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

This is amazing stuff! We have a 20 year old red leather couch that now looks brand new! It was easy to use and dries fast. The left side of the couch sit next to a south facing window so the arm and the side of the couch were almost pink rather than red from years of fading. It took a few more coats but now the whole couch looks uniform in color.

I used an old t- shirt and a 4 inch smooth roller to apply and it went on easily. My chair was light and I got the medium brown and the color is good, would have liked it a little lighter but the colors are what they are. I used a swirling motion with the t-shirt in the nooks and crannies. I probably would not use the t-shirt all over because it soaked up a lot of the product into the shirt. The smooth roller did well in the coverage and product went further. I put 2 coats on and did touch ups after the second coat dried and the lighting showed a couple of missed places. I would purchase again and recommend it.

This product is amazing! Our old couch was very faded and was almost thrown away due to its poor condition. However, I thought I would give this balm a try and it made the couch look like new!!! It went on very easy with the sponge applicators and with only 2 coats the reclining leather couch had new life left in it! I already bought a new couch to replace this one, but I could have saved $3,000+ if I had only tried this first! If your leather furniture is faded and it's high qulaity leather, this will take care of the problem and you can save thousands of dollars!!!

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.

The product isn’t perfect—but neither was the couch! 😂 I foster animals, and needless to say, there’s a pretty quick turnaround on couches at my house. That’s why I started buying them used. This West Elm leather couch was a Facebook Marketplace find for $100. It was basically a hand-me-down the seller wanted gone, and… let’s just say it had seen better days. 😅 The leather was extremely dry, had water damage, discoloration in several spots, a hole/rip on the side, and honestly… the color was HORRIBLE. 😂 Over the years, I’ve found that leather works best in my home because it’s so easy to clean. With the revolving door of foster animals coming through, being able to dust and wipe down a couch is a HUGE win. Give it a quick wipe and bam! Good as new! I decided to try the leather recoloring balm in Camel, and O-M-G. 😍👏 The couch looks AMAZING! It took me about an hour to do the entire couch, and it dried surprisingly fast—about 20 minutes. I may give it a second coat since there’s still quite a bit of discoloration from the water damage, but even after one coat, I’m extremely pleased with the results. The first picture shows the cushions side-by-side: one treated and one untreated. The difference is INSANE! 🤯 The last picture is the finished couch. It had a hole/rip on the side, so I also purchased a leather repair tape kit. And would you believe the coloring balm worked on the patch too?! It dyed surprisingly well, so I included a picture of that too. I’m honestly thrilled with how this $100 couch turned out. Now I almost feel bad that my cats are probably going to ruin it. 😂🐈 Would I recommend the product? Absolutely. 10/10 from me! 👏

This product really put some life back into our furniture. Our couch and two recliners had areas that looked almost orange in all the high contact areas. Not like peeling paint, mostly some discoloration. After using this the chair looked much better. One container did one recliner with just a little left over, I did not coat the entire chair just the areas you sit in and the arms, not the back or sides. Let it dry overnight, it does not rub off at all, I wish it was slightly darker but that had nothing to do with quality of the product. After drying, some areas felt slightly abrasive, like a roughness to them. I found that by rubbing my hands over those areas fairly roughly seemed to work that out. I am posting pics of chairs and couch but I did use a different, slightly cheaper product on the couch and other chair. I definitely liked the finish of this product better! The other one seemed to be a thinner paste, I don’t think it went as far, and some areas looked shiny after done. This product did not do that at all, no shiny spots. For that reason alone I wish I had just ordered more of this product, it was onlyn5$ more per container, the other container even held more but like I said seem to cover less. Long term I’m not sure how either one will last. The other product seems more abrasive after drying as well, took more work to smooth out. Overall, highly recommend, my wife thought it would be rubbing off on our clothes, did not happen. Maybe if it was put on couches with a painted on finish that could happen. You could give multiple coats as well. Our furniture was like a micro fiber fake leather, had a very soft feel, so I thought I made a huge mistake when I first felt roughness, but it’s all good now. Reminder about 1 1/2 seats per container, order extra because it suckes to finish. I started with one can, then realizing I needed 3 more tried to save money, don’t do that, buy this one!

We are VERY impressed with this product! This was just one coat and only used about 1/5 of the container for both pieces. Very easy to apply, but plan on using your own gloves to protect your hands. The plastic ones that came with it are a joke. I rubbed a microfiber cloth over them shortly after application and no color transferred to the cloth. Highly recommend!

This stuff is amazing. Trying it was an inexpensive alternative to replacing our six-year-old dark gray Natuzzi leather sofa, lovingly scratched and licked by our dog who loves to groom herself while including any surface area around her paws. So the dk gray seat cushions had light gray splotches all over and deep gouges from her nails. I did sand the deep scratches with a very fine grain emoty board to even out the surface. I dabbed in the dark gray balm, and then generously with circular motion applied over the whole splotched area. Dry three hours later. I conditioned it with Leather Honey conditioner. Can’t even see the scratches anymore, and the rest of the cushion looks uniform and beautiful, almost like new.

BUENA CALIDAD

Es un producto que es efectivo para los muebles de piel. Muy recomendable

Super Happy. Excellent product. It turned our three sofas back new. It worked even with the wooden tables.

Good

This product is like runny petroleum jelly without a hint of colour and does nothing to enhance the colour of my black sofa. I opened both pots just to make sure and apart from one having its label upside down, they were identical. Very disappointing.
