COCONIX Leather & Vinyl Repair Kit | Fix Tears, Holes, Scratches, and Peeling on Leather and Vinyl Furniture, Car Seats, and Jackets | Easy Application with Customizable Colors

First, 5 stars does not mean perfect. No, the repairs are not invisible. But they are very good and not very noticeable unless you are looking for them. Kind of like that small scratch on your car that no one else notices.I bought this kit about a year ago and, frankly, was a bit afraid to use it. DIY repair products often over-promise results and understate the difficulty of use. So, given that I bought this to repair a tear in the red leather rear seat of my car, which was covered by a dog seat cover anyway, I was able to just ignore the tear. However, when I created a small tear and wear marks in the black leather dash of my SUV when I removed a cell phone mount, I decided something had to be done.So, following the directions, I mixed the black and cream colors to arrive at the shade of black of my dash. I applied the mix using the provided spatula and then, to give it the more pebbled look of the leather, I lightly pressed the repaired area with the backing material provided in the kit. To my surprise, the process was quick and easy, taking maybe 15 minutes. And the dash looks great.Being emboldened by this success, I decided to repair the much larger damaged red leather seat in my car. I understood that (1) red is a very difficult color to match and (2) a larger damaged area would still be more noticeable after repair. Many moons ago, not seeing the exact shade of red on the provided chart, I emailed the manufacturer who, upon reviewing my photo and looking up the car's actual trim color, advised me to use red as the primary color and add in burgundy until the color matched (or was slightly lighter as it dries darker). Per those instructions I only added a small amount of the secondary color until it looked like a match. Again I used the provided spatula and spread the mixture over the damaged area. And I again used the backing cloth the smooth out and add texture to the repair. Yes, the repair is noticeable. But it doesn't stand out unless you know where to look. As this repair is on the seat cushion it remains to see how durable it will be. I am a novice at these sort of repairs and similar DIY projects I have attempted in the past have not always turned out great. But, in both cases here, the results were very good. The process was easy. And clean-up was simple. And I saved a ton of money over what professional repair shops wanted.In the picture, in the repaired area, the leather was torn and the backing was exposed. There were also black marks from Velcro. No more tear and the color is a very close match. And this was the first time I used this kit.

This is a great product and works as advertised. I would definitely use it again if needed. Our puppy chewed the corner off of the armrest of a leather recliner. The kit contained enough repair compound to fix the damage. The color matching was a bit tricky but will allow you to match almost any color with patience and practice mixing colors. Emails asking for advice from the customer service team were responded to very quickly and contained many helpful hints and suggestions. A first-class business in my opinion,

Easy to use with good instructions. repaired a dinning room chair seat deep scratch and looks unblemished.

HAVEN'T USED IT YET---WILL REVIEW AFTER I TRY IT

This stuff is great, I have a few more projects to do with it, now that I know how easy it is to use and how well it works.

Very easy to work with. Plenty of colors so you can mix the closest shade to your project. I did the leather seat in my Chevy Silverado, and it really came out good. My daughter's truck had a really bad series of tears on the side of her drivers seat, and my son-in-law did a fantastic job repairing it. Really looks nice, and the repair stops the progression of the damage. Take your time. Large repairs, do a layer at a time. May take a little longer, but you will be much happier with the results.

Worked exactly as described. They make it easy to get help mixing a matching color. Very happy with the results

After my Amazon research for a leather repair kit I landed on this one. I am very happy with the results and while I notice you can tell a slight difference close up, you do not notice the repair as a whole. I have given in 4 stars (wish I could do 4.5) because compared to what my sofa looked like before the difference is huge and well worth it. However, there are a few things I would like to see different, and this goes for all leather repair kits.I really wish there was some type of colormatch app to help you match your color easier. While this one includes a chart it just tells you the two colors to use to try to match your color. I ended up using 4 different colors to get the closest match I could.I wish that there was an option for a "bigger repair" type kit. What I mean by that is as you can see I had large areas to cover. You are given a tiny tiny brush and a very small plastic spatcula. I needed up using the spatcula but using some paper towel (sponge would have been better) to help blend the color into the large areas. I would like to see a larger container for mixing. Once you have the right color if you have to make more it is almost impossible to make the same color as the first attempt was just trial and error adding in colors. I would also like to see a much larger type applicator maybe a sponge of some sort to be able to blend over large areas.It would be nice if there was the ability to add something to the coloring to make it a little more creamy (like a balm) that you could rub over a large area to fill in small cracks. Kind of a two in one type kit for specific areas and large areas.Despite "wishing" for these features the kit really helped hide the terrible wear and scratches from my dog, a much cheaper option then getting a new sofa. I do want to note that while using the repair color I did also use a little bit of leather conditioner to try to fill in the small cracks on my own. The shine on my sofa is due to the conditioner and not this leater repair kit.Pros:**Does it's job if you can get the right color**Several colors included to help match the colorCons:**Small container hard for big jobs**Not always easy to get the color you need, the color chart is a start but definitely not the answerOverall I would purchase this again if/when I run into this same issue as unfortunately my dog will eventually scratch the sofa and wear will begin to show.
