Fabricadabra 1 Litre Spray

• Nano-based sealant for fabric roofs and upholstery
• Repels water, dirt, and contaminants while staying breathable
• Dries to an invisible layer when consistently applied – no change to colour or texture
• Long-lasting protection (6 months+) with simple spray-on application, or brush on multiple coats for ultimate performance

1. For seats/interior upholstery, ensure the surface is as clean as possible and apply Fabricadabra either as a spray or via a clean paint brush, avoiding tidemarks and keeping wet edges to a minimum (apply up to seam lines etc)
2. Allow to dry (15 mins or so in normal conditions) and then repeat the process; more coats generally mean more water repellence

For soft-tops

1. Ensure the canvas/fabric roof is washed, rinsed and clean (you may want to use Fibre Reviver or the even stronger Total Wipe Out APC for this); once clean, either allow the roof to dry for maximum performance or apply the product to a wet surface for better flow
2. Apply Fabricadabra either as a spray or via a brush; if applied using a saturation technique, apply it to complete panels in a section at a time, up to stitch lines, creases, folds or other natural material breaks - this helps prevent watermark effects. Allow to dry and then repeat the process; more coats will mean more water repellence...
3. After application, try and keep the hood dry for 24 hours; it's not a deal breaker but rain can pull sealant off onto surrounding paintwork if the sealant has not cured and you want the best longevity you can so fully curing the product over a full day is recommended (garage application is the ideal state of affairs, or wait until a long period of fine weather)

Is it safe on all fabrics?
Fabricadabra is designed for soft tops and interior fabrics without altering their look or feel, but care should always be taken to apply a consistent and even coverage of product - any high spots or drops/runs may look different.

How often should I reapply?
Every few months, or sooner if water repellency fades. On garaged cars a few coats of sealant may last years, but normally 3-6 months is to be expected. It depends on wear/use and how much sunlight the fabric is exposed to.

Do I need to prep the surface first?
Yes, clean and dry the fabric thoroughly before applying. Otherwise you could be sealing contaminants in - inconsistent finishes are often because invisible contamination is preventing the product soaking into the fabric evenly. Even if you can't see it, contamination may still be there in the form of natural grease from skin, fabric conditioners on clothes, hand cream, suntan lotion etc.

Can it be layered for extra protection?
Yes, multiple coats will boost durability and increase water repellency - up to a point. Tightly woven fabrics will perform better than loosely woven or high pile materials. The smoother your fabric is, the easier it will be to protect. Very rough materials may resist application entirely.

What if no product is absorbed at all into the fabric?
Some fabrics are completely water repellent by nature, say 100% polyester. These will not absorb any coatings, although sealants may still sit on top of the fibres or add additional protection.
