Customer Reviews & Photos of Rub 'n Restore®
Leather Hassock
A workman placed a bottle of CLR on my hassock and I thought the mark it left ruined it. Thanks to rubnrestore my furniture was saved. I did watch your video on YouTube to give me the confidence to attack the project. They helped a lot. I did have to mix two colors together to get the desired effect. I would highly recommend your product.
Repair
We were very pleased with the results. The color was very close. Next time we will get the clear to give the chair that glossy look. But overall we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Wish we had found you earlier!!!
Better then expected!
This product really works, the texture of the leather is just the same as before too, which is amazing! My mom gave us her older dark (almost black) leather living room furniture, which included a 3 seat couch, oversized chair and ottoman- I am on a budget so I decided to get as much done as I could with the large 70 oz bottle. I was able to apply 2 coats to each piece which alone made a huge difference! I do have a very small amount left in the bottle, but not enough to do a third coat on everything which I think would make it look even better

Easy to apply, beautiful, but does wear
This product was easy to apply, and the result was stunning. My old and very worn burgundy sofa is now cognac colored and looks 10 years newer. It’s receiving so many compliments!
On three of the seat cushions, I used many layers of the filler and two patches, and so far those areas are holding up well. After prepping the entire sofa with denatured alcohol and doing the tape test, I put on 3 layers of a 3/1 paint and gloss mixture and finished with a layer of gloss.
My only disappointment is that on the areas where someone sits at least once a day, the paint has worn off quite a bit and it’s only been 3 weeks (see photos). Fortunately,...More

Awsome
My chair was too red. Changes to brown and worked easily
Wrong shade
Second time I tried, I give up. I am never able to match.
There are hundreds of beige, ivory, and cream colors. We have only three standardized colors, but we can match a color if you send a sample. Learn more about color matching here.
Marine white
Completely satisfied with the result!
Just a trial, color was wrong, hard to tell online. No refunds for anything used.
Returning a $16 bottle of color becomes cost prohibitive due to the shipping expenses. Next time, consider ordering swatches. We would have mailed you some for free had you contacted us.
Leather chair restoration
color match was great. the material is very good to work with. dries faster than anticipated.
The bomb
I had a oil stain in my white boat vinyl sun deck. I scrubbed with everthing including dawn. The stain was there to stay. Then I found your product on instagram. You will never know a stain was there. Everyone, please buy this and you won't be diappointed, for-real you will not lose. I am a regualr consumer and not a spokes person for their product. Now I wished I did a before and after. My friend is getting ready to place an order.
Awesome product!
I previously tried a "coloring balm" for leather from Amazon. It was a huge fail! Rub'nRestore helped me find the perfect match (Tobacco.) I am so pleased with the results I had with Rub'nRestore! I have recommended this to several friends and I am confident they will have great success as well. I'm going to tackle some car leather next. Thank you!
abrasion on corner before
Here are some before and after pictures of my ottoman restoration project. The results were more than expected! I followed the instructions which were easy to follow. It took about 1 1/2 hours to complete. Thanks.
Started with a bad look.

Exceeded Expectations for Ford Restore Project
1999 Ford Expedition Restore. This project was straight forward. The dye is easy to work with and very forgiving. The finished project turned out great.
Sloppy Clumsy Old Guy Performs Miracle
Second time restoring my old leather couch (wife hates it) using rubnrestore Espressso. Originally changed couch and love seat from a light brown (like a baseball glove) to espresso dark brown . Fantastic results. Wore gloves but, being sloppy and in a hurry, I dripped stuff on the wood floor and on my wrists. The cleanup was easy (water based) before the wife got home. I saved the sponges in a plastic bag and use them again (although they are hard a as rock and need a little rinsing) whenever the furniture need touching up. Dries fast so I can resume my job as a couch potato very quickly. Originally thought the stuff would never work but I ...More

Amazing
I had serious doubts as to how I was going to fix a mysterious and sudden spot that showed up on my leather couch. With the help of the experts at Rub N' Restore - my couch is fixed! I can't believe my eyes. See for yourself in my before and after photos 😀 Very happy customer!
AFTER: Chair re-colored to RUST!

What a Transformation!
It was an amazing and simple way to change the color of my leather chair. I'd recommend this process to anyone!
Excellent product and excellent customer service
Great Product
We’ve done a few projects with products from Rub & Restore and have nothing but good things to say. The sealer has kept one office chair in great shape for 3 years now. We just did another chair and skipped the sealer. When the chair rubbed on the wood edge of the desk, paint came off. We ordered the sealer and now the paint stays on. Don’t skip this final step.

Vintage gets new life...and it's AMAZING!
I purchased two vintage leather chairs, in pretty good shape except for some small tears and the leather being an awful "school bus yellow" to start.
Using the repair putty and the leather dye to bring them to a gorgeous wine-burgundy shade...I am so delighted with the result. Finishing them with the Clear Prep & Finish, with a tiny bit of mahogany dye in it was the grande finale to give these chairs their final, gently aged look. Just so happy with the result, that only took on weekend to achieve. These chairs have new life and I have bragging rights to my showroom-worthy results! THANK YOU!!

Cat? What cat?
This recliner shows (almost) no sign of its once having been out cat’s favorite scratching destination. The products shipped the same day as I ordered them and arrived in record time! The repair products, techniques, and videos were top notch and the dye went on beautifully. I did not order a sample swatch but went with marine white based on description alone. It’s rather a cool white and in our very warm living room might not have been the best choice. As reasonably priced as these products are and as easy as they are to use, I’m going to order in the Ivory and possibly re—apply. I think I’ll be happier in the long run and this chair has a l...More

(I learned about Rub N Restore through Facebook Marketplace when I had the recliner listed for sale. It’s my husband's favorite chair but I thought it was beyond hope. This lovely woman who came across my listing introduced me to these products! Thanks to her and Rub N Restore, I deleted the listing and salvaged the chair!)

Rub n Restore worked perfectly
I was skeptical when I first decided to do this project but the staff was extremely helpful and the product worked better than expected. The leather couch was expensive when we bought it and I was worried I would make it worse but It looks better then when we bought it 10 years ago. It was so easy to do. Definitely recommend.

PERFECT MATCH!!
I purchased a new leather sofa, loveseat and ottoman. I wanted an oversized chair and ottoman to match. I was able to find an oversized chair and ottoman same style but not the same color. I searched leather painting and came across Rub ‘n Restore. After seeing the reviews and photos on their website I decided to go with the advanced match custom color option. I highly recommend this option rather than trying to match paint colors off other websites. I am very very happy with the results. It is an exact match and the leather feels no different than before it was painted. I was also able to repair the scratches with the repair kit. Ha...More
