Day 10:  Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric

 

 

Website blurb....

Nanotechnology For Convertible Hoods & Interior Fabrics.

Protect your interior from coffee, wine, cola, etc, by treating it with I1 Smart Fabric Coat.

Unlike regular coatings the nano particles of I1 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 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.

 

Features & Benefits:

• Wine, coffee, etc, rolls off the surface with zero staining
• I1 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!

A product I've wanted to try myself for some time! Jim at White Details posted a video of this product on some car mats and it looks excellent!

Totally agree mate - it was on my shopping list for the winter sales;

but not much came up on the Gtechniq front really. so glad of this sample!

 

Jim is a lovely bloke - I really like his setup over there. 

I met him on the Mini scene a few years back, he has an R55 Clubman - he still keeps in touch

I'm going to order some samples from Andy after seeing this thread haha!

The set up he has is outstanding and his work is second to none! Unfortunately I haven't met him but follow all his work.

Would love a set up like that one day!

Without a doubt - I've followed Jim from his more humble detailing beginnings..... he has created a lovely detailing space now!

 

I've been chatting with Andy this last week actually; I said I would be in touch in the new year for sure.

 

I'll tag you on the thread I have running over there.....

Cheers for the tag mate! I'll have a chat with Andy when I get a bit of time. See if he can do me a surprise pack of some sort!

Nice one. I think SWMBO told Andy she wants commission if the advent calendar idea gets nicked for 2016!!! 

 

She has been chatting away with him on the planning of the whole thing, and for some time.

He's been really good... especially some of the freebies he has thrown in as well 

 

Only issue - I see this week that a dispute with CSP dropped them off the supplier list.

But on the plus side - Nanolex have just been signed up to fill the space :yes:

Commission is a cracking idea! That's a win win situation that haha!

I can tell it's taken a bit of planning and secrecy as you can probably smell detailing products a mile off Mate! LOL!

Yeah I saw that but unsure as to what's happened, didn't feel it was right to ask either.. obviously something bad.

Nanolex I've never tried but again some great reviews. There's tonnes of stuff to get through and try but I'm In it for the long haul so I best get saving Haa

It will be interesting to see if the idea is used by anyone next Xmas! She has done very well. :sun:

She was talking about logging on to Briskoda to follow the thread as well... as I said you chaps were enjoying her hard work - hahaha!

 

She is great at planning surprises and keeping it under wraps.... she managed my 40th birthday trip to the F1 in Barcelona without me knowing anything.

All the flights, tickets, plus our international babysitters from Portugal and lots more besides..... she is a real star!

Looking to buy a decent quantity of this myself, going to strip and wash the covers of some new seats i have. plus address the other halfs interior- i assume 500ml should suffice?

Nice one Kyle.

 

I only have 100ml as a sample size... but seems like a sound investment for 500ml!

Like to know go the Smart Fabric works - I've got Carbon Collective's version to try.

Hey Mike - i'll update when I've used it for sure. Primarily I'm researching for a possible soft-top purchase in 2016.

But I may get chance to help a chap at work with a Porsche Boxster in the interim.... no date on that as yet.

 

I think my new Xmas trainers with suede-like finish will be treated first of all!!!

DAY 12:  50cal Retaliate RTU Wheel Cleaner

 

Website blurb...

 

 

Retaliate has enhanced surfactant technology to ‘wet out’ the detergent system more efficiently, thus allowing greater penetrating of the dirt and safe removal from the wheel. It is completely acid free and is safe for use on all alloy wheels. This is a professional product and is now supplied in a user friendly Ready To Use format.

 

We not only are supplying this in a highly economical 5lt pack, but we are also including a 1m extendible trigger for ease of use and application.

 

Simply spray the diluted product onto the wheel, allow a dwell time of circa 30 seconds to one minute, then agitate with your preferred choice of brush, power wash off and admire the showroom finish result. All of the components are fully biodegradable.

 

In Short:

 

- Highly active

- Optimal dilution.

- Non Acid

- Safe across all alloy wheel finishes

- Enhanced Surfactant technology for faster action.

- Provides a near showroom finish.

- Will not degrade tyre rubbers.

 

This is so awesome Ste. Looking forward to your thoughts on these. Enjoy brother!

DAY 13:  Stoner's Invisible glass wipes

 

Blurb....

 

Convenient, Portable, and Disposable:

Now get the superior cleaning power and clarity of Invisible Glass in a convenient ready-to-use wipe.

Just clean and toss!

 

Great for Cleaning Windshields during Travel Breaks:

Invisible Glass removes smoke haze, plasticizer film, bug splats, bird droppings, salt spray, and road grime from automotive windows, mirrors, and windshields.

Safe for aftermarket tinted windows.

 

No Streaky Soaps, Dyes, or Added Fragrances:

Many glass wipes contain soaps, dyes, or added fragrances, which can leave a streaky residue that is hard to remove.

Invisible Glass wipes contain no soaps, dyes, or added fragrances so they leave glass clean and clear.
