  I have just finished restoring the interior of my 1999 Cadillac DeVille, with your wonderful product. I followed the directions exactly as they were written, took my time and the results were amazing!!! I applied numerous light coats and sanded between each one. I am extremely pleased with the way it looks. Your product is everything you advertise it to be and more. I have a 1997 Sebring Convertible that is in near mint condition except for a few tiny flaws in the interior that I plan to repair with Magic Mender next. Please consider me an extremely satisfied customer. Thank you very much

• I had used alcohol to remove a permanent marker spot on our leather sofa and ended up with an area where the dye came off too. After spending a day reading on the internet about leather repair products, I decided to try Magic Mender. The testimonials and photos were helpful in making the decision. I waited a week to attempt the repair. I was worried it would look worse than it was, but as you can see the results were great. The sofa sits under a skylight, so any imperfections blare right out; the results had to be perfect. I've very pleased with your product. Because of the professional looking results, I don't have to rearrange the living room, just to hide the affected seat. I found that using a thick, cotton sock to blend the product on, in very thin layers, proved to be a good technique. I devoted an hour to blending a small amount on, and waiting 5 min., layer, by layer, as the product label suggested. Thank you - informative website and wonderful product.

• Love your product- I covered the arms, and footrest on my 6 yr. old Lazyboy recliner. (the finish was damaged earlier due to sitting in the chair when covered with perspiration)

  I ordered the replacement leather from http://www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/sides.htm

  I used Dap contact cement to glue the new surfaces. A little “liquid nails” around the edges worked great. (I sanded the edges to make them smooth-the liquid nails takes the color-flex just fine).  I covered the entire chair in Color-Flex so everything would match. I wouldn’t say the chair looks new but am very satisfied with the way it turned out.

• Very nice product. I refinished the leather seats in my Mustang GT Convertible and they look great! I had some pet damage (scratches and punctures) and normal wear spots & cracking. The color match (Ford Midnight Black) was just right. Materials provided were easy to work with, and I applied many thin coats of Color Flex with a foam brush. I then used the pump sprayer to blend it all together, taking great care to make sure the nozzle was always clean and putting out fine mist. I achieved the best results by applying Color Flex to the entire seating surface...then spraying on the finish coat to hide any streaking or uneven spots. When dry, I gave the seats a bath with Lexol Conditioner. The whole process took me a couple days, but you can not rush this type of project in order to achieve a fine quality finish. Thanks for your help.

• I just finished using your product on my very worn and very tired BMW leather seats. I must say it is amazing the difference after the application.  It took me about 4 hours per seat, including prep and clean up time.  As you state in your instructions, the key to a good finish is to apply very light coats, it may take up to 4 coats to get a solid finish but it's worth the time.  Another thing that sold me was your extremely prompt support and customer service, I emailed you at 7pm on a Friday and I got a response in 15 minutes, that is unheard of now a days!  Thanks again.
  
  Here are some pictures of the seats. Please feel free to use any of them on your website.

• You guys are awesome!
  
  When my husband and I first got married we decided on a black leather couch and arm chair specifically because we had an indoor cat. We figured that it would collect less fur and that when we had a child marks would show up less. To protect ourselves we even bought the expensive protection plan at the furniture store. Well almost five years later we've moved states and our couch looks a lot worse for the wear. We tried to get the furniture protection plan to cover the damage but no one told us that if we couldn't find the original receipt they wouldn't even talk to us! The plan is maintained by a third party company, so even though the store knew we were still covered we couldn't get the other company to deal with us. I thought that all was lost. I resigned myself to the fact that we had bought a $1500 scratching post for the cat. I was embarrassed to have people sit on the sofa. But then I found your product. You can't even see the damage!!! It literally disappeared!!! Thank you!!!!

• I just wanted to tell you how pleased I was with the material I ordered to repair the leather bucket seat in my Chrysler Town & Country. I was frankly skeptical that it would work, but it was easy and worked very well. It's been about 3 months, and still looks great. Thanks!

