303 Fabric Guard Water Repellent for Outdoor Fabrics, 32 oz

This product is phenomenal. It works exactly as it claims. It repels water with no absorption. Water beads up runs off my outdoor sofa cushion like water off a ducks back. It's a little expensive, but it works and is worth the price.

I followed the instructions and performed 2 applications since the convertible top had not been protected in what seems at least a few years. The top was soaking up all water instead of repelling. After the applications, the top now repels all water. I would do this in a ventilated garage as the scent is pretty strong and chemically smelling. Application is easy, just spray on and wait. I feel it might be a little over the top putting plastic down and taping off windows, just use window cleaner and a spray wax to clean any excess off the windows and car.

I am using this to replace scotch guard to waterproof my fishing rain gear. The problem with scotch guard is that the propellant (if you will) is water and if there is any water repellency left in the garment the stuff won't soak in so the fabric ends up soaking up water in an extended rain. The 303 has a petrochemical propellant and so does soak into the fabric. So far the application is easy (due to the soaking in) and the durability is superior. 9/10/14 I recently spent an extended period in the rain fishing with a newer raincoat treated with 303. With the newer raincoats the fabric breathes but is supposedly waterproof. This is not entirely true. In an extended rain the fabric does not leak but is does saturate or soak into the fabric but does not leak through the fabric. If you are wearing cotton base clothing under the raincoat that clothing gets damp and there goes your insulating factor and your comfort. Obviously you would rather not have the rain soaking in (maybe OK in and umbrella but not so in a coat). That's why having the 303 soak into the fabric is such a big deal. So to the performance, the raingear did not leak and for the most part did not exhibit and signs of water soaking into the fabric. The exception was in areas of high wear or abrasion such as knee area of pants where you might lean an elbow for support. It may be that I didn't do a good job of spraying those areas or it may be that the wear or abrasion caused the treatment to wear off. The breathability (an equally big deal in the comfort category) of the fabric did not seam affected. In any case I had no garment leakage and I was very pleased with the performance and will be buying more in the future. June 15,2015. I did purchase the blue label variety and it does not work as well as the green label. I came back for a gallon this time and am refilling the spray bottle. This stuff is fantastic and I am now spraying raingear for my fishing friends. If you want waterproof rain gear this is the product to buy. My son sprayed some chair seats with this product but so far not spills so no feedback.

Brief summary: This stuff WORKS to keep outdoor sectional cushions dry. In a comparison of 303 Fabric Guard and Rust-Oleum 278146 NeverWet 11-Ounce Outdoor Fabric Spray, Clear , both are great but 303 is the winner on application, cost efficiency, drying time, look and feel. OVERALL WINNER: 303 EASE OF APPLICATION: 303 - Rustoleum feels less greasy when wet than 303. The 303 bottle leaked more my hands. - 303's compact spray setting wasted less product than the mist setting on either product. Compact spray still gave an even coating like the mist, and wasted less product. - Both products made cushions appear damp when treated, so it was easy to see where the product was applied. - 303 left less troublesome bubbles than Rustoleum. SCENT: Rustoleum - Both scents are very strong. Apply outdoors. - Rustoleum is pleasantly scented rather than unmasked chemical smell. COST EFFICIENCY: 303 - Both products covered less area than they promised. 303 was farther off from its promise than Rustoleum, but still came out cheaper per square foot of coverage. - Rustoleum promised 20-60 square feet of coverage fabric per 11oz at $15. Expected cost: $0.25 to $0.75/square foot. -303 promised 80-200 square feet of coverage per 32oz at $22. Expected cost: $0.11 to $0.27/square foot. - My cushions have a textured heavy fabric. I applied according to instructions, dampening but not saturating the fabric with the product. My 4-piece outdoor sectional with seat and back cushions had 67 square feet of cushion. - One 11oz, $15 bottle of Rustoleum gave 11 square feet of coverage. $1.36 per square foot. - Two 32oz, $22 bottles of 303 covered 56 square feet. $0.78 per square foot. DRYING TIME: 303 - 303 required 6-12 hours before use depending on temperature and sunlight. - Rustoleum required 24 hours before exposure to water. - I left both products to dry overnight outside, 70-75 degrees, on a dry night. - Within 3 hours, the 303 cushions started to look dry. After 5 hours, the Rustoleum cushions still looked wet. In the morning both looked totally dry. LOOK AND FEEL WHEN DRY: 303 - Neither product changed the color or appearance of the cushions, or caused a change in feel noteworthy enough to outweigh the waterproofing benefits. - Smell: 303’s was gone within 12 hours, and Rustoleum's was gone after 24 hours. - Feel: Both products make the upholstery feel slightly thicker and stiffer. - Texture: Rustoleum has a very slightly rubbery, almost tacky feel while the 303 cushions do not. - Cleaning: Because of the tackiness of the Rustoleum cushions, dirt and pollon stick slightly more, but are easily wiped off with a damp paper towel. WATERPROOFING: Rustoleum, but barely - Both treatments almost completely waterproofed the cushions. - Dew: Morning dew beads up on both 303 and Rustoleum cushions. It can be brushed off completely from the Rustoleum cushions, and can be brushed off with very few droplets soaking in on the 303 cushions. Both are totally dry within an hour of sunlight exposure. - Rain: At the end 2 hours of rain during the day, there was pooling and beading of water on both cushions. After shaking and brushing off the water from the cushions, both were left mildly damp, and were dry and ready to use within 2 hours. - Spills: a full cup of water spilled on either cushion pools, beads, and runs off the sides. After using a paper towel to soak up what remained and brushing off droplets, the cushions were totally dry with no soaking-in through either product. An accidental watermelon spill on a 303 cushion cleaned easily by blotting with a dry paper towel the wiping with a wet paper towel. No word yet on red wine or other spills, but I will update if/when they happen. - Too soon to tell how well it will last.

