- Ever wonder which spray on fabric protection works best for you car? I test 9 different products ranging from $.63 per ounce up to $2.41 per ounce side by side to see which one performs the best. Fabric protection for you car can help reduce the likely hood of permanent stains, add hydrophobic properties, and keep you cars interior looking its best! I will go through pricing, application, and two tests to see which carpet and fabric protection product works best... ENJOY!!!

Could you do another test but with light color carpet and some grape juice?
Would be interesting to see this with tan carpet and coffee
Right. My wife has a tan interior in her toyota highlander and its hard keeping it clean with the kids.
Great great video! Thank you! And the fact you actually let the product do what it needs to before testing is amazing! A lot of people will just fake it and say “oh yeah it cured for the 24 hours” and do the test the same day a couple hours later. Thank you for the great content man! It helps tremendously on my end also!
This was an impressive comparison mate, well done. I’m curious why you didn’t test 303 fabric guard which I would have thought was the most reliable?
I used 303 one layer on my convertible top and wow very good! So with my second laywer soon i will be more than good for rain! I am sure it is the best my boat cover sunbrella say to use 303 and sunbrella is the best!
I appreciate you being so thorough. Thank you so much bro
Appreciate the content and thorough testing.
The 3M looked impressive for the price when you put the hose on it and allowed the water flow right over it.
Yea price to performance I would go with the 3m scotchguard
Very thorough test, much better than the "advertisement" tests with the obligatory "WOW, look how it beads". I had been searching for this kind of comparison for quite some time. Am a big fan of your channel, keep up the good work.
Awesome Josh, thanks for all your dedication to putting out quality content man!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a comparison like this, thanks Josh 👍😁
Great test, thanks
This is actually super useful!
Love your channel dude
Thanks for putting all the effort into setting up this test. Very useful. If you do this again in the future, I’d love to see the top 3-4 products pitted against Car Pro, 303 and Gyeon.
So you're saying that car pro is good?
@@sjc3532car pro are fantastic
I thought he put a lot more product on the everything but the first 4
Carpro Fabric = > best of the best
Nice test. I've been curious as to how well these types of products actually work.👏
Great video
Didn't think there'd be much different. Scotch guard...absolutely
This is an excellent and complete comparison. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job thank you.
Wow, excellent video. So thorough!
Glad you liked it!
thank you for this
Great test josh
Thanks!!
Great video, thanks very much 👍
A comparison like this is unusual and very interesting.
I've never had much luck with any product like this - even ceramic infused ones. It seems that as soon as the surface tension gets broken it's game over and the water just soaks in.
Apart from water it would be interesting to test the resistance to stains.
Good luck buddy 🇬🇧
Nice comparison josh!
Great Video! Opens the door for a light cloth vs Coffee/Cola test...
Another great video. I use the Chemical guys fabric, but I might switch to basic Scoth Guard for the $$$
nothing beats the good old Scotchgard for the price, thank you for the test
good stuff mane
For all your hard work I subscribed this was helpful! Would be cool to see used on like a couch or different fabric/materials or if they make one for like leather ?
Thanks!
Thank You !!!!!
Great video as usual, what hose reel do you use in your mobile set up for your pressure washer hose?
Would love to see how these hold up with lighter color carpets and how they do with stain protection. Personally, I like for the seats to repel liquids and stains and the carpets/floor mats to absorb liquid but repel stains.
great video
We use the 3M Scotchguard Auto Fabric & Carpet Water Shield in our business because it gives consistent results and is highly cost effective.
I have a can of scotch guard and I’m about to offer this service part of my detailing so I want to buy the gtechniq but I saw you mention 3m so just looking for input.
@@E85_STI $ for $ unless you buy an very expensive pro grade product you are going to have a hard time beating the value of a $10 can of Scotchguard. If your a business you want to be profit driven in your choices. Customer expectation, ease and time to install should also be taken into account. Many comparison videos here on CZcams to back it up.
@@altillman1448 I appreciate it and yeah my customers don’t ask for it but I just want to throw some type of protection for them as some don’t have all weather mats. I’m going to try out my can if 3M and see what it does for my carpet mats but I have all weather mats so they don’t see dirt.
