Product Review: CarPro CQuartz Fabric & Leather Coat
Introduction:
I recently got a replacement pair of work boots and didn’t like how the Scotchgard held up on the old pair so I decided to try something out that I could use on vehicles as well. Originally I spent $10 on a can of Scotchgard that I was only able to get one application out of. So spending $21.99 (100ml) to try this stuff out was easily justified, not to mention the free shipping no minimum promo that just so happened to be running at the time.
Product Description / Claims:
Cquartz Fabric & Leather protection is nano-technology based and is an extremely durable Super HydroPhobic product for fabric, vinyl, and leather protecting against UV degradation, sweat, salt, water, liquids, dirt, bacteria, and stains. Fabric & Leather Coat does all this without affecting the breath-ability of the material. Traditional products make fabrics feel stiff and clog the weave of the fabric, preventing breath-ability. They are unable to stand up to tough cleaners and less resistant to wear. Using nanotechnology, our treatment is small enough to attach to individual fibers, delivering superior performance characteristics without compromising the look, feel, or comfort of the fabric and without clogging the fabric weave.
Cquartz Fabric & Leather transforms the substrate into a super hydrophobic surface that is both durable, flexible, and long lasting against harsh or caustic detergents.

Pros:
Final Thought / Summary:
Only time will tell how well the product holds up. So far I am extremely happy with the hydrophobic properties, which far surpass Scotchgard. I think I may have found a more durable, economical and versatile product.
