WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ‘OFF-THE-SHELF’ INTERIOR PROTECTION PRODUCT AND YOUR HYDRO INTERIOR PROTECTION?

Most off-the-shelf products are in fact maintenance products, not a permanent treatment.  They are designed to be applied and then reapplied after repeated use and/or cleaning.  These products usually offer short term protection against food and drink spills.  HYDRO is a permanent sealer that bonds with the surface and requires no reapplication for the lifetime […]

I HAVE USED A NUMBER OF PRODUCTS IN MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES ON BOTH VINYL AND LEATHER – MOST LEAVE A STICKY RESIDUE AND CAN BE SLIPPERY AND SHINY – WHY IS THIS?

Many off-the-shelf products contain significant amounts of silicone, which can cause the surface to become slippery and contribute to what is referred to as ‘vinyl sweating’.  This causes the sticky residue and leaves the surface shiny.  When the surface becomes shiny, it can contribute to reflection and glare, particularly around the dash and console areas. […]

I HAVE HEARD THAT SOME VINYL AND LEATHER PROTECTION PRODUCTS CAN CAUSE FOGGING ON THE INTERIOR GLASS – WILL THIS HAPPEN WITH THE HYDRO PROTECTION?

Fogging on interior glass is a common problem if a silicone-based product has been applied to leather or vinyl.  This is caused by exposure to heat which causes the silicone to vaporise. This then causes a sticky, difficult to remove residue or ‘fog’ on the glass.  HYDRO interior coating does not contain silicone and will […]

DOES THE INTERIOR COATING HELP PREVENT MOULD, MILDEW & BACTERIA?

Yes, Protektiv HYDRO not only protects against permanent staining on all treated interior surfaces, the powerful formula also prevents mould & mildew (which can be a trigger for some respiratory illnesses such as asthma).  Bacteria can also contribute to odours; Protektiv HYDRO helps prevent bacteria on the treated surface.

With small children, I would like to protect the fabric on my seats. What is the difference between a take-home (off-the-shelf) product and your High Performance Fabric & Carpet Protection?

Take-home products could more accurately be described as a ‘maintenance program’. As most are only surface sprays and do not completely coat the fibres, they require constant checking for repellency and reapplication on a regular basis. Our High Performance Fabric & Carpet Protection is a once-off permanent solution to protection against staining from common food […]
