Coffee spilled straight onto the passenger seat on the way to work - beaded up and wiped off cleanly with a cloth. The fabric looks completely untouched, no stiff or shiny patch where I sprayed it.

Fusso for fabric
Exterior-grade chemistry, now inside your cabin
The same Fusso fluoropolymer formula that powers Soft99's top exterior coatings is here applied to fabric upholstery, wrapping every individual fibre in a hydrophobic barrier that repels spills before they can soak in.
Why Cloth Barrier
Interior protection with exterior DNA
Four reasons professional detailers reach for this on fabric.
-
Fusso fluoropolymer formula
The same core chemistry behind Soft99's leading exterior coatings, reformulated to bond to individual fabric fibres.
-
Superhydrophobic repellency
Liquids bead and sheet off the fabric surface before they can penetrate the weave and set as stains.
-
Invisible, texture-free finish
No stiffness, no sheen, no altered breathability - the seat feels exactly as it did before treatment.
-
No buffing, no fuss
Spray on in even passes and allow to cure - no rubbing, wiping, or buffing steps needed.
How it stacks up
Cloth Barrier vs a standard fabric protector spray
Not all fabric sprays are built the same. Here is how Cloth Barrier compares against a typical off-the-shelf fabric protector spray.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Bonds at individual fibre level | Yes | No |
| Fluoropolymer-based formula | Yes | No |
| No buffing required after application | Yes | Yes |
| Safe on light and cream upholstery | Yes | Yes |
| Zero change to texture or breathability | Yes | No |
| Backed by dedicated detailing R&D | Yes | No |
No trace, no compromise
Protection you can't see, results you can't ignore
Cloth Barrier is completely invisible once cured - no stiffness, no sheen, no change in breathability. Your seats look and feel stock, but liquids bead straight off and everyday stains like coffee and juice stay on the surface instead of in it.

What our customers say
Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can I use Cloth Barrier on?
Cloth Barrier is formulated for fabric and cloth upholstery only. It works across all seat fabric colours, including light and cream interiors. Do not apply it to leather, vinyl, suede, or Alcantara - those surfaces need dedicated products.
How do I prepare the seats before applying?
The fabric must be freshly cleaned and completely dry before you apply Cloth Barrier. Any existing stains, dirt, or residue should be removed first - the product protects clean fabric, it does not clean or lift existing soiling.
How do I apply it?
Hold the can or bottle at an even distance and apply in thin, uniform passes across the fabric surface. No rubbing or buffing is required. Allow the product to dry and cure fully before the seats are used again.
How long does it need to cure before I can sit on the seats?
Allow the treated fabric to cure completely before use. The source does not specify an exact cure window in hours, so err on the side of caution - give it adequate time in a well-ventilated interior and avoid contact until the surface is fully dry to the touch and beyond.
Will it change how the seats look or feel?
No. The formula works at the individual fibre level and is designed to be completely invisible. It does not alter the texture, appearance, sheen, or breathability of the fabric. The seat should feel exactly as it did before treatment.
What stains does it protect against?
Cloth Barrier is specifically noted to resist coffee, juice, and mud. The hydrophobic barrier forces most water-based spills to bead and roll off before they can soak into the weave. Prompt blotting of spills will give the best results.
Can I use it on light-coloured or cream upholstery?
Yes, the product is explicitly compatible with all fabric and cloth upholstery colours, including light and cream interiors. The formula is invisible once cured, so there is no risk of darkening or discolouring pale fabric.
Can this be layered with other interior products or applied over a fabric freshener?
Apply Cloth Barrier to clean, dry fabric as the final step in your interior detail. Avoid applying it over wet or freshly conditioned fabric. If you use a fabric cleaner or odour neutraliser, allow those products to dry out completely before applying Cloth Barrier on top.