OK I was hesitant! I bought a beautiful new pair of tall three button Bailey UGGs in a beautiful new color called "dry leaf" it's a cross between dark brown and Chestnut A beautiful warm medium brown. I bought a can of Scotchgard suede protector along with the 32 ounce 303 fabric guard. I was a little leery about using the 303 fabric guard so I tried One tiny spot with the Scotchgard first since it specifically indicated it was for suede shoes and boots including and they specified "UGG boots". I was shocked! And so glad I tried it in a inconspicuous place! It immediately darkend the suede and I panicked and I waited until it dried it did not lighten up! Now I will repeat myself this was that with the 303 it was with the Scotchgard suede protector! Had I done the whole blue with the Scotchgard suede protector my boots would have ended up a dark brown color which I did not want I already have dark brown ! So I proceeded to try another inconspicuous spot with the 303. Within minutes it dried to the beautiful medium brown color that I had purchased in the UGG!! gorgeous! I proceeded to spray the entire bowl which was extremely easy with this 32 ounce spray bottle and proceeded to spray the entire other boot. I put them to dry approximately 36 inches away from where my forced hot air heat comes out so as not to be too close to the heat. Within about a half an hour my boots dried to the beautiful original color that they were when I purchased them. I could not have been more happy! So I proceeded to give them after 24 hours another light coat again easily spraying with this 32 ounce 303 and again letting it dry for another 24 hours and they are beautiful! The suede is still very soft and you can see the nap as you brush it Back-and-forth with your hand, it has not disrupted the beauty of the suede whatsoever! I could not be happier! So this is not just a great product for awnings and everything that they are telling me that they use it for it is a great product for UGG boots as well. I would not even hesitate to use it for one Minute on the very light tan boots which I do not have but might be my next purchase. I live in Buffalo, NY and we have a lot of wet snow we weather and rain and the highway department they're always spreading rock south onto the highway's p minute on the very light tan UGG boots which I do not have but might be my next purchase. I live in Buffalo, NY and we have a lot of wet snow we weather and rain on the highway department they're always spreading rock south onto the highway's so that they don't freeze. This is going to help greatly. I have used other products with success but this has been so far the ultimately greatest product I have ever used on my UGG boots. I plan to get the product that they suggest for leather to do all of my leather boots as well! I give it five stars without hesitation!

Works as printed on the bottle.

Love that you get both the cleaner & protectant in one box!!! Highly recommend this for your fabric soft top on your convertible.

I purchased fabric guard and cleaner kit. I masked the entire car off after prepping the top per directions. 1/3 of the way through the spray bottle of fabric guard started spurting out large droplets, a few sprays later the spray nozzle stopped working. I dabbed the large droplets and hope it will dry ok. It looks ok now in the sun. I then had to bother a neighbor for a ride to Home Depot to get a spray bottle, not wanting to unmask my vehicle. The cost of 40 dollars for this kit and they cannot provide a decent sprayer? What a pain in the ass this was.

Good product ,was not able to cover four kitchen velvet chairs , as the amount did not last to do the forth which I feel it was very pricy for only a small area covered , had I known that prior to using it would have order two or a lager size bottle

Super impressed. I’ve been trying to purchase Raggtopp because it was recommended for Haartz material without success; it is very expensive in the UK. I thought I’d give this ago given reviews. I think it is as good as Raggtopp but at a much more realistic price. I also prefer the application bottle. Having applied a single coating, without any real effort, the water has been beading up perfectly. I’ll be buying more for certain.

フッ素系スプレーに比べると効果の保ちがぜんぜん違うので、昔から衣類、靴、傘などの防水にはこれを使ってます。

Very bad product I made 2 heavy layers and not work, some area protect and a lot of areas nothing.

The bottle top broke off and spilt contents, no way to use and apply it. A shame they know this but still sending faulty product out
