I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures of the before & after on a couch I recently refurbished using your products. I purchased a small white leather couch for my office from Craigslist, it was FILTHY to say the least (listed for $50, but when the gentleman selling it saw how hard I would have to work to get it clean, the price went down to $25!) but I bought it anyway because it had good bones and I knew I could do something with it.   I won't repeat the snickering comments from my co-workers when I brought the couch into my workplace, but let's just say that it looked even WORSE in our flourescent lighting, and my office is a plac...More
I just wanted to send you a couple of pictures of the before & after on a couch I recently refurbished using your products. I purchased a small white leather couch for my office from Craigslist, it was FILTHY to say the least (listed for $50, but when the gentleman selling it saw how hard I would have to work to get it clean, the price went down to $25!) but I bought it anyway because it had good bones and I knew I could do something with it.
 
I won't repeat the snickering comments from my co-workers when I brought the couch into my workplace, but let's just say that it looked even WORSE in our flourescent lighting, and my office is a place of no-holds-barred teasing when warranted...and they let loose on me (and my poor little couch) with a vengence!
 
I had some idea that I could stain it if it wouldn't come clean (which, of course it wouldn't, even after serious scrubbing) but wasn't sure what to use. A search on the internet brought me to your youtube video, and thence to your website where with hope in my heart I purchased the Espresso color and the Clear Prep - Finish.
 
Application was a breeze, goof-proof to say the least! We have two dogs in our office and even without the topcoat they barely made a scratch in the color after 6 coats (and when they did I just touched it up). It is a beautiful couch now and I can't tell you how pleased I am that it has been "Rubbed and Restored".
 
A picture is worth a thousand words, you can see the results with & without the top coat. It is FABULOUS! Everyone in my office is eating their words and asking about your product. They are all just AMAZED at the transformation and I will be singing your praises for all time!
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our $20 Craigslist find has transformed from a dingy 80s green monster to a piece we love.

I purchased the Walnut color for a black leather loveseat that we had. The instructions were easy to follow and the product truly works like magic! It took 3 coats to turn my black loveseat into the pretty walnut color. I love it! It looks like a completely different piece of furniture and I couldn't believe how easy it was to apply! Would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to improve the look of their furniture.

I admit, I was a bit skeptical when we purchased the Rub n Restore system, but with the results we've had I would recommend this to anyone looking to restore/dye leather furniture. 5 Stars!!!

I just restored my vinyl top on my 90 Coupe Devile. This product will seal the surface so you will use less product to cover the project. The vinyl was in sad shape it tore through 2 sponges to apply the primer because the surface was so rough. Use a real sponge and wet it as directed and blot the primer on so you can spread it evenly. I used this as a primer coat and a finish coat to seal it. An 8 oz. bottle along with an 8 oz. bottle of color will do the job. The people are great and very helpful.
Buy thier product's they work!!!!

I watched the instructional video before purchasing. It was really as easy as the demonstration. I bought the small bottle and started with an ottoman before the large chair and sofa. Can't wait to get started on the next pieces. The color was very close to the original color of the furniture. I did this to show my husband that I can change the color of my living room furniture that is an off white color. I want to make it darker.

Worked great in covering a few mistery spots. I put on several coats to make sure it was covered and to deepen the color. Pretty amazing !

Six years ago, I purchased a vinyl beige sofa and a lounge chair. I don’t know what happened, but the surfaces of the vinyl began turning green a couple of years ago, even though I had only used mild cleansers to clean the furniture. Visitors to my residence began remarking on the unusual/awful color of my sofa and chair. I tried many methods and couldn’t recapture the original color of this furniture. But the actual physical quality of the furniture was great. The color had deteriorated so badly that I needed to either replace the furniture, at a cost of about $800 or find another solution.

Six years ago, I purchased a vinyl beige sofa and a lounge chair.

Visitors to my residence began remarking on the unusual/awful color of my sofa and chair. I tried many methods and couldn’t recapture the original color of this furniture. But the actual physical quality of the furniture was great.

The color had deteriorated so badly that I needed to either replace the furniture, at a cost of about $800 or find another solution. So, I searched the internet for a solution and stumbled upon Rub n Restore’s site. I viewed a ‘youtube’ video of your dye being applied to a sofa and thought that, if this is true, it could save me a lot of money.

While being credulous, I ordered your beige dye and applied two coats to both my sofa and chair. Later, I applied one coat of your clear prep. The total time that it took me to restore my furniture, with your products was about 4 hours and the process was easy. I must say that your product was all that you advertised that it would be. My sofa and chair now look like new, when purchased. I must say that all your advertisements/promises for your dye and clear prep products were true. I am very happy and thank you.

Rub 'n Restore is like magic! Your product really works. I did my chairs in October [2013], and I'm still happy with the result 3 months later.

I ordered this product at 3pm mid-week and I was so surprised that it was on my desk the next day. Given I live in the same state....still that was incredible! The Dye worked as it was advertised and per the videos. Thank you very much.

This project was SO EASY. It took about 20 minutes to stain both chairs and another 15 minutes to apply the clear sealing coat. Vinyl furniture will never intimidate me ever again. I don't know how many times I've passed up a cute piece of furniture because it was the wrong color. Well, not anymore. This stuff, it's magic. And not only is it for furniture, but it can be used on purses, shoes, wallets, etc. The project list is endless.


Kinsey used a mixture of Rust and Camel. Read the entire blog post at Sincerely, Kinsey.
