A miracle!
My Weekend Project! My 15-year-old sectional was on its last legs and I was thinking of replacing it. But I really liked the shape of it and there was nothing wrong with it except that it looked terribly worn out. Besides, the thought of lugging it downstairs and the time and expense of buying a new one inspired me to look for options. I found this product 'Rub & Restore' and decided to see if I could breathe new life into it. For $70 I got a 'new' sofa.

Skeptical about trying to match due to unsuccessfully trying with other product, but RubnRestore matched perfect with easy application.

Saved me having to replace vinyl seat cushions on our yacht!
After our 43' Cruisers Yachts express cruiser was in the boatyard having repairs, some of the crew removed the furniture covers we had on our vinyl seating area. Someone placed black dock lines onto the seat cushions and in the intense Florida sun...the dye from the dock lines bled into the cushions. The stains were a plum-purple and NOTHING would get them out. I used a little softscrub with bleach and a magic eraser and it lifted slightly, but still horrible (see before photo). I found Rub n Restore in marine white, followed the instructions to the letter, and voila! I was amazed at how easy this product was to use, how effective it was a...More

I found Rub n Restore in marine white, followed the instructions to the letter, and voila! I was amazed at how easy this product was to use, how effective it was at covering the awful stains. Actually with ordering the 8 oz. bottle I am now going to touch up a few other parts of our cushions showing a little wear. This product is an amazing value for the price paid, and I am positively a delighted customer at how this product literally saved us thousands in avoiding the expense of having to replace the seating on our boat. I highly recommend this product, especially for boat and yacht owners!

I love this product, worked phenomenally and test it with old but white sweat-shorts and there was no rubbing off or anything. Transformed this faded sofa.

My couch is 20 years old but did not want to by a new one yet with small kids who destroy everything. Needed to lighten up the room. 5 coats and 6 hours of hard work laterā€¦voila! Could have maybe used one more coat but I couldnā€™t muster the energy. Looks and feels great.

Was definitely skeptical at firstā€¦ took about 3 coats with some areas harder than others but what an easy application and once I was happy with the evenness of the color I did a final topcoat with the ā€œClear prep & finishā€ and OMG! What a transformation! My bench seat from my vintage trailer looks glossy & new! Amazing product! So happy I spent a little extra money and didnā€™t use vinyl spray paint!

I think the photo speaks for itself. We had two identical chairs that, due to dogs laying on them, etc., had really deteriorated. We did some research and found Rub N Restore. We first had two color swatches sent--beige and ivory--and chose ivory because it was a little closer match, although a bit lighter than the original. We bought 16oz of dye and 8oz of the clear topcoat. We first did a little prep on the cushions, which had the worst damage. I watched the video about repairing cracks and repaired the one crack we had with some super glue. The seat cushions were also rough, so I did a little sanding. Then, we mixed the clear and d...More

Then, we mixed the clear and dye and applied the first (light) coat to the worst areas, did two more coats of the dye over the whole chairs, and then did a top coat of the clear. This picture is before the topcoat. It was a little hard at first to not get streaks, but the trick is to rub and rub and rub as it dries. We ended up with about 1/3 left in each bottle. We could have used more up with additional coats, but didn't see much point.

OMG!!! This stuff is AMAZING! Not going to lie, I was skeptical! We paid about $3K for this couch years ago & have hated that it faded/wore the way it did. We were about to ditch it for a new one when I saw your product! Thank you for giving this couch a new life!

Thank you for making such a wonderful product
Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I am the 2nd owner of a 2003 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Except for the vinyl top it is in immaculate shape. I had tried at least a dozen products before I found Rub n Restore. I could not be happier with the results, please see the attached pictures. I believe I am better at applying your product, than I am at taking pictures. To my eye the pictures do not show just how well your product worked.

I am the 2nd owner of a 2003 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Except for the vinyl top it is in immaculate shape. I had tried at least a dozen products before I found Rub n Restore. I could not be happier with the results, please see the attached pictures.
I believe I am better at applying your product, than I am at taking pictures. To my eye the pictures do not show just how well your product worked.

Before starting with Rub N restore the top had turned a medium grey, with some area even lighter in color. Originally this top was black. After using Rub N Restore, two of my neighbors asked "when did you put on the new convertible top"

I will be using your product again if I ever need to dye vinyl or leather again. I would not hesitate to recommend your product to friends.

The photos show the top half done so you can see the before and the after.

Thank you again for making such a wonderful product.
