Chemical Guys SPI22616 HydroThread Ceramic Fabric Protectant & Stain Repellent (Works on Fabric, Carpet & Upholstery), 16 oz.

I have a 15-year-old MX5 convertible. I keep it in showroom condition. Immaculate without a blemish. Because I live in the desert, I prefer cloth seats to leather because leather are hard to live with in the summer heat.My cloth seats were in great condition. No aging. But they didn't have that "new" look to them. I'd been looking for something to do about it and was thinking of getting seat covers. I was at the auto store one day and there on the shelf was "Thread" by Chemical Guys. I LOVE Chemical Guys. I use their VRP product on my convertible soft top can couldn't be happier with it. So I grabbed a bottle of Thread.Did the application. Actually did 3 coats. My seats look TERRIFIC. Just what I was looking for. Now when I open my car door, my seats look showroom new too.I've seen a video on YouTube that questioned the waterproofing qualities of "Thread." I never spill anything on my seats so I am not worried about whether the product exceeds expectations on waterproofing. I was looking for something that returned my black cloth seats to that "new" look and I found exactly what I wanted with "Thread."I really love Chemical Guys.

Works exactly as described! I tried it out on an old dirty outdoor cushion. Now it goes on the new truck seats.

Love the products.

I have a brand new car with part leather part fabric seats and I wanted to protect them. I texted it on the floor mats and got some nice water beading. It’s easy to spray on with no discoloration. We will see how the longevity on it is. I have a Ford Edge and it took the whole bottle to coat the seats with 2X application and the carpet…. You will only get one car out of it if you go 2 coats and put it on heavy.

My canned beverage exploded when I opened it. Anything that hit my seats puddled and was easily wiped up - thanks chemicalguys. I'm satisfied enough to spend time and review this thing positively.This product is an aide to lessen damage on fabric surfaces from liquid, not some miracle product that you can spray and automatically stops everything like a plastic sheet. The instructions downplay it a bit, but you really have to evenly work this product in to be successful. Car fabric is porous, so the goal is to spread this product on the fabric and pores to ensure puddling.Some tips that worked for me.....1) cover all non-targeted surfaces, cause it's gonna get everywhere2) spray liberally on your car fabric and use a horsehair brush to work the product in. Concentrate on seams and stitching. Spray enough to cover everything, but not overly saturated so your seat looks wet. Spray some on the brush too and rub the product around your seat. When you think you covered it, do one more pass and this should count as one coat. Be meticulous on your seats and take it a section at a time.3) let it dry completely, then complete another full pass*treat this like you are trying to cover not only the fabric, but to rub the product into the seams and pores, like painting some rough, unfinished wood. You need multiple passes to make sure you get it properly covered.As much as I emphasized to spray. I used 1/5 of the bottle on a compact SUV interior.15/10. Will buy again.

This stuff works exactly as it says it does. Follow the directions exactly as specified and you’ll have water proofed seats. Doesn’t leave a bad smell but does leave a nice clean feeling.

I guess time will tell with this as it is a protectant. It was easy to use. It came sealed with no leaks

I was skeptical. I should have listened to YouTube reviews. Unfortunately the product doesn’t work. I used a horse hair brush to gently distribute the product into the wave of the fabric seats in my wrangler. Tan seats. I used 3/4 of a bottle on the back seats and front passenger seat and let it dry overnight. On the front passenger seat I applied a second generous spritzing mainly to the seat not the backrest. Let it cure for 2 more days.After school my daughter dropped a small piece of string cheese. It was on the seat for less than a min. The spot will not lift off and penetrated the fabric. Totally bummed that I didn’t use scotch guard like I have in my last Jeep. Makes me question Chemical Guys products since I also purchased the interior protection/cleaner.
