Arrow FX2 Cloth protectant chemical?

Does anyone have any good ideas or suggestions for non leather interior protection? I have a 3 y/o and I want to make sure this interior stays perfect! I am looking for something that is odorless also. Thanks in advance.

"odorless" ? Read the label !! ScotchGuard is a silicone treatment for fabric . HOWEVER it also contains petroleum products .Don't use it in an enclosed space until it has aired out thoroughly.Apply only when the truck is outside with all doors and windows open using respirator. leave open for at least 24 hours before use.

I worked for 30 years in an automotive trim plant. We did everything to assemble seats from cutting and sewing the covers to complete assembly. ALL of our cloth material came to us already treated with a Scotchguard or similar product. So while treating your truck seats with some additional product will obviously not hurt it is not necessary. I have cloth in my new FX2 and my wife spilled a Coke on it and it wiped right up. Y

Ooops, sorry.

Yes. Odorless, within minutes post application, if that is what you are asking.

i don't think its a forever product i would think that after shampoo or steam cleaning, wear, age it would lose its effectiveness kinda like a wax job just my opinion like you said it wont hurt.

They appear to be a service that does the job for you that just happens to offer their spray for sale to a consumer. I think I'd use Scotchgard, it's 3M and has been around forever.