Thanks for video excellent setup! Could you test for more than waterproofing maybe coffee or pop, syrup or dirt that'd be cool to see
Hydro thread works the best on shoes lol every part of vans I own are treated and look amazing for being years old
That CERATEX looked pretty good. I have used Gtechniq Smartfabric with the bio-kleen additive and it works great but has a VERY strong chemical smell to it and you have to vent it. It's by far the best performer but again, it's pretty expensive, but you do get what you paid for, it works. I don't think any fabric protector totally blocks liquid, but they are primarily designed to hold the liquid on top for a short period and you are supposed to wick up the liquid as soon as possible. In that context, these do work better than having nothing on your fabrics. Even the cheaper ones, used more heavily and add several more coats than what it says, using a brush or your hand with a latex glove on and work the product into the fibers well. That helps the products to work tremendously. I have done it both ways, with many different fabric protectors, and I have had luck with the 3M fabric guard product worked into the fibers with my glove covered hand, three coats, reapplied after each coat dried fully. I work the product in one way first, then respray and work it into the opposite direction and so on all four directions to ensure even and complete covered. I think these products do have value, even if they don't totally block the stain. They help for sure. CarPro Fabric Coat 2.0 is sort of like Gtechniq in my opinion but an economical one that works at a high level also is that 3M Fabric Guard which can be used interior or exterior on fabric tops for good repellancy. I have also had good luck for years before all these new fandangled products came out with Scotch Guard in the spray can. I used that stuff for the past 30+ years on all my vehicle fabrics and it actually worked quite well. And it's available at almost any local retailer and/or supermarket for a good price. The Scotch Guard being the cheapest is the most economical way to do it, BY FAR. You can get four cans of that stuff for the price of some of the others and have a lot more product to work with allowing you to do multiple coats ensuring a better end result! Nice review and test Josh!
New to the channel and I'm stocked.
Would luv to see a video of the best top 3 gas powered pressure washers in the market. I'm actually shopping for 1.
Great video! What fabric protected do you personally use?
Nice. I just used the Epic a month ago. Looks like should have gone with ole reliable. Lol. I did drench the interior like soaking wet so hopefully it does something! And on a unrelated note, I received my MJJC Cannon and the Max Shine M8S today!
Amazing vid as usual bro just copped the Maxxshine, the Gtechniq is discontinued
Good subject
I’ve used Malco , GTech and P&S inspiration Fabric coating all good in my opinion. Josh try and look into P&S great video.
Checking in bro
Great review, I have to add this protection to our vehicles this spring. TW: "It smells potent, so it must be doing something" sounds like something the French castle guard in Monty Python's Holy Grail would say.....
I didn't know Scotch guard came with an auto product. I have a regular old Scotch guard for household upholstery that I used on my wife's car mats, it did the job just fine.
I’m sure it’s the same stuff just repackaged.
You didn’t have 303 fabric protectant on that table
I bet if you saturate and rub in the scotch guard that would perform better
👍👍👍 I e used the hydro thread before and wasn’t that impressed either
Angel Wax Shield is my go too for fabric but also use Gyeon Fabric
Been waiting for something like this. I had been using Scotchguard Outdoor as the hydrophobic properties were great, but the smell is intense for a few days haha. Unless you ozone.
Been looking for a lung-friendly alternative. Tried the Chemical Guys Hydro Thread stuff but it seemed useless imo.
Good video. Would like to see same type test on fabric seats. 2 pack 3m now 20 bucks (+60%, gotta love inflation)
Hi Josh. I have started my own mobile detailing business. I cleaned my personal car yesterday, 2011 Subaru Outback with cloth seats, to test chemical guys fabric cleaner. It worked great on the seats and I used my shop vac to suck out any soap/dirt.The seats mostly had a few stains, that's it. The windows where up on the car last night because of rain and I could not keep it in the garage, do to no room. The car has a musky odor now, even after having doors open all day in sunshine. I smelled the seats and they smell clean and are dry. I hope you can help. Thank you Kurt
Hey josh Can you use any of these products on a light colored headliner
By far the best ceramic i've ever used is Gliptone its a ceramic protector that is honestly supernatural
I'm curious with the 303 fabric guard
Some Sprays were heavy...... others were light. Wah Wah.
Great videos
For the higher end products can you approximate how many bottles it would take to do a total interior floors and seats on a brand new Toyota Rav 4.
I declined the dealer total car detailing. I’ve heard not worth the $900 charge.
Thanks
Can u do a review on 303 aerospace protectant have been hearing good things about it and with it being one of the few options that come in a gallon size I was thinking about giving it a try
I use 303 interior cleaner and then 303 protectant after finding it I will never use anything else’ the protectant makes black interiors look amazing’ hell even gray interiors’
I’ve not used 303 fabric but just ordered some’
If it’s anything like their other products I’m sure it will be very good!
Yes 303 protectant is like $20 a bottle but that last easily 4months cleaning every 2 weeks it’s worth every penny to me
Did you save these for a UV test ?
Would be good to see the Results as a follow up video link.
Scotch guard is tbe gold standard? Thought 303 was thr gold standard
Are these products suitable for the seats as well, or just carpets?
I would like to protect the interior ceiling from dog stains like saliva, etc. It is a light color. Would you recommend any particular protectant for that? My basic concern is color change or lasting odor. Thanks!
