Sooo Happy
I was ready to give away our once beautiful sofa after years of family use. It was badly faded and stained. The sofa also had scratch marks from our dog. We recently remodeled our living room and it looked so out of place. I had refinished another chair with success but felt this sofa project was simply too far gone. I’m soooo happy I gave the product a chance!

Rub n Restore is creamy, pigment rich, easy to apply, and comes in all these beautiful colors. I was really blown away by the application being so easy and the pigment being so creamy and full coverage, as well as drying fairly quickly so you can add more coats in a day if needed. Our project did end up taking several weekends over 2 months letting it cure in between when we were busy. I ended up buying 2 additional small bottles and reaching out for help from the company due to this ash color streaking once it dried down even after at least 4 coats because our climate is very dry and we added some of the matte clear coat to the last coat of paint which was not a good idea. I had to apply at least 4 more coats after that even though we had full coverage and color saturation, but needed more paint to get rid of the tonal streaks. I had also tried adding water to a couple of the coats and lightly spraying water to keep the paint wet while working with it, per recommended steps, which was a bad idea and also created streaks at dry down because my ottoman is very smooth leather and had no texture to the finish. Needed it to be smooth and perfect, which I finally got by adding a few more coats of paint and not using any clear coat at all. Foam sponge also does not work well, had the best results with a sponge wrapped in terry cloth for stain application that we got at Home Depot. Whew! We love it though, we gave new life to a free ottoman but did end up spending less than $100 in paint to do so.

I purchased a used, but well maintained Natuzzi leather couch and love seat. Both pieces had minor, if noticeable blemishes and I did try to match the color via trial and error, which didn't work to my satisfaction. However I decided to send in a small patch that I was able to get at at the bottom of the love seat and while it wasn't the size Rub n' Restore likes to have, they were able to make a PERFECT color match. The set literally looks brand new and I could not be happier. Money well spent and I would recommend this product and company to anyone/everyone. Wow...!
Works GREAT

Refreshed a 20-year-old 7-piece sectional that needed some minor repairs, as well as a better match on a seat cushion and armrest that had been recently replaced by an upholsterer (reds are so hard to match). The project went more quickly and was less messy than I expected. I can't even see where I repaired it. I am so happy with the results! Thanks for offering a product that works so well.

I watched lots of videos , followed all the directions.. but it turned out so awful. Called support and kind of got snubbed off, told to go the sherwin williams and buy the organic colorant to put in the topcoat...
I didnt get great service.. but I did get an email saying they refunded 50 percent of cost.
I really dont know what to say about the product, it wasnt given a chance

Ordering handmade swatches would have avoided your dissatisfaction with the Honey color. We would have mailed them to you for free had you contacted us. We also offer a matching service. We cannot be liable for your choice of color.
Despite being outside the realm of our money-back guarantee, we refunded the cost of the product (but not the international shipping) as a courtesy. We're sorry this remains dissatisfactory to you. We suggest you call a local pro and pay a couple thousand dollars to get the result you desire.

Changed sofa, two chairs and ottoman from light yellow to ash gray. The end result was very good but required 8 to 9 coats. Would use again but would not look forward to the process.

1 of 16oz bottle of stone grey was enough to cover a couch , a love seat and 2 ottomans . It’s easy to apply and the result is fabulous. Our couch is 10 years old . 😃🤩. Thank you very much

This stuff is awesome! I didn’t change the color of my chair-I just wanted to make the color match due to fading. It did exactly what I needed it to. Mind blown! It looks brand new!
I need rub n repair in espresso to touch up my microfiber ( leather look ) sofa.
You might also consider our Mahogany if you haven't already ordered swatches. See here about restoring faux leather fabrics. Yours does not look so far gone yet.

I used the ash grey to tone down the yellowish color of my kitchen chairs. They were almost an almond color and didn’t go well with my granite and backsplash. My chairs only had padded seats, so it was an easy job. I did four thin coats and they came out amazing! I hope they hold up, because they really look beautiful!

I found a high end leather couch on Marketplace for $75. I was in great shape, no holes or tears in the leather but it was pretty worn and sun bleached and had to much orange in the original color for my taste. I wanted to give it a more modern look. I started to research leather restoration products and found RubNRestore! It's AMAAAAZZING!! I'm a DIY nut, I've even reupolstered some of my furniture pieces. This product was so easy to do! I did order color samples and do a color consult, the customer service was great and replies very speedy!! I watched a couple videos of the mottling technique and went for it! I used honey with a little bit of cognac. I love how it turned out! I did run out of product and need to order more to finish under the cushions and cushion sides better. I am going to use the clear prep and seal as the final coat to add some shine, but am so happy about how it turned out! My family and friends can't believe the difference!
Great product!

First and foremost, (unless your color is a primary, i.e. white, black, etc.) I highly recommend you take the time to customize your color. I wanted to restore the vinyl top on my 1988 Rolls Royce. This is not the kind of car you want to screw up a project like this! So I went and got several "paint swatches" from a local big box store and perfectly matched an unfaded section of roof. Sent that swatch in to Lesendra (who's always there to help answer any questions) for a custom color match product, and the rest is beautiful history. After two "rubs" the roof was like new. People commented the car looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor. If you have a similar project, don't hesitate to use this product... it really does do miricles!
Thanks so much, and glad to hear! Jane gets all the credit for formulating the match!
Such a great product
This is the 7th leather couch I have restored using this product and it always produces a professional result!
