great product b4 after pics

I had one of these foot rests in pale yellow about 20 years old , a new one is near on £350, i just ordered a new replacement suite and decided I give it a got in refurbishing my old one so I did not need to buy a new foot rest as well. The colour is really a very good match to what I am buying , Following the instructions I cleaned the leather first with water and washing liquid and scrubbed well, then dried and did the same again, then I took a plastic scrubbing sponge and roughed up the surface a bit. Dried it again with a hairdryer, and applied the first coat concentrating on the seams, drying each coat with a hairdryer and allowing to cool, the instructions suggest 3 coats but I found I needed 5 , I still have some of the stain/paint over so it went a long way. used a wide paint brush to get into all the leather crinkles, after a final dry, I left if for a few days to really dry well, then applied lots of leather cream and worked gentle into the surface and again left to dry for a couple of days, IMO its looks amazing I am sure if you scratch it , it will still show the old colour but I am very happy with the result.

Bought two bottles but the second seemed a slightly darker grey than the first, also a bit different in its finish. Other than that was very easy to use and achieved what I wanted.

Flipping LOVED this. Took the bull by the horns and decided to recolour my cream £4000 sofa, grey 😬....followed the prepping instructions to the letter, which is super important, then, using a mini roller proceeded with the task. It was easy to use, really fast drying and the coverage was good. It’s been 5 weeks now, and the sofa looks beautiful. I must add I have a Bernese mountain dog and a shih Tzu that sit on my sofas and the dye has not cracked or peeled like some people say theirs have. This is why the prepping stage is really important. But I’m really happy and my tired cream sofa looks like new 👍🏼

All the bottles had the same dye number but were from a different batch . Black top Nov 23 white top Feb 24. The Feb ones were a lighter grey which I didn't like so used it for the first coat on sofa then the darker one on top. Need another bottle but not sure if I would get the right bottle from Nov batch

I had my doubts that this would cover the leather in my car. When I bought the car the mid-grey interior was more green than grey due to nicotine but I thought what have I got to lose?I washed the leather with mild detergent then gave it a good clean with 70% rubbing alcohol and opted for a 2 tone black and light grey.I bought 1 bottle of grey and 1 black and applied it in layers with a sponge using a small artists paint brush for detail and hard to reach areas allowing each coat to dry naturally before applying the next.The results are amazing. The whole car interior looks like new and I’ve had loads of positive comments from neighbours and passers by who’ve seen me working in over several days.The coverage is excellent. I did the full interior of a 2003 Boxster including seats, dash, door cards, handbrake, gear stick and leather trim and still have just under quarter of a bottle left of each of the black and grey.I definitely recommend Carbusonic. If you follow the instructions and take your time the results are fantastic.

Absolutely amazing dye! First tune I've done anything like this and picked up this sofa for free and was badly worn and in a state! The pictures are only one coat and on the badly worn parts two coats! Have had too order a new bottle as didn't realise how much I needed so will be finishing it off as soon as it comes! I used a car washing sponge to apply and dabbed it on, found that if I wiped it in it left a brush look on the sofa so dabbing was perfect! I can't believe how amazing it has turned out and is definitely worth it and amazing value for money! x

I had to write a review for this fab product as it has really exceeded my expectations. I bought it to recolour a 3 piece suite, from cream to grey. It was an easy job, I used a small paint tray and standard kitchen sponge to apply, no other tools/products were required. The drying time was quick, just 5-10 mins before the next coat was ready to apply. I could have complete all the couches in less than a day if needed. Although instructions say 2-3 days for full drying time, my couches were sat on within hours of finishing, with no effect, and have been wiped clean of my toddler's mess several times, with no loss of colour. The seller was promt and polite in dealing with my query, ensuring my order was correct. I would 100% recommend trying this product if considering a leather dye. The pictures speak for themselves.
