We purchased rub and restore to help refinish our hideous green leather love seat recliner and recliner. I honestly didn't expect it to work as well as it did. The pictures speak for themselves and we are now keeping our furniture instead of replacing it! It looks even better in person than what I can capture on camera. Everyone is very impressed with the results.

I used this product to cover some stains in my Mototorhome vinyl dash board. It took about 4 coats to cover the stain but it did it! Looks really good and brand new! I recomend this product whole heartedly!

This was so amazing and easy! I was scared to do persimmon, but I love bold colors. It's so beautiful and the clear prep+finish sealed the deal. You have a loyal fan! Thanks!

Anya here from the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Your product was absolutely fabulous. The before picture of the couch is the stock photo from the Urban Outfitters website, and the blue is the couch after its Rub n' Restore spa day in our shop. It went on so smoothly; I applied Storm Blue with a gravity gun (cutting in with an artist brush as advised), and the finish was perfect. The set designer loved the color and the sheen. Rub n' Restore saved the day! Thank you for all your tips and tricks, the whole process was lovely, from start to finish.

I brought 16 oz. of the ash to dye a tufted sofa that was originally butter cream. The process was extremely simple and fool proof. So simple that I allowed my 6 year old daughter dye the seat cushion while I did the rest. After four coats I had a beautifully even finish. I dyed the sofa 3 months ago and have no complaints.

I had two old hunter green leather chairs and 1 old brown sofa. I dyed them black and it was amazing! I have brand new furniture for the cost of 1 bottle of dye. Excellent, excellent product!

It started with my husbands 20 year old navy lazy boy that he just wouldnt let go of- but it didnt go with anything. So I said I bet I can dye it or change the color. They all said I couldnt do it- I went on line and found serveral great comments about Rub N Restore. I purchased a bottle with the idea that if it didnt work, I would at least get rid of the old chair. I choose a weekend while he was gone, and WOW! It was exactally what they said. The first coat went on great and the second was even better. By the time I put the coat of conditioner on it was AMAZING. I am such a great fan, I just finished my second leather recl...More

I am such a great fan, I just finished my second leather recliner.

I have told all of my friends. I will never look at an ugly leather chair or sofa the same way- now I just say "Rub N Restore"

I closely followed all the directions and watched the videos before starting the project. After the leather color was applied and dried, I used just one coat of "Clear prep + finish". It gave a wonderful new looking sheen to the leather as if it had just come from the manufacturer. I am very happy with the results.

This goes on exactly like the video shows with no tricks or problems. Simply put it on with a damp sponge, so the only tools used were a pail of water, and a new sponge. It really is so easy anyone can do it. My recliner now looks like new again.

Just finished one of my chairs and am very impressed with the product.
The color was perfect, easy to use. The ottomans that I finished two weeks ago seem to be holding up fine.

I had a great experience when ordering this product. I called to ask about ordering samples. The person I talked to on the phone was knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. The samples were sent out quickly. Once I decided on a color, it came quickly. I viewed the video on how to use the product. It looked too good to be true, but it was not. I used 2 light coats and the chair looks like new. I would definitely recommend this product.

This product was easy to use, and you only need a small amount. I did not use it as a top coat as it has a slight shine to it and my leather has a matte or dull finish.

I found this product searching Youtube, It seemed too good to be true so I thought I would try it before I pitched my couch and love seat.
With 2 large dogs buying new furniture for them to destroy made no sense.
My wife was amazed and immediately posted pictures on Facebook where friends inquired how I restored our couches.
Great product, highly recommended for anyone with pets that may have damaged the coloring and finish.
Thank you Rub N' Restore you saved me a lot of $$$$$

I have never before found a product I would write a letter about. I purchased Rub n’ Restore a couple of months ago and was quite skeptical. I had it sitting around while I equivocated if it was too good to be true and my sofa was just going to be ruined. Yesterday, I decided, it was time and I mercilessly cleaned the sofa. Today, was time to bite the bullet and start the re-dyeing process. I can not be more pleased!! My sofa went from ready to toss to looking brand new, and it was easy! I can’t say enough good things about Rub n’ Restore and thank you for such a terrific product!! History of this sofa…my parents gave us the sofa because whe...More

I can’t say enough good things about Rub n’ Restore and thank you for such a terrific product!!

History of this sofa…my parents gave us the sofa because when they got it there was a scratch and after the store repaired it, it still was flawed, so they had it reupholstered with pleather (I still call it naugahyde.) The color did not match at all and my Mom covered the back with 2 throws. She couldn’t stand it and bought another Natuzzi leather sectional and gave us this one. Well, we have 5 herding dogs and believe our dogs live with us and are allowed on the sofas, but time and use take their toll. THANK YOU RUB N’ RESTORE!
