If your thinking or worried about it, thing or worry no more.

This stuff is amazing - Gtechniq Smart Fabric

Here's a video of a roof I've treated

I used this stuff last year and was really impressed how well it repels water. The only down side is when its raining and you open the door to either enter or leave the car, the water just pours in like a waterfall and you end up getting slightly damp :lol:

It still gets a 10 from me though :thumbsup:
 
I have been washing my car this summer with Car Plan Shampoo
Bodywork/ wheels/ Roof everything and my roof beads just the same ?

Looks great as well !

Is the roof fabric supposed to be 100% waterproofed in this way?

I doubt it's a 100% proofing to be honest.

You'd be talking of something like UltraEveryDry to get that. That's an ultra hydroscopic treatment.

Eh ?
 
It mean I don't think anything Car Plan make is creating a hydroscopic seal on a fabric roof so I require a video of the roof repelling water like the Smart Fabric did, with a tin of custard in shot otherwise I don't believe it! [emoji12]

In short it's just a bit of banter Mon Badger.

same for me after the autoglym stuff, people used to look at me funny in the car park as id get swoosh all the water off above the door with my hand before getting in :D
 
Gtecniq i1 is great, I've been using it for the last couple of years and have no complaints about it's longevity either... :thumbsup:

There was a great video of a sheet of newspaper treated with i1 being held in a bucket of water and coming out unaffected with the water streaming off
 
I have a 500ml bottle sitting in the garage wating to use, but I want to Renovo colour my roof first.
Seems that I'm wating for a weekend that is 1 -Dry, 2-Not windy, 3- free of other commitments.....not any time soon then it seems!

I was actually suprised I hadn't seen it discussed on the forum here, defiinitely will get some pictures up when it's on

It does get mentioned from time to time, often in threads about roof cleaning e.g. http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49741

You don't have to wait for a wind free day to use i1, you can paint it on as well as spray it
