  • Many leathers have a natural marbling or variation or a two-toned printed appearance. Leather paints can obscure these unless some care and creative techniques are used. Learn more here: rubnrestore.com/how-to/mottle...

    Hi. Thank you for this video and helpful techniques. I am going to restore my sofa and perhaps change the colour slightly. Any chance you could post your comments after some time of use? I’m mainly concerned that the paint may leave stains on clothing after some time.

    Nice job on this, I am watching different videos to try to get an idea so that I can work on a leather jacket that I have. With some of your techniques I'm going to try out, like you said experiment trial and error. Thanks for the video and techniques🙂

    Looks good 💖I’ll have to try rub n restore on my futon. I used another brand’s leather/vinyl paint and it feels horrible. So now it lives with a beautiful velvet type slipcover

    Have a question. I recently got real leather couches. The couches itself is in great condition. But the Cushions had some Scratches on it and faded color. So I went out and got some professional leather Stain off of Amazon. Well the color was off a bit. My Question to you is. Can I take off the Stain that I put on the couch cushions to match my whole couch? Thanks from Rick from St. Louis.

    i used Brillo leather shoe spray on my couches, it looked fantastic but didn't last very long as it rubs off easily. Is this the same, does it last at a year if prep was done right?

    I have a very light tan real leather sectional i want to turn grey. I like the rub and restore "Ash vinyl and leather finish." How many bottles do you think i should buy?

    • @Lancelotopus
      @Lancelotopus Před 3 lety

      Don't buy any. The product will rub off and you will never get your money back.

  • @harmoni2479

    If the color can be erased with a damp cloth, won’t it come off of it gets damp during use? If someone is sweaty in the summer, sits down with wet hair from the shower, etc? Is there a sealant step not covered here?

    • @Lancelotopus
      @Lancelotopus Před 3 lety

      It comes of regardless. Don't buy. They will never refund you either.

    How will this hold up to dog's nails?

    • @RubnRestore
      @RubnRestore  Před rokem

      Dog claws will quickly scuff many leathers and their finishes, but the damage is usually superficial. Over time they may damage the actual fiber. Either way, it's easily repaired and restored, but it's best to stick with a matching color. Learn about color matching here: rubnrestore.com/how-to/match-color-leather-vinyl/
