Give the edges, seams and high-wear zones extra attention. Wipe any overspray off gelcoat or glass straight away; plastic windows stay SeaYou's job. Full hydrophobics land after 12–24 hours of drying; before then, don't stress it or let it get soaked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability, upkeep \u0026amp; a care schedule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability\u003c\/strong\u003e comes down to sun, salt and how often you wash. Exposed outdoor surfaces (sprayhood\/bimini) naturally want a top-up sooner than cabin fabrics. Check how it beads: once no droplets form, clean again, let it dry and lay a thin coat of CoverGuard back on. A sensible rhythm: outdoor surfaces every few weeks to once a quarter depending on the season, interior fabrics less often. A regular rinse or wash pulls salt out, stops build-up and keeps the look even. CoverGuard adds to – but doesn't replace – proper drying and airing on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „CoverGuard“ — textile sealant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich materials is CoverGuard suitable for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic\/polyester canvas (sprayhood, bimini, cover), nylon, blended weaves, carpet runners and seat fabrics. Not for leather, vinyl, non-skid decks or plastic windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes CoverGuard change the feel or breathability?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a thin coat the hand stays factory-fresh and the fibre stays breathable. Too much product can make the fabric feel stiffer – so always work in thin layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the sealant need to dry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on temperature, 12–24 hours. Don't stress it or soak it in that window. After that you get the full hydrophobics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I do the windows or vinyl at the same time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Plastic windows go to SeaYou, vinyl gets cleaned with VinylTexClean and cared for with VinylGuard. That keeps look and feel right for each material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow often should I refresh it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposed outdoor fabrics every few weeks to a quarter depending on salt and sun, interior fabrics less often. The bead test is your guide: when beading fades, lay on a thin refresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eLast updated: 01.11.2025 — Author: Daniel (Detailing1)\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie × THE FINISHER","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":56304325034319,"sku":"D1-KCX-77112-1L-01","price":38.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/77112-1L-01_1.png?v=1778249537"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.co.uk\/collections\/the-finisher-boot-versiegeln.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
