Instructions:
- Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Test on an unseen area before use.
- Spray a small amount of product on the applicator included and apply on to the surface evenly in a circular motion. Ensure you coat the whole seat especially high traffic areas. Allow to dry naturally for 15-20 mins. Then use a microfibre cloth to gently buff to an even, matt finish.
- If needed, repeat the application to ensure adequate and even coverage. Two thin coatings are, generally better than one thick coat.
- In case of streaking after drying, re-wet the applicator slightly with the coating and apply a thin layer to the affected area and buff immediately.
- Leather imitations (e.g. Vegan leather): the coating may first appear uneven before drying, but the light buffing after the drying time will spread and even out the coating.

Q: Can it be removed?
A: Yes, if needed (e.g. if a surface repair is needed) clean thoroughly using Geist. Rapid Cleaner PRO & brush (twice) to remove the coating.

A: Yes, microscopic pictures show that even small pores remain open. The flexible micropolymer lets air and moisture penetrate the surface.

Q: Will it cause white seats to go yellowish?
A: No, Geist. Repel is stable even under strong sunlight conditions as it contains an effective UV filter.
