Want to know whether Sprayhood & Tent Protector is suitable for your specific application? On this page, you’ll find clear answers per material and use case. This helps you avoid wrong purchases and ensures you choose the right Ultramar product.
Can I use Sprayhood & Tent Protector on synthetic boat covers?
Yes. Sprayhood & Tent Protector is suitable for synthetic boat covers and sprayhoods. These fabrics are usually made from polyester or acrylic and fall directly within the intended use of this product.
Always use Sprayhood & Tent Protector after the boat cover has been thoroughly cleaned and is completely dry. The product restores water repellency and helps slow down new contamination.
Is Sprayhood & Tent Protector suitable for polyester tent fabric?
Yes. Polyester tent fabric is a synthetic material and can be treated with Sprayhood & Tent Protector.
Over time, polyester tent fabric absorbs more water and becomes dirty more quickly. After cleaning, Sprayhood & Tent Protector helps protect the fabric again against moisture and contamination.
Can I use Sprayhood & Tent Protector on fabric convertible roofs?
Yes, provided the convertible roof is made from synthetic textile. Many fabric convertible roofs are made from synthetic materials and are suitable for Sprayhood & Tent Protector.
Always check the material of the convertible roof first. If it is synthetic, you can use the product as the protection step after cleaning.
Is Sprayhood & Tent Protector suitable for awnings and shade sails?
Yes. Awnings, sunshades and shade sails made from synthetic material can be treated with Sprayhood & Tent Protector.
These fabrics are often exposed to sun and weather for long periods. Protecting them after cleaning helps keep the material water-repellent and looking good for longer.
Can I use Sprayhood & Tent Protector on outdoor cushions and covers?
Yes, as long as the cushions or covers are made from synthetic outdoor fabric. This includes removable covers made from polyester or similar materials.
Use Sprayhood & Tent Protector only on textile surfaces, not on foam filling or plastic parts. Allow the covers to dry completely before using them again.
Is Sprayhood & Tent Protector suitable for roof tents and folding campers?
Yes, as long as the fabric of the roof tent or folding camper is made from synthetic material. Many modern roof tents and folding campers use polyester or polycotton.
With polycotton, it is important to check which material dominates. If the fabric is mainly synthetic, you can use Sprayhood & Tent Protector. If it contains mostly cotton, a different product is required.
Is Sprayhood & Tent Protector suitable for cotton or canvas?
No. Sprayhood & Tent Protector is not suitable for cotton or canvas.
Cotton and canvas are natural materials and absorb protection differently than synthetic fabrics. For these materials, use Canvas & Cotton Protector. Choosing the correct product prevents poor results and unnecessary product waste.
Always identify the material first
Before using any protector, always determine the material first:
- Synthetic fabric → Sprayhood & Tent Protector
- Cotton or canvas → Canvas & Cotton Protector
- Plastic windows → dedicated Ultramar products for plastic windows
Impregnation products are never suitable for plastic windows or transparent panels.
Important: follow the Ultramar three-step maintenance process
For a good and durable result, always follow the fixed Ultramar maintenance process:
- Cleaning
Clean the entire surface with Sprayhood & Tent Shampoo. - Stain Removal (if needed)
Treat deeply embedded stains or stubborn contamination locally with Power Cleaner. - Protection
Apply Sprayhood & Tent Protector to clean and dry synthetic fabric.
If you skip a step, the final result and the durability of the protection will be reduced.
Want to do everything properly?
If you want to carry out the complete maintenance process in one go, Ultramar offers maintenance bundles. These bundles contain the correct products for cleaning, optional stain removal and protection, and are often more cost-effective than buying products separately.
Use enough product and do not be too economical. Using too little can lead to uneven protection. Choosing a slightly larger package is often more practical, and having extra product is useful for touch-ups and future maintenance.

Do you have an application with synthetic outdoor fabric, such as a boat cover, tent, convertible roof or awning? Then Sprayhood & Tent Protector is suitable, provided the material is clean and dry. For cotton, canvas or plastic windows, always choose a different Ultramar product.
