The fiber remains breathable and feels close to its original state – without a greasy film. Optimal after cleaning with VinylTexClean (textile mode) and complete drying. Ideal for sprayhoods, biminis, boat covers, berth covers, seat cushions, and carpet runners in the cockpit and cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrophobic Protective Film: \u003c\/strong\u003eLiquids bead off, dirt penetrates more slowly – more time to dab away, less edge formation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInvisible \u0026amp; Breathable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feel and air permeability are maintained; no \"plastic feel,\" no shiny spots with thin application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePractical \u0026amp; Robust:\u003c\/strong\u003e Facilitates subsequent care, shortens cleaning times, and maintains a clean appearance in everyday use on board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTextile Sealing\u003c\/strong\u003e on Board – Hydrophobicity, Fiber Bonding \u0026amp; Material Understanding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTextile sealants\u003c\/strong\u003e like CoverGuard anchor themselves in a fine film on the fiber structure: Hydrophobic groups orient themselves outwards, creating beading instead of absorption and thereby reducing the rapid penetration of water and dirt. Because the film remains ultra-thin, breathability changes hardly at all – the fabric still feels \"textile,\" not coated. Especially on acrylic\/polyester canvas of sprayhoods and biminis, this effect prevents rapid \"soaking\" from spray or rain and facilitates subsequent, low-edge drying. On interior textiles, CoverGuard reduces everyday marks like beverage or wet clothing stains, without hardening the feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication on Sprayhood, Bimini \u0026amp; Upholstery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e is successful when the surface is dry, clean, and cool. After cleaning (VinylTexClean in textile mode), allow textiles to dry completely. Mist CoverGuard evenly in a crosshatch pattern in the shade, gently raise the fibers with a soft brush, and thinly re-wet until homogeneous saturation is visible – do not drench. Pay special attention to edges, seams, and high-stress zones. Immediately wipe off overspray on gelcoat\/glass; plastic windows are reserved for SeaYou. Maximum hydrophobicity is achieved after 12–24 hours of drying; do not stress or wet before this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability, Aftercare \u0026amp; Care Plan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability\u003c\/strong\u003e depends on sun, salt, and washing frequency. Exposed exterior surfaces (sprayhood\/bimini) naturally require earlier refreshing than cabin textiles. Check the beading level: If no more drops form, clean again, let dry, and thinly reapply CoverGuard. Sensible rhythm: Exterior surfaces every few weeks to quarterly depending on seasonal conditions, interior fabrics less frequently. Regular rinsing\/washing removes salt, prevents buildup, and maintains a uniform appearance. CoverGuard complements – but does not replace – proper drying and ventilation on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „CoverGuard“ — Textile Sealant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat materials is CoverGuard suitable for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic\/polyester canvas (sprayhood, bimini, boat cover), nylon, blended fabrics, carpet runners, and upholstery 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 thin application, the feel remains close to its original state and the fiber breathable. Too much product can make the fabric feel stiffer – therefore, always work in thin layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the sealant need to dry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12–24 hours depending on temperature. During this time, do not stress or wet. Maximum hydrophobicity is shown afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it on windows or vinyl?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Treat plastic windows with SeaYou, and clean vinyl with VinylTexClean and maintain it with VinylGuard. This ensures the optics and haptics remain material-specific and correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow often should I refresh it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposed exterior fabrics every few weeks to quarterly depending on salt\/sun, interior fabrics less frequently. The beading test provides guidance: if beading decreases, reapply thinly.\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":41.18,"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.be\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-the-finisher-marine-coverguard-textilversiegelung","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
