Preventing mold and mildew growth is crucial as once these microbes take hold of a fabric surface, they can be difficult to remove and can even start to degrade fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI1 Smart Fabric protects all kinds of fabrics from water-based stains. It is breathable and extremely durable, thanks to Gtechniq’s unique scientific formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI1 makes ordinary fabrics waterproof and easy to clean. Use it to prevent soaking, swelling or rotting on any fabric. Ideal for use on your cars convertible roof or interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmart Fabric is color safe. Nano particles that make up I1 Smart Fabric coat each fabric fiber individually, leaving the texture unaffected, allowing the material to breathe. This means stale air will still be able to escape, while repelling water and and oil-based liquids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Tip: Smart Fabric can be used on all fabrics including convertible roofs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra Hydrophobic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven more hydrophobic than its predecessor, I1 Smart Fabric V3 leaves no remnants of a spillage and moisture simply falls off a coated surface. Laboratory testing reveals that I1 V3 repels water to the highest standard set by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) – ISO 5. And wash tests reveal the product remains at its full performance level after being washed on a 40 degree cycle, and even after five washes still performs better than its predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn average I1 will last on a cars interior for between 6 and 12 months – depending how ‘used’ the surface is. On convertible roofs the product will last for up to 2 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Steps To Help You Get The Best Results\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf using on an interior surface, use I2 TriClean to prepare the surface you are going to treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor exterior use, use W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner neat for dirty surfaces, or dilute at a ratio of 5:1 with water for less soiled areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure the surface you have cleaned is thoroughly dry (for best results 48 hours in good drying conditions) before applying I1 Smart Fabric.
