How much Rub ’n Restore® do I need for my project?

In general, 8 oz. Rub ‘n Restore® Color or Clear Prep+Finish™ will cover 60 ft² (or three coats on 20 ft²) and 16 oz. will cover 120 ft² (or three coats on 40 ft²). While you may need multiple coats of color to conceal stains or color change, one coat of Clear Prep+Finish™ is sufficient as a finish. Buy more if you need it to primer worn, absorbent materials.

Some factors to consider:

• Type of material – Leather often restores or color changes in 2-4 coats. Vinyl can take more like 3-6 coats.
• Condition – Sun-rotted vinyl and worn, absorbent leather will drink up a more product than those in better condition.
• Color change – Going from dark or red to light will require double, perhaps even triple, the volume of color and are discouraged for this reason. Please read learn more about color changes.
• Touch-up – Pieces that receive heavy use may require touch-up down the road, especially with color changes.

We do offer 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottles in all our standard colors and clear finishes if you call with credit card.
