ForceField® UV Sunblock Fabric Fade Protector Prevent UV Ray Damage - 22oz

This stuff is great! One application, and our red sun umbrella has kept its color through 2 Colorado summers! Very impressed. The previous umbrella faded to pink during the first summer.

Works as advertised

Shipping was quick and am grateful for that. We treated all of our outdoor flags that are currently displayed but since we just got it, it's too soon to tell how it is going to perform. The bottle did have a bad sprayer on it (when you depress the trigger to spray, it does spray but when you release the trigger it doesn't return so you have to manually pull the trigger back into spray position).

I bought this spray mainly for the golf net I have in my driveway that stays outside all summer long. I recently bought a replacement net that is held in place by an aluminum frame. The frame slides through a pocket sewn around the entire edge of the netting and it's made out of like a nylon fabric. The last one I had eventually faded real bad and shredded so I figured I would get some UV blocking spray to prevent this or at least delay it somewhat as the replacement nets are almost $300. The manufacturer of the net even recommends some sort of protection if you leave the net up all the time like I do. I soaked it pretty good with the spray when I set the net up in June and so far I have not noticed any fading at all - and the net is black, and the fabric seems to be as pliable as it was when I installed it. We have had a lot of sun over the summer too in Michigan, so I am pretty confident it would have faded somewhat and started to dry out by now and I see none of that. IMO it's money well spent and I will probably give it another spray soon. Much cheaper to purchase more spray versus a new net every couple of years. Seems to do the job and I a have no issue recommending this product based on the results I have experienced.

After reading the other reviews, I decided to go ahead and try this product. My thought was if it doesn't work, then I guess I'll just have to replace my outside throw pillows. The bottle sprayer DOES NOT WORK!!! Ok, there were some comments relating to this issue so I just figured I'd transfer it to a different spray bottle. That in itself was a freaking nightmare! I wasn't able to even get the bottle open to transfer it. After about 20 minutes of using a wrench and needle nose pliers, I was finally able to mutilate (that's what it took) to even get to a point in which the liquid could be transferred. I then transferred the solution to a sprayer that works (btw, a $.25 cent bottle). After reading and following the instructions, I have applied to my pillows. Time will tell as the AZ sun can be brutal on fabrics. My suggestion is that you are familiar with the color(s) of the fabric when it's wet versus dry to ensure, visually, you have covered the fabric completely. I'll give this a week or so to see if it works or not. I will update my review as to the product effectiveness at that point. As for the sprayer, seriously, it doesn't work, at least mine didn't.

I applied this to a memory quilt that had been hanging on a wall and had already started to show some fading from sun exposure. First, it did not make the cotton fabric stiff or add a chemical smell of any kind to it. Second, it did appear to revive some definition to the colors of the faded photographs (possibly wishful thinking on the part of my mother-in-law). Overall, she was very pleased with the end result. I was happy that it did not damage the quilt that I had made her 12 years ago and that I had not damaged it with this spray. I will use it again on cotton fabric.

The spray bottle is definitely not easy to use. The spray top was coming apart by the time I finished. I also found it cheaper at my local fabric store.

This might sound stupid but I use this for my caps, and darker clothing. I live in a hot climate area and just got tired of coming home to find sun stains all over my darker clothes, especially caps. So I decided to try this. Sprayed two brand new shorts and two brand new caps so far, was out in the sun for hours and no sun stains at all. This stuff works! And yes, the spray bottles suck, they leak from the trigger and don't complete a squeeze. You have to pull the trigger back out and squeeze again. But hey, the stuff inside works and it will save more black clothes lol...

It's very hard to review this item, but i sprayed it on my fabric sofa with no problems and I don't think the colour has faded over the sumner

Does not work
