Description
Nanotechnology For Convertible Hoods & Interior Fabrics.
Protect your interior from coffee, wine, cola, etc, by treating it with I1 Smart Fabric Coat V2.
Unlike regular coatings the nano particles of I1 V2 coat the individual fibres of fabric, leaving the ‘breathability’ and feel of the fabric unaffected. The former means that stale air can still escape but at the same time repelling any water or oil based liquids. Being solvent based ensures a much deeper penetration of the active ingredient giving an I1 V2 treated surface much better durability and overall performance. Typically an I1 treated surface will outlast conventional water repellent coatings by a factor of approximately x5 with durability on soft-tops for example, lasting as much as three years.
Even more hydrophobic than its predecessor, I1 Smart Fabric V2 leaves no remnants of a spillage and moisture simply falls off coated surfaces. Laboratory testing has shown that I1 V2 repels water to the highest standard set by the American Association of Textile Chemists.
Furthermore the fabric protection remains at its full performance level after being washed on a 40 degree cycle, and even after five washes still performs better than the original product.
Features & Benefits:
- Wine, coffee, etc, rolls off the surface with zero staining
- I1 V2 coats each fibre individually for maximum protection
- Texture of fabric remains unaffected allowing it to breathe
- Works well on convertible roofs with great durability
- Lasts up to 3 years!

Purchased this after reading good independent online reviews.
Concerned 4 year old BMW soft top might deteriorate if not looked after carefully, and it was beginning to grow green algae which didn’t look good. My car sits outside all year round so it’s faces all the elements.
After reading up on how to clean the roof properly, I eventually found the best and most effective way to clean the roof was with a kitchen nylon brush and a little water to agitate the algae and dirt, then rub it down gently with a cotton cloth. This was after a good vacuum to suck away as much dust and dirt as possible.
After allowing the roof to fully dry I then used the V2 as directed. I did end up using nearly all the 500ml bottle but the 640 convertIble roof is big.
Once dry there were some light patches on the roof from uneven spraying, but a gentle rub with a cotton cloth revealed the nice black top and it looks great.
Now when it rains the water does bead up on the roof showing it is working.
I think this should mean the life and look of the roof will be considerably extended, and I’ll be interested to see how long it keeps the algae at bay.
Thus so far, very pleased.

I used this on my 23 year old Lotus Elise roof.
I vacuumed then cleaned with the w5 citrus cleaner diluted 1 to 5 water. I left it to thoroughly dry as instructed in a garage for three days.
Luckily the Elise canvas roof detached completely so I could lay it flat on a tarpoline when applying the I1 v2 to the fabric.
I throughly soaked it and spread excess out with a gloved hand.
After a few hours I tested it with a cup of water and this stuff is amazing, the liquid hardly touched the surface beading off and running away instantly.
I will be interested to see how it lasts though the car is garaged most of the time.