• Gentlemen:
  
  Your instructions on repairing a leather steering wheel are nothing short of amazing! I followed the directions I received from your site to brush on instant krazy glue and use backing soda exactly as you recommended. Then I sanded the repair to a smooth finish . Today I painted on the magic mender colorflex leather and vinyl coating as instructed .: Toyota med oak 456 ( a perfect match by the way) and the results are a near perfect restoration of the steering wheel on my 1993 Toyota Camry. Toyota quoted me $ 800 to replace the steering wheel. I restored it thanks to you for less than $40. It was truly amazing. Thanks for the great instructions and support. Please use this as a customer testimonial. I only wish I had " before" pictures to compare to the final result. If your other products work this well, no wonder you are the leaders in leather repair!

• Thanks to your Magic Mender, I was able to save my 14 year old leather sofa. My kitty had literally scratched so many holes in the sides that the threads took me over 2 hours to cut off. I put on the mender, and still saw the gray threads. I thought there was no way it was going to look any better. I applied the paint, and to my amazement, the sofa looked fabulous! You just can't tell there were any repairs made. The color blended well into the existing color. Magic Mender was easy to use and apply. It took me more time to prepare the sofa than it did to use magic mender. I also used the paint to cover over some wear on the sofa. My only regret is that I did not take a before picture to send to you so you could see how damaged my sofa was. Thank you for a great product for a great price.

• I just wanted to tell you how satisfied I was with the color flex that i had sent to repair my white leather sofa. I followed the instructions, and put on three very light coats, and the repair is virtually invisible. I cannot believe i saved that sofa for a mere $14.95. What a pleasure to find a product that works so well.
  
  Thank you sincerely,

• I just wanted to share with you my experience with your product.

  I have a pair of Natuzzi leather sofa and chair which are 11 years old. The chair and sofa unfortunately had some bad scratch marks in the corners where a cat I once had took to them so badly it took the leather off very badly on the corners of them the sofa's where good but I hated to look at the corners of them and had pretty much decided they are damaged and it's time to replace them because I had tried other products which just made it look worst than they where before I used the product on them. But thanks to your product those two pieces look like brand new! I have never used any sort of fabric or leather repair product which was as easy and actually did exactly what it claims to do! You would think they where new ones or I had some professional do it and paid a big bill for it too. This by far has been one of my best purchases I have ever made!

  Thank you!

• A visiting friend sat down on our 5 month old leather couch with a pen in his back trouser pocket. Wham! Blue ink all over one of the seat cushions of the couch. I attempted to remove the ink with rubbing alcohol-something I had read on the web. It removed the ink but also discolored the leather. I called in a professional. He wanted $200.00 to $400.00 to re-dye the couch. I went on the web and did a search for "leather repair kits". Your company showed up in the search so I navigated to your site. One of the colors in your color chart looked like a perfect match. I ordered your basic kit and today finished the repair. THE COUCH LOOKS LIKE NEW! I am not kidding. I know your website says that "the repair may look like a repair". But this exceeds all expectations. Thank you.

• Our beautiful, new living room furniture was just delivered on Saturday from Ethan Allen. By the following Wednesday, one of our three cats had decided that the new leather recliner made a perfect scratching post and she had done so much damage that I was sick to my stomach. The cushion was torn up in all four corners and the armrests had large scratches and visible little holes in them. My husband and I were so upset -- both with the cat and with ourselves for getting leather furniture given our choice of pets.

  Anyway, in desperation, I did a search on the internet to see if there was any product that could help undo the damage. Like everyone else, I was skeptical about your product, but I figured I had nothing to lose. The chair already looked lousy. What a happy ending! The day your package arrived in the mail, I spent about 45 minutes working on the chair, and Voila! It looks terrific. Okay -- it's not straight-from the-factory perfect, but NOBODY would ever notice that there had been any damage done unless specifically pointed it out to them. It really looks great. I can look at the chair and smile again.

  By the way, on the same day that I found your product on the internet, I found another product to solve my "kitty" problem. Given that many of your testimonials are from people who have had their furniture ruined by their cats, maybe you'll let me pass along this website. I found a product called "softpaws" -- sold at www.softpaws.com -- which are little acrylic tips that I've glued onto my cats claws so that they are no longer sharp. My "girls" have now been wearing them for 10 days and they work beautifully! Hopefully, the softpaws will continue to keep my chair safe, and I now have peace of mind knowing that if they do somehow inflict more damage, I have my magic mender kit to make it all better.

  Thanks so much.

