Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric V3 — Ultra-Hydrophobic Fabric Protection for Automotive & Convertible Tops

Why Use Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric?

Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric V3 is a next-generation hydrophobic fabric protectant engineered to shield automotive interiors and convertible roofs from water, stains, mold, and mildew. Using advanced nanotechnology, I1 coats each individual fabric fiber—creating a breathable, invisible barrier that repels liquids without altering the material’s color, texture, or softness.

With upgraded anti-mold and anti-mildew technology, Smart Fabric V3 prevents microbial growth that can cause odors, discoloration, and long-term fabric deterioration. Whether you’re protecting seats, carpet, floor mats, headliners, fabric door panels, luggage, or soft-top convertible roofs, I1 Smart Fabric ensures maximum durability and long-lasting cleanliness.

I1 makes ordinary fabrics fully water-repellent, preventing soaking, swelling, rotting, and permanent staining. It is safe for all colors, all fabric types, and is ideal for both automotive and marine use.
