” is definitely in play here. With the power of the internet, I googled other approaches and found your product rub-n-restore. Read the reviews, watched the videos and ordered the marine white. I have to be honest, I didn’t set the bar too high, and was not sure what to expect. Our lazy boy is almost 30 years old, chocolate brown in color. It’s a good quality chair, comfortable, with no issues, except for the dark color, I wanted an updated look. The process was long, it took us about 6 hours to complete, and after the third coat I was really doubting our decision. It took about 6 coats before I started to see some hope. About 8-10 coats (lost count) into it, we saw it! Thank you for creating this product that turned our well loved recliner into a newer updated version. The compliments we get from family and friends are amazing, they think we got a new chair. We are going to wait to see how it wears after a while before we tackle our coach.
