FORTIVO Leather Recoloring Balm, Color Restorer, Scratch Remover, Couch Paint and Repair, Leather Balm for Couches

Color perfect, easy to use, and apply. Couch looks like new

I can't believe how well this dye covers - and even changes colors – or how nice the finish looks with just a little effort. I have an old leather sofa that's about 8 feet long. It used to be dark green and it faded to teal. Didn't love the green. Hated it as faded teal, so it was worth a try. And it really exceeded all expectations. If you're on the fence, go for it. it is pretty easy to get a great result. It is an excellent value. Less than 2 jars will complete an 8-foot sofa.BIG PLUSES:Covers easily in 2 coats if going darker.Very easily covers bares spots or scratches.Hardly any odor.Subtle sheen similar to new leather.Dries quickly...and I live in a humid rainforest!Does not rub off after dry. Quality product.Easy clean with soap and water.MODEST weaknesses:Protective gloves are flimsy but do the job. One brokeFoam applicators are just okay. They start out fine but collect some thickening dye as you go.Constant pressure can keep the dye from thickening inside foam which can result in an uneven finish.Keep semi-attached cushions separated until fully dry. Gaffers tape can hold cushions in different directions.The mink oil takes longer to penetrate the new finish than instructions indicate.And the mink oil can leave things too shiny and messy without a VERY good cleaning.TIPS:If you're dying darker, you can successfully (completely) change colors in 2 coats.If you have a larger project like a sofa, get yourself some cloth applicators and nitrile gloves to make the day easier.If you use the foam applicators, switch them out as soon as the inside dye thickens – or your finish will be uneven.Let the mink oil sit longer than indicated to get through the new finish and into the leather. Then wipe with microfiber.Very mild soap and water on microfiber can remove the greasiness and excessive sheen of the mink oil.This is an exceptional product that delivers. Get it.See the before, during and after photos - then save that leather you used to love!

This product worked great on a leather couch. Good navy color match. Fairly easy to apply. After dry does not come off on clothing. Covered scratches and gave couch a new look. Would recommend.

I posted before & after pictures to show the worn areas on my chairs although I am not completely finished. I only applied 1 coat on the problem areas and may decide to do the whole chair. Or I may only apply a 2nd coat to the problem areas and blend it in. I also need to apply the recommended conditioner.The arms were especially bad. The chairs are a grey/brown color so I mixed the dark brown & light grey together. I really would rather have used the dark grey but unfortunately it’s out of stock. It was worth a try and the chairs look sooo much better and am glad I tried it! The color is more brown than I wanted but it works fine and it’s much better & cheaper than having to buy new chairs.I mixed the colors with a popsicle stick to the approximate color I wanted and applied it on one chair. I am pretty happy with it so far, it looks like a new chair even though it’s not the exact color I wanted.Side note: I let the chair dry for several days & just tested it to see if the color rubs off. It did come off the arm only, with a dry cloth when I rubbed it firmly, but it DIDN’T come off the rest of the cushion, etc. My guess is that the arm was more worn so I will just reapply another coat & I think that will do the trick. Also, I am hoping the conditioner will seal it in. I’ll update my review after I apply conditioner.The actual process is easy. There is no bad scent and it goes on nicely. I used the brush they supplied on the seams & welting & a cotton cloth on the rest only bc I forgot there was a sponge pad suppled. I will use the sponge to finish the rest of the chairs. Overall I really like the way the product works and the way it looks after initial application. I am hopeful the conditioner will seal in the color on the arms and I’m NOT concerned about any transfer problems from the cushions. I highly recommend this product & will use it again. My negative is that they are out of stock on the “dark gray” color. However, I just remembered they have black. Maybe I could use that to get the dark grey color by mixing it with the light grey, but that means I would have to buy 3 jars of the product instead of 2 to get the color a want to achieve. I may just go ahead and order the black. I may still be interested in the dark grey-let me know if it becomes available.

Frotivo leather recoloring balm and Fortivo mink oil leather conditioner are amazing. I recolored my sofa and loveseat. They look brand new. One jar almost covered both sofas. The color did not rub off even when I applied the mink oil.I would totally recommend this product!!

This product is amazing! I have a 22 year old leather couch, faded from skylights, which gave it multiple shades. This product turned our couch into a new piece of furniture! It does not disappoint! You do need to follow the Leather Balm application (once cured) with the Leather Conditioner also provided by Fortivo, which is mink oil. The Conditioner brings out shine, protects the color and leather, the final step is wiping with a clean, soft rag/towel to remove excess. Totally renews and restores whatever you are working on. Amazing. Great price, great product! Thanks Fortivo!

I have Bengal cats and I'm always getting minor scratches on my leather recliner. This product fills them in nicely yet I must do the entire chair. I use my chair a lot so this restore will last about two or three years, then it will need redone. Yet, it looks new again and it is far less expensive than replacing the furniture. I compare it to polishing shoes, except that the finish is smooth and shiny. Deep scratches may take an additional applications to look like new. It dries in about 20 minutes, can be washed off within an hour should the finish be damaged while drying, and the furniture can be used after several hours to a full day. I always wait an entire day.

I bought the dark brown to cover cat scratches on two leather recliner chairs. The dark brown did a beautiful job! BUT that is not what I am writing about. I volunteered to restore a little oak music cabinet that belonged to a friend’s mother in England. The top had a huge dark water ring that try as I might I could not get rid of. I got permission to remove the finish and sand the top sure this would take care of it. As I lightly sanded I realized the top was not solid oak. I couldn’t go farther and the huge, dark water stain was more visible. I bought dark walnut stain just sure this would cover the stain which I could then put on a finish coat. By now I was thinking of a marble top, anything to make it right. As I worried myself sleepless I thought of that dark brown furniture dye. Couldn’t hurt right? Well it could have but it did not! It covered beautifully. I let it dry for 24 hours and then applied the finish coat. My friend loves it. I can’t guarantee it for everything but it sure worked for that little dark cabinet. I have before and after pictures if anyone would like to see the before and after. Try in an inconspicuous area.
