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

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 broke Foam 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!

Forgive is a great product. It made the seats it my 2003 bmw z4 look like new.

If you have a couch or sofa that is showing some wear, but you still love the look or the feel of the cushions, give this balm a go. It works surprisingly well for covering up minor scratches and wear, while giving some extra sheen to the leather. Scrub the leather first with a cleaner or conditioner and then try this over it. Mine has looked great for about six months and could probably use a new coat soon, which is easy to apply and let sit overnight before allowing people to sit on.

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.

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 rarely ever leave reviews just because I’m extremely busy, however, I live in LA and if people get evicted or they move out, they put their furniture outside on the streets. I have had a side business going for years, if I see a great piece that has potential I take it. I bring it home. I refinish it. I paint it and then I sell it for 3, 4 $500. So recently I moved to a smaller space in a better area and across the street I saw these four leather chairs it was nighttime. I didn’t get a great look at the quality, but I knew when I saw the back of them they were something special so I brought them inside and luckily for being 1980s circa they’re in excellent shape however there was definitely wear and tear on the leather from sitting on it, there were some paint splatters, light scratches on them. I cleaned them up and I bought this cream.THE BEST PRODUCT OF THE YEAR!! I am so mad that I did not post before and after photos they look brand spanking new after one application. I was lucky because there were surface scratches but no big gashes luckily for me, but they were filthy, and this product has made them look like show stopping showroom quality, absolutely beautiful brand new!!! Again, but I will see I’ve only applied one coat so far. I don’t even know if I want or need to apply a second coat and I’ve only used a quarter of what was in the tub a little goes a long way you want to do it in thin layers and buff it out. Let it dry and then give it a second coat which I’m gonna do but it’s really not even needed. I haven’t 100% decided but I will say this product is absolutely insane. I love it. I advocate for any product that is amazing. I am just a “share with everybody in the world” because we all wanna know the tricks. I would buy this product again and again and again and again. Incredible!!! I always hesitate. I read the reviews, but you never know until you use a product like I said I rarely ever leave reviews but this just absolutely exceeded my expectations. I will certainly purchase this product again if I need it at the container I have for For Chairs! was more than enough. I did order the two just in case I didn’t know how big or small but a little bit really does go a long way. I think you could do an entire couch with one, but it’s good to have two to be on the safe side. Just fantastic.

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.

The color worked so well with our couch. Once applied we waited the amount of time stated before wiping it down and was amazed at how well it worked. We used a sponge paint brush to apply it and it worked very well. It is thick and does not take much to apply. It removed years of wear and color loss. We absolutely were pleased with the way it worked.

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

Color will come off.

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

excelente producto
