Great product- easy to apply- excellent quality

I used this protectant on a bimini and dodger on a sailboat.I like the fact that this water proofer also includes a UV protectant. Something I normally would apply to the fabric with a separate product.Besides the duel protection aspect, I also liked the application being done with a pump sprayer vs an aerosol can spray.Initially I thought it might be a negative not being in a spray can, but it turned out to be a plus. I've used the spray can varieties for years and have always been irritated that a major percentage of the the fine spray gets blown away and never gets on the fabric. I found the pump sprayer to be a more accurate application method with better control.I followed the instructions and it worked as described. These are basically the same for all protectant products. The fabric needs to be clean and dry otherwise you are just waterproofing the dirt into the fabric.It's only been on for a short while, so I can't measure it's UV protection properties.The negative is that it is a considerably more expensive product that I usually use.I do believe that this is offset by it the reduced waste of the pump spray application vs the aerosol application. Aerosol can sprays are up to 15% propellant and not actual waterproofing product. The included UV protectant also means one less product to purchase and apply.The smell of the product is a bit stronger than I expected but it dissipated pretty quickly. I wouldn't care either way as this was a boat exterior application.

I bought this to protect the fabric covers I have for my boat. The smell Was very strong so be sure to use this outside. It goes on easy and dries quickly. I am hoping that it works well on these covers. I have to change them every 2-3 years because of rot. Hopefully this will extend that time. I gave it 4 stars because it will take a few years before I really know if it works on my covers. Fingers crossed!

It's a great product that only needs to be applied to clean surfaces and saturate and let dry for protection. I applied to my outdoor seat cushions for a patio set and they're extremely hydrophobic now. We'll see how long it lasts with friction from sitting on the cushions. It does have a little solvently smell so make sure to spray outdoors or will good ventilation. If you're someone who may use professionally and frequently, I would prob. be sure to wear a painters facemask, not just a dust mask. Would recommend for any fabric waterproofing.

I got this to waterproof the canvas bimini top on my boat. The bimini measures approximately 25 sq ft. The included sprayer made it very easy to saturate the canvas and I used about 3/4 of the bottle to fully waterproof the bimini. It dried fairly quickly, about 30 minutes, and then I noticed that the color of the canvas was darker, like it had been restored to its original color. I've used many other waterproofing products and have not seen this color change with other products.Most importantly, this product was very effective. After my bimini was waterproofed and had dried, I sprayed it with water and there was no seepage of water through the canvas. The water simply beaded up and ran off.

This product is very effective for waterproofing outdoor items like cushions, umbrellas, canopy covers, tents, etc. I applied it to the new cushions we put on our porch swing and egg chair, and it has performed very well so far. Water doesn’t soak in; it just beads up and runs off, and our cushions haven’t gotten any mildew smell. I plan to keep using this product and will probably order more to do another treatment later in the summer if necessary.

I've been a long-time fan of Gtechniq, having used their products for over a decade. I was delighted to see I could try one of their new products through Amazon Vine. Although I have other fabric coating/protecting detailing products, I was quite excited to see what Gtechniq came up with in thier Marine offering. I decided to use this on some pieces of travel apparel to boost their water resistance. The first up was a pair of Outlier Futuredarts pants, which already come with a DWR coating which I assumed was mostly lost due to numerous washes and wears. Joining them are Solomon Pulsar Advanced shoes, which only weigh a few ounces and are prefect for lightweight travel. I cleaned them both thoroughly, then applied 3 coatings to each. The spray itself has a rather powerful chemical smell, so be sure to use in a well-ventillated area!The pants and shoes accompanied my on a recent trip abroad, where as expected it rained unexpectedly. The pants did a phenominal job of repelling the steady rainfall, and left me surprisingly dry by the time I made it to shelter. The same could be said about the shoes- no water made it in until I stepped in a deep puddle which allowed some water to enter through the breathable mesh. Both items dried thoroughly and quickly, and there was no change to the look and feel of the materials.My biggest concern, though, isn't at all related to the performance of the product but rather its environmental impact. Even though it's advertised as a Marine product it comes with a warning that the product itself can cause severe and long-lasting harm to marine life. For that reason, I can't recommend using the product for marine applications.
