Overview
The Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric is a cutting-edge fabric protection treatment designed to safeguard automotive textiles from water-based stains, mold, and mildew. Ideal for convertible roofs, interior upholstery, and any fabric surfaces in your Subaru, this product enhances durability and water repellency without altering the fabric’s texture or breathability. It’s perfect for Subaru owners looking to maintain the integrity and appearance of their vehicle’s fabric components, especially in climates prone to moisture and staining.
Engineered with Gtechniq’s proprietary nano-particle technology, I1 Smart Fabric coats each fiber individually, creating a breathable yet highly water-resistant barrier.

This treatment enhances the ownership experience by reducing cleaning frequency and extending fabric life, all while preserving the original look and feel of your vehicle’s interior and exterior fabric surfaces.

Ensure the fabric is completely dry with moisture content below 15% before applying. Apply evenly by spraying from approximately 15cm away in a well-ventilated area above 5°C and out of direct sunlight. Avoid overspray on surrounding surfaces and wipe immediately if necessary.
