They also suggest that you should make sure that the surface is sufficiently saturated with the product as a second coat won&#8217;t be possible due to the first coat repelling any moisture, stopping a second coat from drying, so I made sure to completely cover the matt on application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_eabe09-1e .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_eabe09-1e\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-1537x2048.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-788x1049.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gtechniq-Smart-Fabric-5-600x799.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you are applying it to fabric seats inside the car, I wouldn\u2019t think you may need to remove the seats to allow the spray to get into all the crevices. However, this is not an essential step in the process.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I found that my car mats had completely dried after application within one hour, admittedly I did carry out my test indoors so I would allow a little longer than this if you are applying the spray to the car&#8217;s fabric outside, and the instruction does say to allow 24 hours to completely dry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There was no visible change to the fabric during application as the liquid is clear, however, the smell is extremely strong and has a very chemical like odour. It was quite overpowering if I\u2019m honest and the smell travelled throughout my house. Even after the mats had dried I could still smell the chemical odour and the smell didn\u2019t disappear for a good 3-4 days so I would prepare for this.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_48481f-5c, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_48481f-5c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_48481f-5c\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_48481f-5c mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_48481f-5c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_48481f-5c\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_48481f-5c wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_48481f-5c\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Durability<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gtechniq claims that the product will last between 6-12 months depending on how \u2018used\u2019 the surface is. I would suggest that if the carpet is in a worn condition then you won\u2019t get the best results from the product. Luckily my mats are in decent condition with minimal wear so I\u2019m interested to see just how long it remains on the fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the hydrophobic effect lasts 12 months then this will be an extremely good product, however, I can\u2019t give a definite answer to the longevity as yet because I have only just applied it. For now, I will base my score on their quoted timeframe, but I will monitor this and keep the review updated.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One claim they make is that wash tests reveal the performance level remained at full capacity even after being washed on a 40-degree cycle, and still performed well after 5 washes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Again without washing my mats it would be difficult for me to confirm this but it is something worth revisiting in the future as if the claims are true then this would make it a pretty special fabric sealant indeed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ff3628-44, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ff3628-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_ff3628-44\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ff3628-44 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_ff3628-44[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_ff3628-44\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_ff3628-44 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_ff3628-44\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hydrophobicity<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I was pleasantly surprised with the number of hydrophobic properties that the Gtechniq Smart Fabric achieved on the fibres of the mat.

I think this explains the very strong odour that is left behind when used!<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Zirconium Tetrabutanolate is a liquid compound that enables the chemical impregnation process on fabrics, giving it hydrophobic properties. It is extremely flammable and can irritate the skin, so for this reason I would highly recommend that you use rubber gloves, a mask and safety glasses when applying Smart Fabric.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Zinc pyrithione is an antifungal chemical that inhibits the division of fungal cells, effectively preventing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/how-to-remove-mould-algae-and-mildew-from-your-car\/\">removing the chances of mould<\/a> from being produced within the fabric.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9a1a42-7c\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Value for Money<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gtechniq Smart Fabric AB certainly isn&#8217;t the cheapest fabric sealant available.
