I found that the product did exactly as advertised. We received great results in refinishing an old white leather sectional. We ended up using just over 16oz of the product. The unexpected part was how time consuming this process actually was. The videos make it appear very simple and fast. While it is easy it takes much more effort that shown. We even attempted to use the Preval Sprayer (Which failed miserably, do not buy these things they don't work. Ended up getting more dye on my hands then coming out of the nozzle.)

Overall we are very satisfied with the outcome although we still have a few small spots that apparently did not get enough dye.

After exhausting searches for a reasonable re-upholsterer and or lsome one to dye my badly stained leather living room set. I saw a youtube video featuring Rub n restore and my family and I could not be any happier. I was contemplating purchasing new furniture and trashing my current furniture and I am so glad I found this product!

Ok, I guess not everyone is into living with bright, in-your-face color in their house. But, I like to kick it up a notch with my spice weasel and live a bit dangerous when it comes to color at mi casa. Earthtones are dead to me. I can definitely say that Rub n Restore's Turquoise is super amazing. I used 50/50 mix with Prep+Finish in the last two coats and the couch looks like a turquoise jewel.. Everyone wants to sit in it and feel the shiny turquoise flesh against their bodies.

I recently took my cognac leather couch and loveseat and dyed it black. The coverage was awesome and the process was so easy.

Bought the storm blue and beige. My leather furniture is 11 yrs old and with numerous cleanings the color had worn away looking dirty. I followed the directions and the new colors completely covered the worn areas. The furniture looks new and have received many compliments. The storm blue is not navy but a vivid bright blue which looks great with my southern coastal decor. Used the clear prep and finish and and it made the colors pop with a beautiful shine. Goes a long way so I will be returning the unused bottles. Just try it you can't go wrong.

I made a glaze by mixing the clear conditioner with cognac color for my aniline leather chairs and ottoman. I am thrilled! They look so good! And it was so easy!

I received your products today and couldn't wait to get started. I was only able to do the seat cushions and ottoman tonight, but those are what needed the most work. I am thrilled! They look so good! The cognac color worked perfectly for my saddle-colored aniline. I love it. And it was so easy! I'm going to do the chairs tomorrow to get the color to match the cushions and ottoman. Thank you so much!

We bought a salvaged leather chair for $50 and it had discolored spots all over the arms. My daughter wanted it for her room if we could change it to white. It took 2 days but I finally finished it. I had to use some clear finish where the white didn't want to take in some spots and I lost track of how many coats after about 14. lol I still have 1/4 a bottle left possibly a little more. My daughter loves it and over all I am thrilled with her new chair. The tech support and customer service helped tremendously and ensured that my project was a success on what I am told is the hardest color change to do.

I really love the sealant! I used it on all my leather chairs, and it made them look awesome!

We are beyond satisfied with Rub 'n Restore products. We changed our brown 12 foot couch to black and it looks fantastic.

Great product that restored our heavily sun damaged leather cushions to a nice, even black color.
Easy to use. We put 2 thin (thinned with water) coats on the most damaged areas and had a even color in the end. Use the sealer to add a sheen.

My friend was betting that your product would be some kind of rip-off and I would be crying with a ruined sofa, but holy cow! I can't wait for her to see it. I am in the process of re-doing the house and wanted a new leather sofa. We went to yard sales last Saturday, and this one (really nice) house was having a moving sale. The lady said that she had a sofa that they were selling for $150, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was coming home. It was the exact style that I wanted. It is vinyl, rather than leather, but it must have been an expensive sofa because it is not some cheap vinyl thing. It was taupe, which really isn't my color, but ...More

I am in the process of re-doing the house and wanted a new leather sofa. We went to yard sales last Saturday, and this one (really nice) house was having a moving sale.

The lady said that she had a sofa that they were selling for $150, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was coming home. It was the exact style that I wanted. It is vinyl, rather than leather, but it must have been an expensive sofa because it is not some cheap vinyl thing. It was taupe, which really isn't my color, but I knew it was meant to be mine.

I immediately started wondering if I could somehow dye the sofa either gray or black. I came upon your product and watched the video where you turned the dark green chair tan. Well, the charcoal colored dye came today and I got to work immediately. Right away, I knew I had a winner. The sofa looks great! Thank goodness I had taken a "before" picture because no one would believe the difference. Seriously, I am just stunned by how great it looks.

Thank you so much. I had budgeted $1,000 for the new sofa and got off for $150 plus the $60 for your product. The sofa is only a year and a half old and I love it - especially in gray. I have to put one more coat on because I missed a few places, but I am delighted with your product.

“I had this worn down and out leather sofa. I was skeptical of this or any product working. I was absolutely blown away with the results.”

I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my chair restoration! I am changing the color scheme of my room and my leather chair was still in good shape. A friend recommended that I dye it rather than get rid of it. I did my research online and read all the wonderful testimonials about Rub'n Restore and decided it was worth trying. After all, if it didn't work, I had planned on getting rid of the chair since it didn't go with my new decor. I absolutely love it!! It took me 2 day and three coats. I used about a quarter of a 16 oz. bottle. I haven't put on the glossy coat yet because I kind of like the satiny finish. Thank you agai...More

People, if you are debating buying this product, I assure it is as good as it looks and easy to do. Almost foolproof. Order it! You won't be sorry!
