2.6.6 Fabric Protection


Fabric protection protects the vehicles interior fabric against permanent stains.  Fabric protection forces spills to bead up so they can be wiped away with a sponge or paper towel before the stains are allowed to set.

Most common brands of fabric protection usually only provide a temporary surface coating.  These coatings usually go away fairly quickly leaving the fabric unprotected.

Professional brands protect fabric by penetrating the fiber without changing the color, texture, look, feel or breathing ability of the fabric. Professional fabric protection also can increase the life of the interior fabric by preventing friction causing dirt from penetrating the fibers. When buying fabric protection the buyer should also ensure the fabric protection is odor-free, nontoxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable.
