I have no words for my feelings right now.  I inherited my Dad’s office chair from my sister. My husband and I just remodeled his office since most of his classes are online now.  We decided he needed a real office chair. We considered getting rid of it, but I could not part with it.  I got a quote from a local furniture restoration shop.  They said it couldn’t be restored.  They could reupholster it for $1500. I found Rub 'n Restore online with a product that promised to restore it to almost new. I cleaned it, applied the first coat of the leather restoring product (camel), but the color was not even close. I contacted the com...More

I cleaned it, applied the first coat of the leather restoring product (camel), but the color was not even close.

I contacted the company and they sent me two leather samples and directions on how to mix two colors to get the color I wanted (honey). I mixed cognac with the camel to get a honey color.

TA DA!!! Dad’s chair looks like new.  Total cost $80 compared to $1500.

I just wanted to say thank you for the great product I received. I watched your video, read the instructions and restored my used $30 steering wheel to nearly new condition.

It's amazing to see the results I had on my first try at this. When you get future orders from Orlando there is a good chance they are from people that have seen my results.

Best wishes for a great future !

I love love your product. We bought the furniture used knowing of the spots. It is high end leather and we thought we could clean it up. And that did not happen. I found your product on line and we love the results. I an am older female and was still able to do it all by myself. Thank you so much.

We’re moved and have been using the chair and couch for a couple of weeks. Everyone thinks I bought a new set! I couldn’t be more pleased! I love it!  I would recommend and have to anyone needing a color change. Thank you for all your advice and videos. That made it so easy to do!

I can’t say enough good things about thenRun’nRestore products. While trying to clean a stubborn soiled spot on a leather couch cushion I left a cloth soaked in a strong household cleaner on the cushion for 30 minutes to “soften the soiled area and make the clean up easier. To my horror when I removed the moistened cloth it had completely removed all the color, leaving a large white area in the shape of the cloth. The Rub’nRestore product worked GREAT! I just followed the directions, application and cleanup was easy, the whole process of cleaning, priming, color application , drying between coats of color , and clean up took less than 45...More

I highly recommend the product. The results looks good as new, even managed to very quickly touch up several worn spots on two marching chairs, it definitely saved me the cost of a replacement couch!

Let me start by saying I never leave reviews... I found this product by doing a search on Google. Our leather set was 14 years old and as you can see by the pictures it looked every bit its age! Still, I was extremely skeptical and terrified I would ruin our furniture. However, After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures I decided to give it a shot. What I found after using this product still amazes me! I bought the 16 ounce bottle in Espresso and the clean and prep. I have about 1/4 of the bottle left! So glad I took a leap of faith!!!

Love, love, love...the color, how easy and fun it was to use. We loved this 15 year old recliner chair +1/2 but it didn’t match anything or any room in the house. Rub ‘n Restore saved it’s life!

I'm sorry I don't have pics, but the whole process of repairing a LARGE hole using the Sub-Patch Kit, the Leather Filler and Vinyl Repair Compound, Mahogany Vinyl & Leather Finish, and then coloring it and and using the Clear Prep + Finish and Sealer was AMAZING!!! My couch and chairs look restored and happy. One thing to note is that the dye goes a long way. I ordered the largest bottle thinking I would need it for a couch and 2 side chairs. I could have easily ordered the small and have most of the bottle left over. I suppose if I were changing color I might have used more, but it was WAY too much.

I could have easily ordered the small and have most of the bottle left over. I suppose if I were changing color I might have used more, but it was WAY too much. I used 1/2 a large container of the Vinyl Repair Compound and I may go back and use more of it to fill in scratches so that was well worth it. It dries clear and feels a bit sticky like when dry, but the Clear Prep Finish over the Compound makes that feeling go away and leaves a really lovely patina on the leather. It was very empowering to know I could fix the couch and chairs that my dogs had loved to (almost) death and bring it back to full life!!
