FORTIVO Leather Recoloring Balm with Mink Oil, Couch Repair Kit, Leather Dye and Restorer for Furniture - Black

After extensive research and comparison shopping, I'm thrilled to share my experience with the Fortivo Leather Recoloring Balm and Mink Oil Leather Conditioner. I'm absolutely amazed by the results they delivered on my leather furniture. The application process was simple, and a little product went a long way. With just two coats, and an additional one in areas with more wear, I witnessed a remarkable improvement. However, I did encounter a small hurdle as my couch didn't pass the absorbent test initially. Thankfully, I ordered the Angelus Leather Preparer Deglazer on Amazon, which solved the issue. It's essential to deglaze if your leather isn't absorbent; otherwise, the recoloring balm won't penetrate properly. After letting it dry for about 4 hours, I conducted a simple test using a white cloth to check for any color transfer. To my delight, the cloth remained white, indicating that the color was properly set. The addition of the mink oil conditioner provided a beautiful sheen to the leather, enhancing its overall appearance. The result? As you can see in the photos of my before and after and side-by-side comparison shots my couch looks as good as new! For just $27, I was able to revive my leather furniture, saving me the hassle and expense of buying new pieces. I highly recommend the Fortivo Leather Recoloring Balm and Mink Oil Leather Conditioner to anyone looking to breathe new life into their leather furnishings. It's a cost-effective solution that yields remarkable results!

1.5 YEAR UPDATE: This stuff has held up AMAZINGLY!! I only done my sofa once with the kit and it has not faded at all! Doesn't transfer onto clothing either. I pray they never change the formula I got the dark brown. It looks really light in the can but it comes out dark the way it's supposed to. If you rub it on and don't like it or don't think it's going to work for you if you're fast you can wipe it off with a wet paper towel. But after 5 minutes it's set and there's no taking it off. It's very smooth and soft afterwards as well. They say to use the tap method to put it on but I wiped the first coat on because it seemed easier and it covered faster. Second coat I did use the type method to make it have the textured look and not show wipes. First off this stuff really works well and covers well. It is very easy to use and I done this quickly. I had a ceiling fan running so the drying time between coats was only about 15-20 minutes. I did two coats and let that dry overnight before I applied the mink paste. The mink paste goes on very easily as well but don't use a lot. It will feel sticky for a minute but give it a while to soak in and then grab a microfiber towel and just rub across it and that pretty much fixes that problem. At this moment I have zero complaints about this product It was very much worth what I spent to fix the sofa. Only time will tell how well it holds up but I have almost a whole entire container left to redo the whole sofa again several times if need be. Also I've had no transfer onto my clothes sitting on the sofa so o it's pretty on there 🙌🏼

Worked magic. I revitalized my old purse and it looks like new.

This did perk up the leather and not hard to apply and blend as long as a damp cloth was used. There was a little stickiness that was helped by going over the sofa with a soft cloth. I didn’t notice a smell and sofa did look better.

Excellent product!! Easy to use, clear instructions and great results!! Saved me from buying a new sofa. Attached photos; before, 1st coat, 2nd coat finished w mink oil.

I used this to revive my leather sofa. The leather is originally multi colored medium brown was a perfect touch up color, mainly adding color to cushions and arms of sofa. The mink oil was applied after and the sofa looks great.

This made the free sun-bleached leather chairs I found on Craigslist look expensive! I have zero experience with this type of project. It was an emotional rollercoaster. The first few dabs looked too heavy. I thought I ruined the chairs. Then I remembered they were free and kept going. I sent a panicked email to the company. An actual caring human looked at my photos and provided words of encouragement and recommendations to fix the areas of concern. They even sped up my follow up order so I could fix up the chairs in time for my son’s birthday party. There was very little odor and the product dries quickly without any sticky residue. 5 stars for the product. 6 stars for the company. I would used this exact product again and again. Rehab’ing leather items may be my new favorite hobby!

This was very simple to apply and completely renewed a couch we were planning on changing out for new because it was looking “rough” from cat scratches and dye fade. It immediately looked better but best result after waiting between coats and then applying mink oil. The couch looks brand new! All the scratches are gone and the faded areas are all uniform. We were so thrilled with the results that we decided to try it out on a couple dining chairs we had sitting in the garage because they were so cracked and terrible looking. I could not believe my eyes!! After a couple coats all the cracking and peeling is gone. You can still tell it was previously cracked, but I’m confident after a couple more coats that will disappear also. What a great way to save money and restore furniture we thought we would have to replace! It’s been a couple months on the couch with daily use and to my surprise the restoration is holding perfectly
