    Nanolex Textile Sealant vs Scotchguard

    Anyone have any experience with using these two textile sealant products and which one would be the better product to use?

    As far as I understand it, Scotchguard is a silicon-based product, is inferior to the Nanolex but much cheaper at around $10-15 a can.

    Nanolex is NOT silicon-based and appears to be a much more effective and durable product. Also it does not have the strong solvent-based smell of the Scotchguard.

    In terms of durability would the Nanolex be better than the scotchguard?

    Nanolex would definitely be the better option. It will cost a fair amount more to begin with, and as I haven't tested it I'm not sure how long it lasts but I can tell you it will do a much better job than the Scotchguard, enough to make it worth it.

    Cheers for that... will certainly buy a bottle of the Nanolex from the folks at carcareproducts once my car arrives and give it a shot.

    Be sure to ask them how best to use it also, because you'll get much better results when you use it perfectly

    Thread revival.

    Anyone been using the Nanolex textile treatment on cloth seats? I haven't had cloth for a while and thinking whether it is worth using this to add a little more protection from moisture etc?

    Will do, need the car first (sorted tomorrow). I've read elsewhere that it dries as if not there so I don't expect any issues.. although I'll obviously do a test patch first.
