Furniture Clinic Leather Recolouring Balm - Colour Restorer for Sofas, Chairs, Car Seats, Furniture & More - Repairs Damaged, Scratched & Faded Leather – 16 Repair Colours (Dark Brown)

I bought a tan second hand leather sofa, it was a bit faded and needed a feed.. this product bought it up brilliantly.. easy to use a small bit at a time and using a circular pattern to apply.. I let mine for a hour to dry then buffed of with a clean cloth.. never had any problems with it coming off on my clothes when sitting on it as long as it’s well buffed.. I use it twice a year and it keeps the sofa looking fab and the leather soft .. test an area first out of site to make sure it matches your sofa

I'm really impressed, its a shame I was too eager to start and thus have no photos I had become a bit slack at taking care of my sofa and it was starting to show signs of wear, lighter lines, the colour no more, I spotted this and thought its worth a try. I added one light coat, buffed it up and it looks as good as new What I would say is it dries very quickly so make sure you even it out as you apply it or do only a bit at a time I can't remember the colour if mine, my head says it was called mocha but not 100% but the colour matched well I'd definitely use it again - it saves buying throws or a new sofa!

Love this stuff but you need to have good upper arm strength!! And I used about 3/4 of the pot on my settee. It does work though and looked like new for a few months. It slowly wears off though.

I have two matching 15-year-old, mid-brown leather sofas that were in great need of some maintenance. One of them had become slightly 'bleached' by having the sun hit it through the window. After cleaning both the sofa and letting them dry, I applied this cream with a small foam pad. It certainly darkened the leather after one coat, and made the overall appearance more even. There were small, minor scuff marks here and there on the leather and it covered these up. The sofa out of the sun took two coats, and the sun-bleached sofa took three coats to bring it back to how it should have looked, and to get them both evenly matched. I was surprised by how far the cream spreads - a little does go a long way. After each coat, I left them for 24 hours for the leather to absorb the cream fully, and then buffed it off with a microfibre cloth which made the colour more even, and then applied more colour restore cream or a final moisturizing cream. As a final coat, I used Leather Honey to add some moisture and suppleness to the leather which worked fabulously well. Would I buy it again??? Yes, I would. It did darken the leather more than I originally anticipated, but "she who must be obeyed" was very happy with the resulting colour, so that is a huge win in my book.

I found the product nice and easy to use and sofa looked much better but the problem is that the colour comes off on cloths. All my daughter leggings have been ruined as they are stained with this product. And I left it to dry off for a long time and even after weeks the colour still comes off on cloths and stains them. Very disappointed because of that.

Absolutely excellent product. Really badly scuffed up from dog. Easy to apply. Ladt photo shows end result.

Have used similar items before from a different manufacturer with really good effect, however, this made no discernible difference whatsoever. The small print states that must be used on a lighter colour to be effective. Now if you have a beige/cream leather and the leather has scuffed over years and the scuff is darker than the product, then this has no effect whatsoever, so don't bother. on light greys, beiges etc the scuffs are usually darker than the leather. waster £20!.

Used about 30% of a tub to refurb a car with a black full-leather interior. Tested on a practice area after using other products in preparation and also to finish. Applied with spatula over one area at a time, and clean cloth to work it into the grain of the leather over the area. Work methodically area by area and leave time between reapplication if required. Used Autoglym Leather Cleaner first and later neutralised with water. Then a thin metal spatula (like that used for opening mobile phone cases) to spread filler very sparingly across the grain of cracks in a leather car seat. Cleared off as much as possible while carefully making sure there was enough of the filler left in the crack to build it up. Use a clean cloth gently to ‘level’ any imperfections and balance the filled areas. Wait for hardening, then buff. Repeat as necessary using very thin layers to build up. Keep the filler as close to the area as possible with as little spreading beyond the cracked area as possible. Later used Furniture Clinic recolouring balm and spatula to apply colour quite thickly, then used a neutral cotton cloth to spread the recolouring gel balm across the wider area – the whole panel. Work on one specific area/panel at a time. Wait a few minutes before buffing with a microfibre cloth. Leave for a couple of hours and reapply if necessary and rebuff. The surface will change from matt to satin reflection. Areas where the filler has been used may show a slight dark grey discolouration (from black) even after a couple of colour treatments. Wait about ten minutes after colour re-application, cloth to spread over the area, buff and then leave for a few hours. Use a clean microfibre cloth to buff to make sure no colour is coming off. Then apply leather care balm area by area using a microfibre cloth. This will lift some of the colour onto the cloth, (keep turning the cloth) buff again after a few minutes and check for colour fastness. It might be sensible to not wear white clothes when seated, at least till the surface becomes colourfast. Overall, the combination of Autoglym Leather Cleaner, Scratch Doctor filler, Furniture Clinic Recolouring balm and Autoglym Leather Care balm worked well on black leather car seats. Very good at filling in nicks and minor scuffs. For any tears or rips, use Bostick rubberised superglue ( or Bostick instant) to 're-lay' before applying filler and other treatments. There are plenty of videos on the internet to guide on more complicated repairs. The best finish can only be achieved by full refurbishing, using fine (eg 1200 grit) sanding, rigorous time-consuming preparation and spraying the leather with colour-matched paint to restore the original finish. This is something of a specialist art. While this combination of products is quite expensive (and others were not tried) the results are more than acceptable on 18-year-old black grained leather seats.

Produit qui colore et traite bien l’usure du cuir… très satisfait. Mon fauteuil est comme neuf.

Zerkratzte grüne Stuhlsitze behandelt, Kratzer nicht mehr sichtbar. Vorbehandelt mit Gel und dann mit Farberneuerung behandelt. Jeweils 3 Tage trocknen lassen. Gutes Ergebnis.

Really appreciated this product! My West Elm Couch and Chair had extreme fading from the sun (corner unit, floor to ceiling windows). It went on super easy, not hard to use. Some places required 3-4 coats where there was the most sun damage. Dried quickly. I couldn’t believe how close of a match it was. Only note is 1.) you will see some application marks (this was fine for my furniture and blended in and something probably only I’ll notice and 2.) there were some areas of the furniture that took really well (pillows and cushions) and some that took more coats or even resisted a little (I’m guessing different types of leather used in different parts of the couch or different finishings). I’m super hopeful that it will last (that’s the only thing outstanding-how long will it last), but overall really recommend and would use again!
