    WATER-PROOF SPRAY PROTECTS FABRICS FROM WATER & OIL-BASED STAINS

    Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric protects all kinds of fabrics from water and oil based stains. It is breathable and extremely durable thanks to unique Gtechniq 3S Smart Surface Science. With added BioCote® antimicrobial technology, treated surfaces will kill 99.9% of bacteria.

    Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric makes ordinary fabrics waterproof and easy to clean. Use it to prevent soaking, swelling or rotting on any fabric. From sails, tents and awnings to your cars soft top and interior.

    The nano particles of I1 coat each fabric fibre individually, leaving the texture unaffected, allowing the material to breathe. This means stale air will still be able to escape, while repelling water and oil-based liquids.

    Being alcohol based ensures much deeper penetration of the active ingredient giving an I1 treated surface much better durability and overall performance. Typically an I1 treated surface will last 5 times longer than conventional water repellent coatings, with the lifespan of the product on soft tops for as long as 3 years.

    Directions

    • If using on an interior surface, use I2 TriClean to prepare the surface you are going to treat
    • Make sure the surface you have cleaned is thoroughly dry (for best results 48 hours in good drying conditions) before applying I1 Smart Fabric. For the optimal impregnation of I1 into your fabric, its moisture content must be below 15% which is significantly dryer than touch dry
    • Shake well before use and wear gloves
    • Apply at a temperature of 5°C or above, in a well ventilated area
    • Use out of direct sunlight
    • Apply by spraying evenly from a distance of about 15cm ensuring thorough saturation of the surface you are covering.
    • Make sure your application is thorough as once Smart Fabric has dried, you cannot apply a second coat, as the first coat will repel additional product
    • Avoid over spraying on surrounding substrates, if this happens, wipe immediately with a microfibre buff cloth. Also wipe any excess from the fabric with an MF1
    • Leave to dry for 24 hours, after this time the full effectiveness of the product will be achieved
    • Store in a cool, dry place
    • Use product within 12 months of opening

    Amazing product

    So while I haven't used it in a car yet this product is insane, my wife and I collect sneakers and we seen it on a YouTube review and thought I would try it out with the shoes in mind.

    So far I have tried it on over 20 shoes with various material from, suede, canvas, cotton, leather, vegan leather and so far has worked amazing water beads of all these materials like crazy you can pour water over a canvas shoes with your hand inside and not a dribble.

    This is such a better cost effective solution in the 1ltr than any other shoe protectors on the market and promise's higher durability but only time will tell about that as it isn't made for shoes but on the plus side can use in it my car waiting for the next time I extract the carpets to try it out, have not noticed any residue marks on anything and super easy to apply
