Money is no object. I need the best fabric protector for real high end clients. I deal with a lot of fine, ultra expensive fabrics. I'm currently using Masterblend's Ultimate, but it has changed the color of the fabric a couple of times.
Masterblend Ultimate did not remove the color, it just made it a little darker. The interior decorator did not like that. I called Masterblend and they gave me a run around and never got back to me. I'm leaning towards Maxim Advanced for Upholstery with Dye-Loc or Cobb's Ultraseal.I would think Masterblend better than Maxim, but maybe not if that has happened. You talk with them to find out why it removed color? We use Maxim, but just starting to use it....

I guess no more Bridgepoint Fine Fabric Protector? Man I loved that stuff!!!!With the newer regulations for solvent based protectors, some solvent shave become very slow drying and can darken some fabrics. This is one of the reasons to also test in an inconspicuous area.
I suggest Maxim Advanced for Upholstery with Dye-Loc. This is water-based and performs very well for natural fibers as well as synthetic fiber upholstery.
Consider offering protector with warranty. This should allow you to get a higher fee from top end clients and give them more peace-of-mind. Then can have the warranty renewed each year (or maybe 18 months) by cleaning and refreshing the protector.

Scott, the WATER BASED Maxim Advanced for UWDL is safer and dries faster than solvent based protectors? If it is, that's awesome because I, and my clients, hate the solvent smell and I hate using respirators (scares clients as well....what the heck are you spraying in my house that you need a respirator?) Scott, will Maxim Advanced work on suede? I have a client with sued wall panels and she wants to get them protected. I turned the job down, but I can look like a hero if I can safely use MA.With the newer regulations for solvent based protectors, some solvent shave become very slow drying and can darken some fabrics.
