Coconix Leather Vinyl Repair Kit Fix Tears Holes Scratches and Peeling on Leather and Vinyl Furniture Car Seats

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. Read more

This product works as advertised. It has great documentation to help you get started and an even more amazing customer support. They were able to guide me on my repair journey and followed up to make sure I was happy with the results. It was very easy and just a little bit of patience to get the color just right, then just apply the product and let it dry, it might take a lot of reapplications to fill everything and make it look seamless, but it is worth it. The container helps keeping the color mixture fresh between applications so you don't have to remix color. It comes with a wide variety of colors to match your color, I sent support a photo of my leather and replied with the primary and secondary color and they were right on spot. Product is easy to clean, just a little bit of rubbing alcohol and it goes away, so don't be afraid to use it. It has almost no chemical smell and after 4 layers I can say the durability check passes when the kids ran over it and played with the fix remaining in place. Amazing product and I promise you support will grab your hand through the whole process until you are completely satisfied. Read more

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 color Cons: **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 answer Overall 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.

requires too many steps for me to complete the small repair.- matching paint - I found just using a small piece of fabric and leather glue was easiest and best way for me to repair the leather car seat. I could see your method working best for long tears / dashboard cracking. Read more
