Scotchgard Protector Multi-Purpose

Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

Best price: £6.49 Size: 400ml

This Multi-Purpose version of Scotchgard’s treatment is a better bet than the company’s Auto specific version. After evenly spraying on a thin coat, we left it to cure overnight. During testing, cola simply beaded off even after several applications, as did hot coffee. It took a bit more hard work to remove the grease stain, yet it put in a fine performance and it’s our recommended option if the price of our winner is over your budget.
