“Unbelievable job I have two kids under 5 and two dogs so needless to say, my car was a mess inside and out. Shawn came over and did an excellent job on both interior and exterior. He had to wash the exterior multiple times because there was so much build up and he did a great job. Would recommend him to anyone and bonus supporting a small, local business.”

Fabric Protection

The Tale of Two Spills

It’s 8:17 AM. You're rushing the kids to school, coffee in hand, and your youngest just dropped a half-full juice box onto the back seat.

In one car, the juice hits the fabric and immediately beads up. It’s like watching a raindrop roll off a waxed hood — effortless. With one swipe of a microfiber towel, it’s gone. No sticky residue. No discoloration. No panic. The fabric looks exactly like it did yesterday.

But in another car, that same spill hits untreated cloth. The juice soaks in within seconds. You blot it, but the fabric is already darkening. It smells faintly like apple juice for the next week. That faint odor? It’s not going anywhere. And the stain? It’s already part of the seat now.

This is the difference fabric protection makes — not in a lab, but in everyday life. Whether it's your kids, your coffee, or your dog after a muddy hike, protected fabric lets you worry less and clean faster.

What Is Fabric Protection?

At Tedrow’s Mobile Detailing, we use CQUARTZ Fabric 2.0, a next-generation fabric coating designed to protect your vehicle’s cloth seats, carpets, and floor mats from liquid, dirt, and grease.

This isn’t just a spray-and-pray product. It bonds directly with the fibers of the fabric, creating a hydrophobic barrier that resists staining and keeps your interior looking newer, longer. Liquids bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. It also defends against UV fading, wear and tear, and acid or alkaline damage — all without changing the texture or softness of the material.

CQUARTZ Fabric 2.0 provides up to 12 months of protection under normal use, and its super-hydrophobic surface means easier cleaning and better odor resistance.

Why Prep Is Everything

We don’t just spray and walk away. For the coating to bond properly, the fabric needs to be cleaned and completely dry.

That means Fabric Protection is only applied after a thorough interior shampoo, and in some cases, additional stain removal or odor elimination may be required first. If your seats or carpets have embedded stains or discoloration, those must be corrected before we apply the protectant.

We’ll always do a consultation before the service to evaluate the fabric condition. The better the prep, the better the protection.

Note: Pricing for Fabric Protection starts at $150 for sedans and does not include fabric prep or stain extraction. If additional cleaning is needed, we’ll provide a custom quote based on your vehicle’s condition.

Who This Is Perfect For

Fabric Protection is an excellent choice for vehicles that see everyday use or high passenger traffic. We especially recommend it for:

• Parents and carpoolers — juice spills, muddy cleats, food crumbs, and sticky fingers are no match.
• Pet owners — helps resist wet-dog smell and keeps fur from clinging to damp surfaces.
• Daily commuters — morning coffee mishaps won’t haunt your cloth seats.
• Weekend adventurers — tracks, trails, and gear won’t leave lasting messes.

If your car is your second home — transporting people, pets, equipment, and everything in between — this is one of the most practical upgrades you can make.

Best Add-On for These Packages

Fabric Protection pairs perfectly with several of our core detailing services:

• Interior Overhaul – deep clean, fabric prep, and protection all in one visit.
• Full Reset – complete transformation inside and out.
• Maintenance Detailing – available with prior consultation; ideal for newer vehicles already in good shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Fabric Protection last?

Up to 12 months, depending on usage, climate, and how often the surface is cleaned.

Does it change the feel of my seats or carpets?

No — CQUARTZ Fabric 2.0 bonds with the fibers but leaves the texture soft and natural.

Can it be applied to leather?

No — this product is specifically formulated for cloth upholstery, carpet, and fabric mats. For leather protection, see our Interior Overhaul or Full Reset packages.

Can it protect against odors?

While it’s not a deodorizer, it helps prevent moisture and spills from soaking into the fabric, making it harder for odors to take hold.

Can I add this to a Maintenance Detail?

Yes, but only after a fabric evaluation. If the material is clean and dry, we can apply it. Otherwise, we may recommend a deeper cleaning first.

What About Leather Seats?

If your vehicle has leather or synthetic leather seating, we’ve got you covered. While Fabric 2.0 is meant for cloth only, our Interior Overhaul and Full Reset packages include leather-safe cleaning and protection.

We condition and protect leather to resist cracking, fading, and staining — all without the greasy shine.
