Customer Reviews & Photos of Rub 'n Restore®
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!

Caren
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!

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.

great product. I did 4 coats in less than 4 hours after complete cleaning. Because of going over a darker color, four coats was necessary. why did I do this? my couch was falling apart and the new one was this color. the Camel color matched perfectly. the chair looks great.
Beat kept secret around!
Wow. I just cannot say enough amazing things about this product. I added the satin sealer and also used the repair kit and included sponge. Definitely watch the instruction videos and print off the written instructions, too. Not that it was hard at all; just super good info to help the process. My chairs looks better today than the day we bought them and now they are the right color! With the price of new chairs today; I am so so glad I tried this option first!!
Amazing!
So glad I purchased this in my package to restore my kitchen chairs. It cleaned them beautifully. The vinyl was softer and more lovely than when they were new.
Slate Grey ?
Easy To Use But Color Is Not “Slate”
I found a video on YouTube that suggested using Rub N Restore. It’s easy to use and covers great!
I would give it 5 Stars but the color I bought, and paid a lot of money for, was NOT like the color Rub N Restore has on their website. I ordered Slate Grey but when I was finished it looks more like their Ash color, which is a really light grey color. For the price they charge I would hope that their colors were more accurate.
P.S. Use this product in a well ventilated area!! I was outside and the product didn’t really have an odor but when I walked away from the job I was really, really high. I haven’t felt like that in decades.

Didn't work for my project
The color was much lighter than the picture indicated and the product way runnier than I expected.
