Fabric protection help

**Tex Star Detail** · 08-16-2011, 06:34 PM

Looking at picking up a job for adding fabric protection on 50 Lounge chairs, 11 ottomans, 9 sofas, and roughly 12 cushions about 48 inches wide.

I need some bulk fabric protector. Not cheapy crap. I was thinking of a few cases of Stoners Fabrotex, which is what I use now. That or 3M. Just buyuing in the can will be pricey. Have never needed to buy a large amount before.

So any suggestions??? I need to get a quote in asap, but the chemical price is holding me up.

Thanks

Have you looked into 303 Fabric Guard at all? It`s available in a gallon size for a pretty reasonable cost ($0.70 per ounce was the cheapest I could find -- look on Amazon). I`ve been using the product for years and it is good quality stuff.

+1 on the 303. It really works well.

303 it is. Will be buying a case of 4 gallons plus one if the bid goes through.

I use Guardsman around the house and in my cars.

It`s something AF may wish to investigate. It`s well respected and affordable.

Does the 303 have a bad odor? The cheaper stuff seems to always smell like alcohol.

Not at all, in fact I think it smells pretty good. A lot better than 3M Scotchguard, at least.

Does Scotch Guard really smell that bad?

It smells just like rubbing alcohol and it takes forever to air the car out enough to give it back to the customer.

Oh. What about using it on a personal car? 303 is just a little pricey for as little as I would use it.

Yeah you`d be fine. It works great but I don`t like using it on customers cars just because of the smell. If you don`t mind that, its great