• I have just finished using your color-flex product on the front seats of my 1996 BMW 328iC. I am a writer by trade, and a bigmouth by nature yet I find my initial reaction is utter speechlessness.
  
  I almost regret telling my friends I was going to use the product because I could just as easily have said I spent thousands having the seats reupholstered. The results are truly that incredible. For application, I treated the seats like I was staining a piece of furniture. First, I painted the color-flex on in sections then gently wiped off the excess with a clean dry rag. I repeated this process three or four times and the result was a perfect match and a completely even application.
  
  As someone who makes a living writing advertisements, I wish Magic Mender was one of my clients because I have never been so impressed with any product I have ever purchased in my life. If you aren't selling millions of these kits a year... you should be. Plus... every detail shop and auto restorer in the country should know about this product.
  
  Thanks for such a terrific product and for making my beloved Bimmer ragtop a beautiful car again.

• I just finished repairing the seat in my 1990 Dodge Stealth. Your product was as easy to use as spreading butter on toast, and the color-flex finish was a PERFECT match to the car's interior.   I was worried about having enough Color-flex dye to finish the repair but, there was enough to cover all of the scratches on both front seats and I still have half the bottle left. I can't believe how great the repair looks!  All that is left is to see how the repair holds up.

• Very seldom do I ever run across a product that delivers what is promised. Your product, however, delivered outstanding results - exactly as advertised. The back seat to my 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis was badly cracked. A leather shop in town wanted over $200 to repair the seat; A salvage yard wanted over $500 for a "used" seat cushion providing they could even find one that matched. After investing less than $50.00 for your automotive kit, I repaired two very deep cuts in the seat cushion, and numerous surface cracks. I am totally amazed at how perfectly the Color-Flex finish matched the color of the original interior. The seat cushion looks as good as new.

  Once again, thanks for producing such a wonderful product.

• I was hesitant to attempt the repair of the seat on my 2000 Z3.  A  2" x 4" area had rubbed through the vinyl from getting in and out of the car while wearing a pager.
   
  The repair turned out great! It can only be detected by very close examination.   My only regret is that I did not do a before and after picture.  Thanks for a great product.  (By the way, the pager is history)

• Thanks.  I did my Mercedes seats this weekend with the sprayer and it came out *amazingly * well.  As long as the dye holds up over time -- we'll see -- this is just a killer system.  I would be surprised if a professional upholstery shop could do a better job.  If found it necessary to really screw up my courage because the stuff went on much darker than it ultimately ended up, and I wondered if it was too dark but over the course of an hour or so it lightened up to just the right color...

• I just wanted to write a quick note to inform you of how impressed I am with your product. My husband and I recently purchased a navy leather couch. We have cats, but the sales person assured us that the cats would never touch our leather. She said that for some reason cats don't like the feel of scratching on leather. My husband didn't by the sales pitch, but I believed her. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Our cats punctured hundreds of small holes in our new couch. I was physically sick over the problem and embarrassed that I could be so gullible. I was ashamed to even invite guests over because the couch looked so horrible. I called the furniture retailer, the couch manufacturer, and checked local leather repair shops to see if anyone could help us fix the damage. No one could offer me a solution. As a last resort, I went to the Internet. I was definitely skeptical when I stumbled onto your website, but I figured that the situation couldn't get any worse, so I gave your product a shot. It worked miracles! You can't even tell that my couch was damaged and the color matches perfectly!! I am so impressed that I would recommend your product to anyone!
  
  Thank you very much,

• My husband and I just bought a brand new leather couch. We kept it covered during the day so our cats wouldn't get to it, but wouldn't you know, curiosity got to them. One day I came home from work and the covers were off and the couch was scratched on all three seat cushions and the arms. (We hadn't even paid off the couch yet!) Long story short--we bought Magic Mender and the scratches are virtually invisible!
  
  Thank you!

• My name is Tina McKay and I just received your repair kit a few days ago. I was about ready to give up on my leather couch and love seat as it had a hole in the arm the size of a dime and a lot of wear on the seats. I even told my husband a few days ago that I think we need to purchase a new set. I gave your kit a try and I am amazed! You can barely tell where the hole was and today I started using the color flex coating and have decided to do the entire surface of my furniture. It almost looks new again! Thank you so much for having such a great product. You saved me 1500.00 on a new set of furniture and now I do not have to cover up the hole with a throw blanket when company comes over out of embarrassment.

