Leather Hero Top Coat – Leather Sealant & Protective Finish for Dye, Paint, Car Seats, Shoes & More – Scratch-Resistant Color Restorer with Applicator – 4oz(Satin Finish)

Very easy to use and the result is really satisfying. Thanks!

I bought this as a last ditch effort to save the lining of a pair of boots. It hit all the marks for my application, and I think it did well. I can't speak to it's durability for car seats or furniture, but I recommend for this sort of application.That fake pleather crap they use on things was flaking into the fine death dust in a pair of boots I bought second hand... Had I realized the interior, maybe I wouldn't have gone for them, but the exterior of the boot is a beautiful, tooled genuine leather. I repair things for a living and got cocky.I asked a local cobbler, said it was not worth it. I looked up diy ideas. Toss em was pretty much it. Fine! Screw everyone. I'll do it myself.I slapped on a mask and rubbed out all the loose plastic upper that makes "pleather" from the fabric (it was patchy), I bought black in this brand's dye, and recolored the inside. This didn't stop the flaking quite like I was hoping to but achieved a good aesthetic for whatever that's worth inside a shoe. When I found this sealant, I figured why not? Worth a shot. In for a penny....It has solved the problem absolutely. Flakes are contained. The interior of the boot is by no means new, but I am certain it gave me a couple more years. With repeated applications when needed, maybe many more. We'll see the shelf life of the product. I didn't use much for the surface area.The finish is very thin. When applying, it can be difficult to believe you got that spot. It's a very thin solution that seems to absorb a bit and becomes clear on application. I could see how others may have applied too heavily and wound up with an uneven, brushed finish very easily. Thin coats and patience on the dry time recommended.It feels very durable, certainly water resistant, and it has a flexible surface tension. Perfect for the interior of a shoe. If you have a pair of shoes you want to save from the garbage heap, it's worth the couple bucks. I can't speak to it's durability at the moment, but I'm happy with my initial results and day of testing.

Other reviews have questioned whether or not the sheen is really satin. I did a comparison between Leather Hero and Fiebing’s Pro Resist and the difference is stark. Clearly, the Pro Resist is much glossier and really deepens the black dye. The Leather Hero is a much duller sheen and a more flat looking black.Keep in mind these are not professional photos and that makes a difference. Lighting will tell you any story the photographer wants to tell. These are quick snapshots from a phone in poor lighting. Trust me when I tell you that what you see by eye is even more pronounced than what you see in these pics but I feel you CAN see a difference from these pics, so I have included them.Hope this helps. And by the way, I ordered two bottles and they were both just fine (fully liquid).

I haven't had it on the couch long enough for me to make any judgments. I can say that it went on perfectly and the finished restored area looks beautiful. I have not experienced any loss of color as yet nor have I seen evidence of any color on my skin or other materials that have come in contact with the restored area. I would have to say that the product works well, but only time will tell how well. Right now I would give 4 stars, if it lasts into the future as I think it will, I would raise it to 5 stars. As a side note: The products from this company are completely reliable and do what they say they will do.

Great product, patched and hardened the faux polyurethane leather on thrifted shoes very well. It is really quite a big bottle, especially if you only need it for shoes. I would say you need 1/20th of the bottle to coat multiple pairs of shoes; the value is good for the cost.

I returned it. Probably my fault I wasn't happy w it. I ordered satin and it wasn't shiny enough for me. Wasn't shiny at all. Couldn't tell I had applied it.

At first I was super pleased with this stuff! It matched perfectly with my couches and it was very easy to get on. I had it sit for 3 days AND used the sealant stuff on it and it held up good for about 4 days and then it started to run off or when I wiped it down with some Lysol wipes just to clean the couch (I have a 2 year old and they get dirty) the brown came off. I did everything right but it still seemed to slowly come off. I definitely think for restoring a purse or something that isn’t “high traffic” it will hold up good but just not the best for couches. These pics are the same day I did them and turned our amazing however, all came off within a week AFTER the 3 day sitting period.

Easy to apply protective top coat .Very satisfied with the outcome . Recommend .
