Custom Color
If you have a specific color in mind, then the Custom Color Service is definitely the way to go. It was worth every penny after applying and seeing the exact color that we wanted. The total project was included in one box and the YouTube videos made the job pretty straight forward. The refreshed like new surface that came out exceeded our expectations saving us well over $3,000 to replace the chair and couch that was structurally very sound.

Perfect match
My white leather recliner leg rest was stained yellow from moisturizer lotion. I tried everything to clean the leather but nothing worked. I put two coats of marine white rub n restore on the leg rest.. it went on very easily and uniformly. When dry that section of leather was indistinguishable from the rest of the chair! It matches perfectly. I am thrilled with the results.

Leather chair makeover
This is a chair my mother purchased about 40 years ago. We have always liked how comfortable the chair is, but never liked the green color. When I thought about dyeing it I searched for products and saw quite a few videos about the Rub and Restore product. Lesandre was very helpful with the advice and instruction and sent me samples of different colors for us to look at. We went with the Red Chili color and are very happy with the results. This was such an easy process to do and what a difference it made in the look of the chair. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to do a project like this. I will certainly use Rub and Restore ...More

Helped repair thrifter chair
This is definitely a labor of love- and it is has a learning curve. I had to cut away quite a bit of the old repair because they used a glue that hardened. It doesnā€™t look like new but it looks so much better. Very grateful for these products. They were easy to use and remove as I made adjustments. I purchased all the repair items and paint. I would use less fabric and make sure it was more taut the next time.

Color was way off!
I was very disappointed in the product. The color I received was not the color that was shown. I would actually like a refund.
Reply from Lesandre Barley:
We encourage folks to order swatches, as color is never to be trusted over screens. Had you reached out to us prior, we would have sent you some for free. You can email photos to info@rubnrestore.com, and we can suggest what could be used to modify Buckskin. Unfortunately it is often cost prohibitive to return the smaller 2 oz. sizes.

Marvelous transformation
The color match was spot on. The directions were simple, and it was easy to use. The people at Rub 'n Restore were wonderfully helpful with all my questions.

Presto! Like new again.
I saw this product on u-tube and purchased to see if I could refresh my six year old leather recliner. The headrest was wearing from the heat and oils from my head. I washed the leather with soap and water and then applied the leather dye and presto, I have a beautiful chair once again. I highly recommend this product. I have a darker recliner and I will be purchasing this product for my next project.

Highly recommend! Great product!
I thought I was going to have to spend thousands on a new couch, but then I read about Rubā€™NRestore. It was easy to use. I does take a few days to completely dry and cure, but my couch looks like new!!!!!! I am so happy this solution was available!!!!!

Much lighter in color than description. More mustard than cognac. Could not use.
Reply from Lesandre Barley:
Look at how many different versions of cognac leather there are here. This is why we encourage folks to order swatches to ensure ours is a good match to yours. If our Cognac is too light and yellow, you can modify it with Rust, Cinnamon or Tobacco using these instructions. We can be of more help if you email us a picture of the Cognac applied to your leather taken from a short distance away.

So happy!!!
An hours work including cleaning and dry time. I donā€™t think I could be happier. The large patch of black is from my dog scratching the sofa before lying down. I did three coats, used 1500 grit sandpaper to sand the rough bits of leather that were loose and then a forth coat.

Glad I paid for the custom match. It was perfect!

I almost replaced the sofa because of this damage. So glad I found you!

Be extra sure of the color before ordering
I ordered the cognac color as it matched the closest to our leather chair. But the color is 1 shade too light so my wife and I chose not to use it because we had to pay for a $10-11 dollar shipping fee. That being said, just be super sure before ordering so you don't waste more money for the extra shipping fee charges.
Reply from Lesandre:
Thank you. We encourage folks to order swatches before purchasing. We offer a few for free for those who reach out to us directly with good photos.
