Hope you can see the difference from the photos. My sofas needed an emergency restoration because they looked old. Paint faded in various places and peeled off 3 armrests. This product blew my mind! I don't usually have time to write reviews, but this product deserves my review. My sofas aren't leather but since they all have chairs I was looking for a quick fix that might save me from buying new sofas and did this trick! I have used 1 toning balm on the sofa, 2 seater sofa and recliner and it is enough to go over the faded and flaky areas twice. This product really convinced me. I just pray this lasts for a while. I bought the dark brown and it matched the color of my sofas perfectly. I'm planning to buy a black one for the leather seats on my husband's old truck. I will update if the color fades too quickly.
