Customer Reviews & Photos of Rub 'n Restore®
Excellent Results
My cats had all but destroyed my bar stools and I thought they were a lost cause but now they look like new. The Rub and Restore products are excellent and so easy to use that I have ordered more colors to restore other furniture pieces in my home.
pencil poke after 30 years

good for another 35 years
I am the customer you helped this summer to determine what products would best remedy a 30 year old pencil stab poke hole in our ottoman. I finished the project last month and decided I wanted to convey to you how happy I am with the outcome.
Please let Jane know the color match was outstanding. She is a true artist to dial in the correct tone and hues. From your videos I realize you, too, are an artist from the work you accomplish with different resins, acrylics and texture products.

The color match blended in so well, that instead of having to dye an entire seat cushion or back or chair, I could spot treat and it blended in to perfection. The before and after pics are: (1) of the pencil poke in center of ottoman, (2) the after results, (3) the rolled piping seat edges that showed over 35 years of wear and crack lines in the flat of the cushion and (4) the after pic of chairs. It all just came back to life and looks great!!!
The chairs & ottoman are 35 years old and got such a great 'facelift'. They are good to go for another 35 years. The color match charge was so worth the final result. Thank you ever so much for all of your help and for 'teaching an old dog new tricks'.

Amazing color match and customer service!
Lesandre was so patient with me with all my questions and frustration. I wish I would’ve reached out to her prior to my first attempt . Anyway, I sent her a pic and she sent me some swatches and help me pick the right color with links on instructions how to fix my issue. The finished couch looks awesome and you cannot even tell where we did the repair. I now feel confident to do a few more minor touchups from wear:)the product and support from this company are phenomenal!

brand new!
I just wanted to thank you for helping me get my order shipped on time. I received it the next day and just in time to finish my sofa before I had to leave. Thank you for taking the time to help me out and make it happen! Here is a photo of the finished result. I bought the sofa for $100 and it was covered in cat scratches and claw marks. now it looks brand new! Thank you!
Great product
We used it on an old leather chair that we had gotten for free. The Chair's bones were good but the leather had become discolored in places. After using the Rub n' Restore products on it, it looks great. All the products were easy to use and the directions were easy to follow.
My friend was impressed with my 'new' boat. This was the perfect nudge to get him going on his.
Outstanding company!
I used rub and restore for the first time and was not disappointed! The product is excellent and the company is very responsive. I will absolutely use this prob again and am recommending it to friends.

Awesome product
I was gonna have to get new white leather couches for my Airbnb. I gave a final last stitch up with this product and my couches. Look brand new. It took this product and a lot of elbow grease but I am very satisfied.

We love the new color on our sofa and chair! Thank you!
Refreshing Re-fresh
Product went on smoothly and quickly with a sponge. Our hot-tub cover has seen many years of sun and this has sealed in the many imperfections. Thank you!

Great product. Very easy to use. I applied two coats using a damp sponge.
Worth it! Cleans great
Almost didnt buy, thought I could use any cleaner. Glad I did, worked great and product seems to have created a great base for the stain. My hot tub cover looks brand new

Taupe to brown
I loved using this product. can't speak more highly of it. it saved a terrible Facebook marketplace purchase!
Thanks, Robin! It wasn't a terrible purchase! On the contrary, a quality semi-aniline leather (and probably for cheap)! Thank you, and hope you love it a long time.
Great product, I’ve use it before

75+ Year old "Easy" Chair
Love how it turned out. Took about 3 hours to clean and paint. Went from dark hunter green to stone. Here's my before and after pics.
Hot tub cover
Easy to apply and looks (almost) new, but very happy and expect many more years of use out of my cover!

Chairs Are Like New
We had a pair of 9 year old, high-end leather recliners made by Bernhardt that had heavy wear in the seat, back and arms of all the "touch areas". We could not find anyone locally to fix these so I went on-line and found Rub'nRestore. I bought the materials, watched the videos and restored the chairs. Leandra was also very helpful in answering some questions. Both chairs now look like brand new and we actually like the color (Cinnamon) better than the original color.
These are the ivory, beige, Storm Blue, Sand, anc Camel with the 3 colors of the upholstery

Amazing!! Color changed my couch in just 2 coats!
Like the title says, in 2 coats I achieved a complete color change and the exact effect I wanted. We got a very nice couch from a friend for a deal. Only one problem- it was grey! Nothing wrong with grey couches, but it was not going to go with our classic, movie and bar room! I found this product from an old YouTube video and thought it was too good to be true. I ended up researching and seeing all of the amazing reviews, so I decided to buy it. Best decision I’ve made!

Rub n restore comes in a variety of colors. I was so excited to see that we could completely change the color of our couch with no hassle. Chocolate is the perfect medium-dark brown that has deep red undertones. It contrasts perfectly with our green walls.
I really wanted to achieve a slightly worn finish. I didn’t want it too perfect. I combined my first coat with 3/4 chocolate and 1/4 clear coat. I spent this coat getting full coverage and rubbing in the same direction all around. My second (and final coat) I did half chocolate and half clear coat. This coat I rubbed in circles and sporadically to add more texture, while filling in any gaps. The result is PERFECT!! I am sooo happy I chose this product. It dries extremely quickly and has not scuffed at all, even with several dogs, cats, and humans! If you’re on the fence, this is your sign to paint your couch!!!

Changed from Awful to AWESOME!
Our leather sofa started out as a pearl gray color. When I tired of the gray and our dogs had scraped a bit of the finish off from wet feet, I decided to paint it a camel color. After doing a bit of research I found that others had successfully used wall paint, so I tried it. But it felt like paper, began cracking in creases and scraping off. Besides that, I hated the color! I resisted going to Rub ‘n Restore as I didn’t want to admit that I had used wall paint. I then thought I ‘d try Angelus paints. I sanded the paint, wiped it off with 90% alcohol, Angelus acetone and alcohol mixture. I painted an area, but didn’t like the look or feel of ...More

Finally, I decided to call Rub ‘n Restore and admitted to C.C. What I did. She was very forgiving and said that leather is very hardy and that I had probably done enough for their paint to work. I decided on the color Butterscotch. And after 5 thin coats of it and less than one 16 ounce bottle of the color it is complete and AWESOME! I have gotten so many compliments on it and several people thinking of trying Rub ‘n Restore!

I am so glad I bought this product it works great. It is definitely time consuming, but has made my boat look good again. I am about to order the sealer.

Fantastic product and solution. The vinyl in our 22 year old patio boat was really bad. I got a custom color match that was beyond good. I didn’t even need to do whole sections. The color match was perfect. This restoration helped me sell the boat quickly and for more money that I had assumed.
I was in the commercial/industrial paint and coatings business for my whole career and this product was an amazing solution. The before and after pictures speak for themselves. The customer service and support was terrific. These folks know their business!

Great product
Took a chance on this to lighten 2 leather recliners with a wood base and ottomans. worked great, 2 coats, and I still have a quarter bottle left. no waxy, or flaky finish, excellent absorption. would recommend using a spray bottle for stitching, my sponge had a tough time getting all the little parts. one photo shows color change from white cream original with chair in the left.

Exactly what I hoped it would be!
I purchased a lovely twenty year old full-grain leather couch. It had faded to a butterscotch color, so I used Chocolate RubNRestore to darken it to fit in with our other furniture. It was easy and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result.
