3M Scotchguard

Anyone hear anything good about this for coating the suede?

No but I know their clear bra for the car is awesome and I've had it on my 350z and the 370z and will continue to have it on the rest of my cars. It has already saved my 370 from an accident on the highway involving something(not sure what but it took a nice tear into the clear bra but not the car!) hitting the car. If anyone in Houston or around Houston wants to know where to go to get the best job done just let me know !

LOL - wrong 3M product

I've been told the 3M product is good for the pseudo suede we have in the car but I've been using the Optimum Protectant from E-Shine
on all my interior including the vinyl, leather and suede. Its interesting to note that the protectants used in leather are the same as used in vinyl. I believe leather is also treated with a chemical similar or the same a vinyl to increase its durability - essentially a very thin layer of vinyl embedded in its surface for protection. I'm assuming since most modern interior materials use these chemicals the suede will be similar. I've used the product on it and it looks fantastic on all the materials in the car. Nice and clean with a luster but no glare like Armour all. Very happy with this product. Again thanks for the pointer NXTAZEE.

I've done a lot of reading and researching on this pseudo suede I've yet to find any real answers. I'd like to know if this is the Alcantra product which some pseudo suede is referred to as....

You may however want to use the 3M as a sealant but from the sounds of it most of these products are sealed when they are manufactured. I guess the only issues would be the stitching possibly?

Alcantara or Pseudo suede is just fuzzy plastic.. Quite unlike real leather!

Works very well I have used it in my honda. It has been tested on of my friends is not the neatest guy in the world, also likes skittles which have been melted into my carpet before come right out. Just make sure to shampoo the carpet and all before you start spraying it down.

Bringing back an oldie...has anyone with a 40th Anniversary put Scotchguard on their pseudo suede interior? If so, how did it work out? Do it on doors and seats? How did you keep it off the rest of the car? Thanks!

I was trying to find this stuff in stores, but cant seem to find it anymore.... really must be an oldie!

Just had mine installed today. They did a great job and I like the piece of mind of knowing there is at least some rock chip protection. The only colors you will really notice the edges on are yellow and white. Our Xterra is yellow that you can see the edges of the film on the fenders. Still worth it to me for the protection though.

I will update after I get a few miles on it.
