stain repellant

Yep.
303 Hi Tech Fabric Guard is used on the carpet in a couple of my vehucles and on the upholstery of one.
As far as how it works, I haven't a clue. Everything is easy to clean and doesn't seem to stain. Everything was easy to clean and didn't stain before I started using it. We aren't too hard on the interiors of our vehicles.
 
Newer vehicles already have it in the material...I'm not sure about the long term effects of a "sealant" on fabric...and the foam below it.
 
I use the most effective stain repellent you can use. Its called a swift kick to the curb if you bring anything into my car that has the possibility to stain. I won't even drink a beverage in my car. Food in any form has never entered the door. :D I won't even get grocerys in my car.

How about someone with a big head of hair? Maybe some hairspray, possibly even shedding. A tanktop that allows body sweat to contact the interior would also need to be banned.:D

I've got that problem under control too. I wear a hair net when I'm driving. Summertime in Florida is no laughing matter. The sweat thing concerns me. That is why I had all my pores surgicly sealed so I don't sweat anymore. I have a valve by my ankle that I just open once in awhile and drain the sweat out. ....ok, that was probably more information than you wanted to know. Sorry. :p
 
I hate how some topics just get lost in the joking sometimes. Keep the discusion going please. I've thought about doing this as well and am wondering if anyone has had good/bad experiences.
 
Don't get me wrong humor has it's place. Even in this forum. It just shouldn't occupy more than HALF A THREAD! That drives me nuts. Glad to hear you agree with me charles.
 
Now Fuzz go back to moderating...

I think i have a sample of something my chemist made somewhere for upholstery....who 's interested in trying it
 
Well Dan..what would you be using it on?

Koop what would you use it on?


...i was thinking rt would be the best test since he's the one looking to try something and Charles has already tried one and I'd like a comparison if I'm going to ever add it to my line
 
I've done scotch guarding b4 on household carpet and apolstry and it HELPS! i even purposefully did some stain tests and it really made the work a lot easier. Just have never let it enter the gaurage. IF i had it i'd be using it on 5 daily drivers i have laying around the driveway. All family cars that i have access too. Two are taurses one is a 2k jetta one is an old 93 ford probe. The last is a chevy blazer that gets a lot of abuse.

Edit: Don't give it to me unless you really want to. I doubt i'd be the best test subject. I'd just like to help you with r and d and check out a cool new prodcut b4 it hit the market.
 
If i read the directions the chemist gave me correctly...it's intended for new cloth and made to keep it that way....using it on a seat or carpet that is already stained or soiled would take away from the testing results....but i appreciate the offer Koop

so who has a new seat that can try something out????
 
When I get a new car, the first thing that happens is that I Scotchguard the carpets and other applicable areas. Does it help? Who knows? I never eat in the car, although I will drink bottled water on long trips. Scotchguard is pretty well proven to help prevent stains from setting and I never had a problem with it staining fabric, so I guess it's worth a few bucks for a can at your local Walmart. I am pretty sceptical that any more expensive products will work any better, but i'm always open to being wrong and learning something new.
 
my chemist said he put his patented UV protectant in the mixture ,which is supposed to help against fading...
I'd like to know how good it really is, but my seats are older...now that I'm thinking...I have a new van with cloth seats..hmmm....guess what I'm trying tomorrow...anyone for the rest of the bottle that can help in the testing...guess there's no slobs among us..lol
 
The cloth seats in both the taurses are pristene. I take care of the. how could they be otherwise? no soiling what so ever.