• I purchased the Automotive Color Flex for my 1999 Toyota Avalon, in order to cover up some horrible black scratches that the previous owner left from a cell phone installation. His scratches went through the interior paint in multiple locations, and really took away from the beauty of an Avalon interior. I actually got $500 knocked off the price of the vehicle because of the damage, and repaired it to like new condition with your kit for less than $30. Wonderful products...you should be commended.

• I have something to say about the automotive leather repair kit that I purchased from you.

  Excellent!  I couldn't believe how well the color you provided matched the original color of my car seats.
  My car seats suffered from dry cracks from years of abuse.  Your kit made all the cracks disappear and gave my seats a new smooth appearance.
  I'm very satisfied with the results and considering how much money I saved, it is well worth it.

• Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with your product.  Our $1300 leather recliner was damaged on the right arm by the dogs nails.  About 15 puncture holes, 2 of which had to be plugged.  I brought pictures of the damaged chair to the Leather Furniture where I purchased it.  I was told they could recover the arm for approximately $250 plus pick-up, delivery and shipping to the factory.  After searching the net, I came to "Magic Mender"  Decided to give it a try, and "VOILA"  It did a great job.  Thanks

• Just wanted to say that your product works exactly as advertised.  I had the opportunity to pick up a leather sofa and leather loveseat at a nearly 75% discount.  The loveseat had a very small tear along the side when it was being delivered to the original buyer.  I did the repair today using Magic Mender and it was easy.   I ordered the black kit and it was a near perfect match.  If you didn't know where the repair was made chances are you would never find it.

  I previously tried another company's kit, but theirs was too difficult to use.  With Magic Mender,  I effortlessly repaired my  Jaguar seats and my leather sofa, both turned out great, better than expected.  The colors are perfect.

You can be assured that I will tell everyone I know where they can find your kits. 
Thank you for selling a product that really works.

• ...My two cats, who had never touched furniture before, decided that the new leather furniture was the place too start sharpening their claws.  My husband first noticed it around the beginning of June and was ready to kill the cats. I told him that there had to be something out there to repair it. He didn't believe me. I didn't believe me. But I crossed my fingers and went on the internet to see if there was anything that might make it look better. I found your site and ordered your kit.  I put off doing the repair for a month. (I really didn't think it would work). Today I finally worked on one of the arms of the love seat that had been terribly torn up.
  
  I and my husband are amazed.  We can't see any signs of the damage.  The color match is perfect and all of the cat damage is gone. To top it all, it was easy and fast.
  
  I, George and Gracie, (the cats), thank you for the reprieve from a fate that was none to happy.  My husband and I thank you for saving our investment.

• I want to express my thanks for the help your company gave me when I was in need of trying to repair my leather recliner and couch.
  
  I followed the explicit instructions carefully and the results were great. You cannot find the areas that were scratched.  The color in the custom kit was an excellent match.  My son has recently purchased leather furniture and with children in his home who knows he might need help as I did.  I also have been in touch with the household moving company that did the damage and they
  want to know how successful I was so that they might recommend your company. This also saves them money because it a lot less expensive than a complete reupholstering of the chair.
  
  Thank you again.

• I used the kit to repair a $1300 red leather chair torn by a screwdriver.
  
  Although I used only a 3/4" circle of the sub-patch, a minuscule amount of glue, and the tiniest amount of filler, the color (Napa red) was an almost exact match, the repair detectable only by the feel of the sub-patch in the back.
  
  Thank you!

This is the first time I have tried to repair leather, but with your help and product I found it quit easy to follow your directions. I think it came out very good and the color could not of matched closer. ( Looks better than the picture )

• I am so delighted with the results of my repairs that I had to write to let you know!  I was skeptical before I made my purchase but I figured it was worth the money to give it a try (replacement cost was estimated at $300).  I was selling my 1996 Lexus and needed to repair a hole and some cracking in the front seat.  I not only repaired the drivers seat but the passenger seat as well, with just the one kit, I still have some of the products left.  WOW!  My seats looked like new!  Because the seats turned out so well, I raised the price of my car by $700, and I got my asking price.  Your Automotive kit is worth it's weight in gold!
