This is easy to use and it's nice that it's a 2-in-1 product for waterproofing and UV resistance, but how is it for UV? It mentions its UV resistant properties but I don't know how the marketing translates into actual effectiveness. In truth, you're probably getting more UV resistance simply by being underneath the shade of whatever fabric you put this on, so it's very unclear what the worth of the UV properties of this spray is. Regardless, it excels in its main function of waterproofing so I'm happy with it.

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 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.

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.

Gtechniq is a well known name in the detailing industry as the manufacturer of higher end detailing products. They have recently started marketing items directed at the boating segment. This Fabric Coat is part of that line.I tested this on a new pair of canvas Crocs shoes I wanted to waterproof. Gtechniq understandably recommends thoroughly cleaning the fabric first. That wasn't necessary for my items as they were new. Beyond that, the directions are super simple...set the sprayer to mist and saturate the fabric.This product does have a strong chemical smell so I would suggest doing this outside or at least in a very well ventilated area. I sprayed my shoes outside and allowed them to dry overnight in my garage.The product dries without leaving any residue and water repellency is much better than any similar product I've used. The breathability of the canvas is unchanged and, as a bonus, my shoes now have UV protection.Although certainly not inexpensive, this is a superior product.

I finally got a chance to see how effective this Gtechniq Fabric Coat - Fabric Guard for Boat & Yacht Awnings can be. It was very easy to completely cover the entire surface area of the Bimini top. Allow to thoroughly dry and when it rains the rain drops bead very nicely and roll right off the top. I highly recommend this product for waterproofing the Bimini top of any boat.

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.
