How have people found the Gtechniq smart fabric I1 for the soft top roof of the Z?
I've used their other products before and have had excellent results but not sure what to put on the roof. Experience welcome!

Interesting, what size bottle is needed for a roof? I never trust coverage info on bottles (or paint tins) you always seem to run out

Not a lot - I have a 1 litre bottle and have 'proofed the roof twice so far - probably have around half left.

I've recently given this a go after having used the Autoglym roof kits previously.
Gave the roof a good clean with Auto Finesse Rag Top Cleaner first, left car indoors for a couple of days so the roof could dry thoroughly before applying I1.
Only time will tell when it comes to durability but so far much prefer this combo to the Autoglym kit.
Worth noting that there is an Anti Bacterial version of I1, slightly more expensive but i went for this as i thought it would help prevent any mould developing on the roof.
