Everyone told me I couldn’t stain leather, but you can! Rub n restore is so easy to use. I’ve never done this before but knew I could. Great help on the phone, in instructions and videos. It took less than 3 hours to transform the chair. The oil stain didn’t fully go away, but it looked so good I didn’t want to fully change the color. We liked the faux finish look.
I used alcohol, 2-3 coats of cognac / Prep n finish glaze with a faux finish sponge (keep it damp!), dry in between coats, and 2 coats of Prep n finish. The only negative is that the leather felt a little dry after finishing the process. The second clear coat helped. All in all, so happy! My emerald green sofa will be my next project! And minimal to no odor!! The color looks great!!

I was happy with The results. 2 coats were sufficient . I was expecting more of paste/ lotion . The first application I used the gloves you sent and they were too short and I had dye all over my application hand. The second coat I used longer sturdier rubber gloves and had no stains on me! I would use your products again and refer others to do so . Thanks! What should I use to condition the now treated sofa and chair.

I bought the black dye, it works as advertised. A couple passes over the dried compound was suffice to get the depth of color I needed. However, when I received the package, the cap must not be secured properly and some of the dye had leaked out and dried on the bottle. The spillage happened to be right over the information panel of the label.

Have a weathered vinyl hot tub cover. Was easy to put on and covered well in 2 coats but does nothing to repair the look of the vinyl. All the cracks and lines still present. Would have liked a product that would have given me a smooth surface
Yes, a finish is not a void filler (repair compound). This article has more info specific to resurfacing and filling sun-rotted and desiccated vinyl hot tub covers.

Color changed my front car seats from gray to white. I ended up using entire 8oz bottle. Took several coats before the streaks started disappearing. Product is good though. Might I suggest using a mini foam roller, the smooth kind not the porous ones, for the last two coats to make sure you get a perfect color smooth finish without any streaks. I only rate 4 stars because I saw some tiny cracks only a few days use when I let them dry for about 4 days before using them. Not necessarily blaming the product, maybe i applied too many coats. I only did as much as it needed to cover the streaks. None the less this product is worth the price and is much better than spray on leather paints. It flexes well with the leather where the spray on kind definitely cracks when you push on it.
Nicely done! Color changing to white is the hardest with our type of finish, and we generally discourage it in auto interiors. More about color changing here and troubleshooting the cracks. If you find you need more durability, we can sell you an acrylic-urethane satin sealer that is special order.
I loved it In the beginning but after 2 wk started to fade away so not sure what I did wrong

Great, easy project! It literally is as straightforward as the instructions say. It took three coats to go from dark green to “stone”. I need touch up a couple of spots and still have 1/3 of the large bottle left. Good product, but one star off because it did slightly change the texture of the leather. I’m wondering if it’s because this couch was so soft and squishy to begin with... it’s now a bit less supple. It could soften up with use and curing as well.
Red colored sectional sofa peeling on head rest area. The rest is fine looking to restore.
The likelihood is it's peeling bonded leather (a lousy synthetic that resists its own coating and repairs). But it could be a lousy coating on real leather that merely needs correcting. How to discern the difference here. Also, red is a primary color and almost always needs customization, which entails sending a sample and paying an extra $60 fee.

Overall very pleased with ease of product and out come. When starting out I put the layers on a little too thin should have went a little heavier, I was putting it on more like a wash because I was afraid if putting it on too thick. Did have trouble after I put on the prep, thought I could go back and fix spots I missed and now have lap marks where I tried, over all I am pleased and was easy to work with. Would use again.

The cream was very soft and it did not cure well even after 24h. The result is ok but I was expecting it to be much better.
The filler will take a long time to cure without an additional heat source. We recommend an incandescent bulb or sunshine (see step 5 in the written instructions that come with the filler). Uncured adhesive used in a subpatch or residue on the material prior to application of filler can also prevent proper curing. More info here.

The color dye products work well. I wish there were smaller bottles available for small projects where mixing several stock colors is required, eg. a “sample set” of 3 colors in smaller amounts. Spending nearly $50 for an 8oz. bottle gets expensive very fast. The products are great and are easy to apply. The instructions are good supplemented by YouTube videos, etc. The fast drying moves projects along quickly and redoing is not always required depending on residual dye in the leather.
Thanks for the kind words, Marilyn. Wish we'd known you wanted a smaller quantity, as we do sell 2 oz. and 4 oz. sizes upon special request.

This is the second time we've used the product and we are true believers. First time was on our family room couch and it worked like magic. This time was on my BMW interior. It looks brand new! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the dispenser/bottle leaks like CRAZY and we had quite a mess on our hands and driveway. Once opened, it would not seal again.
Thanks for the glowing review, Lynn. And we're sorry about the leaky cap. We chalk it up to manufacturing defect from our bottle supplier. We've experienced this issue before though it is rare and impossible to spot in our bottling process. We can always send you another cap and/or bottle!

Attached are the pictures from my couch. It took me a couple of weeks and it came out OK....Not perfect as it was so bad I really should have had to tops of the cushions replaced. I would give it 4 stars, as I did not find it very sandable. Thanks
Your products really do the job! My leather sofa repair came out better than I expected.

I have before and after photos. Am tech challenged

Just wanted to say thanks for making a great product. It took some trial and error, but we love the way the couch looks and feels now. The cushions even feel firmer. Thanks a bunch!!
The product took more that I figured to cover a dark brown sofa.but looks great.
