GTECHNIQ’s science-based specialty detailing products available for specific applications such as cleaning and protecting the exterior paint, wheels, glass, plastic trim, and interior surfaces.
Interiors and our fabric convertible soft tops can sometimes offer a challenge for owners to keep them clean and protected from the elements, as well as the dirt and grime from clothes and our hands which has the potential to be transferred to the “touchable” surfaces within the cockpit. GTECHNIQ’s Smart Fabric v3 was formulated to protect your interior fabrics, and your Convertible soft tops will remain waterproof and easy to clean.
GTECHNIQ’s Smart Fabric v3
GTECHNIQ’s unique scientific formula for Smart Fabric v3 is breathable and extremely durable, and the new anti-mold and anti-mildew fighters help prevent mold and mildew microbes from taking hold and degrading the fabric’s surface. Smart Fabric works at the nano level to coat each fabric fiber individually while the texture of the material is unaffected.
Smart Fabric v3 can be used on your soft convertible tops and interiors, especially if your Corvette is optioned with the microfiber suede that Chevrolet uses throughout the Corvette’s interior, including the seats, door panels, center consoles, and steering wheel. Smart Fabric makes ordinary fabrics waterproof and easy to clean.
One my favorite demonstrations of Smart Fabric v3 is this video that shows what happens if you were to spill a can of Coke on the suede seats of a Porsche GT3RS protected with GTECHNIQ:
Laboratory testing reveals that Smart Fabric v3 repels water to the highest standard set by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. The new v3 formulation is even more hydrophobic than its predecessor and lasts up to four times longer than its competitors. On average, that interior protection lasts 6-12 months depending how “used” the surface is. On convertible tops, the protection can last for up to two years.
GTECHNIQ’s Rob Earle says “The technology we’ve incorporated in version 3 offers customers a significantly improved fabric protector. Our development team spent over a year finalizing this product and doing very extensive competitor comparisons and were pleasantly surprised by the durability and functionality advantages Smart Fabric v3 offers.”
How to Apply Smart Fabric v3
For interior surfaces, GTECHNIQ recommends using their I2 TriClean to prepare the surface before treating with Smart Fabric v3. For the convertible top, prep it first with their W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner. Allow 48 hours for the prepped surfaces to dry. Spray Smart Fabric v3 evenly over the surface from a distance of about six inches ensuring thorough saturation. Allow to dry for 24 hours for full effectiveness. Make sure the Smart Fabric application is thorough as it will repel any additional attempts once it has dried.
Purchase Smart Fabric v3
Smart Fabric v3 is available in four sizes and the 250ml spray bottle starts at $24.95. You can also save 10% on your order when you sign up to GTECHNIQ’s mailing list for new product announcements and updates.