I watach some CG hydrotread clips and its diffrence resault
I need some guidance on what to use to clean and protect a convertible top after bringing it out of storage for the winter here in Michigan. The storage facility I used was apparently really dusty and there some other stuff on my top I'm assuming that was there before I put it into storage.
id use some all purpose cleaner and a brush and that should work great
Hey quick question have you used any products from fireball?
I know some of those you are supposed to.rub intto the fabric. Can you do a test between CARPRO Fabric 2.0 vs Gtecniq Smart Fabric v3?
lol love me some Griot's but they put out some duds from time to time
I love your videos and have bought items you liked, but testing porosity of a carpet doesn't have much value. Try using a white carpet and test how clean you can get them after getting them dirty. The only way to get some water proofing is to somehow create a film. Not a good idea for a carpet IMO.
Majority of these products work well against water based substances,however oil based stains is a better test.
Are you doing any giveaways soon? My pressure washer just took a 💩, love the content.
Just get the $100 Ryobi 1800psi pressure washer...you won't be disappointed
That’s the same one I have. Just a few modifications and it gets the job done.
@@Nintendude2013 what modifications did you do? I've never owned a pressure washer before. I see Home Depot has a 1,600 psi for $99 and 1,800 for $109. Both are 1.2 GPM
@@BarryRocha you can change the fittings and add quick connects. Owning a pressure washer is actually pretty cool. I have a small detailing business so that is why I own one. I bought the Ryobi $99 one I believe. I can further explain things I why you would want to modify the machine. In my situation I wanted to increase the water flow as it is okay. Two things when buying a pressure washer is GPM and the pressure. If your doing small work around the house or detailing you can get away with a n electric pressure washer. If you are doing pressure washing like for properties or more power I would choose a gas pressure washer. I can further explain or recommend some machines if you’re interested.
Are you supposed to let it cure before you put a second coat? Or just until it’s dry?
Does the Epic one provide UV protection?
Great test. Would've loved to see P&S's fabric coating, Gyeon's fabric coating, and Car Pro's fabric coating..... Maybe we can see a 4-way head to head next, with Gtech being the reigning champ, and the 3 others being premium brand competitors?
Are any of these safe on ventilated suede seats?
Can you please review SunJoe 48V 1196 PSI pressure washer.
Tried 2 sunjoes last year … imo trash they both leaked and r nothing but plastic’ 1200 psi is barley hood for washing a car u really want 2k psi to be more universal
To clean concrete you’ll want 3000 psi or more
Have you compared Nanoman Car Fabric + Textile?
💯
Sorry brother Scotchgard is the winner I think I'll rub it in and put a second coat as well😂
It seems the ones that work the best aren't really practical in the detailing world. Nobody is going to not use their car for 48 hours or be ok with a potent smell. Scotch guard seems to be the most practical for daily drivers. Smart Fabric would be the best for show vehicles or high dollar vehicles that likely would have spills in them anyways.
I was wondering if I can use those products on faux suede. I have ez access here to chemical guys, thinking on applye on faux suede part of my car as also floor and my shoes xD
Probably a water based fabric guard.
does this work on car seats? like cloth seats
Yea definitely. It will break down faster from the constant compression of the padding and flex of the fibers, but it should still work well. Just always do a small test spot first to make sure there are no issues for color
Since some of the products does not require a second coat and you used a second coat, that could be the reason for fabric stiffness. Just saying. Also did you use the same blue towel to wipe up water from each sample? If you did the stickiness could be due to the multiple uses of removing water and some of the protectants from each sample, so when you got to the end it was reacting to the other products. Overall this was a great video. Thanks.
I used a different towel for wash section. Yes the multiple coats could potentially be the cause of the stiffness. That’s a good point
Your tests are skewed chemical guys did pretty well compared to what you said they did😂😅😂
The most pointless test I’ve ever seen. Trying to protect fabric not fill a swimming pool. Did the fabric protection prevent staining of the fabric surfaces? Impossible to tell, particularly since no staining agent was applied and it would be hard to tell with black fabric. Sorry if my comment is a bit harsh but maybe the title could be changed to water repellency test and another video is available that covers stain protection. I have fabrics with open holes that I am trying to protect and looking for stain protection, not water repellency.
2nd
This would’ve been a fantastic video if you would have used light colored carpet and coffee or some kind of dark drink it kind of defeated the entire purpose of the video.
Next time can you show the bottles when your taking about each product. I’m a visual kinda girl.
You got it!
I can attest the Chemical Guys hydro slick fabric is complete garbage to the point where I feel scammed
Did you even read the instructions on any of them. I watched a chemical guys video on them and you're suppose to mist the fabric and reapply after 30 minutes NOT drench it in the first application.
Shit I'm 3rd
useless test, no car has a rag roof .
