Pete's not the best looking bloke around the waterfront, but he's got the gift of the gab.

Posted on May 07, 2017 by Geoff Van Der Meer

(Video) Listen to what he has to say about using Ray and Rain spray, to waterproof the canvas on his boat. 

Its that kind of eloquence that gets Pete by just fine.

'Unroil', I hear you say? 'What IS that?'

Loosely translated, it means 'Pete loves the Ray and Rain and thinks it's 'unreal'.

Now, I wouldn't actually say this to Pete's face, because he's quite a bit older than me, but Pete is wrong.

Ray and Rain is not unroil, it is actually REAL.

Not only is it real, but it holds an Australian Patent.

We couldn't do that if it wasn't real, and we wouldn't bother spending all the money required to get it patented if it didn't work.

We won't cross over to Pete again, because, well, he's taken a bit of a liking to the camera, but let me say this.

If Pete says Ray and Rain waterproofs, it waterproofs.

Pete should know what he's talking about. He's been swashbuckling around the high seas for decades. From the rainy tropical clime of Hammo (thats Hamilton Island if your not a local) to the sub-Antarctic blasts of Tassie (thats Tasmania if your not a local), and everywhere in between. 

He's explored all the inlets and bays and anchorages. Actually, between you and me, I think Pete fancies himself as a bit of a modern day pirate. 

If you believe only half of what he tells you, he's been swamped, run aground, nearly sunk. Not much of a sailor, Pete, but a lovely bloke... 

And he knows his sprays.

Pete likes Ray and Rain for waterproofing his boat canvas, and so will you.

How to Protect Suede shoes with Ray and Rain spray

Posted on September 13, 2016 by Geoff Van Der Meer

(Video) Suede is the underside of leather, and is therefore more delicate. It is more supple than leather, but gets dirtier faster, and stains more easily.

In fact water can stain suede. See how these suede shoes stand up to the elements after being treated with Ray and Rain fabric protection spray.

We now sell Klager top quality spray bottles.

Posted on June 05, 2015 by Geoff Van Der Meer

The Klager is a very high quality pressure spray bottle, manufactured in Germany.

- We like it because it provides you with three very useful benefits. 

- First, it will successfully provide uniform spray coverage. This is important, as our sprays work best when applied lightly. We don't want you to 'soak' your fabric.

- Second, it is fast. You can easily spray large areas, in a matter of minutes.

- This is achieved because the Klager is equiped with a pressure pump plunger. A few pumps, and you are ready to go.

- Third, this sprayer is made of high quality industrial materials, that are resistant to solvents. This means it will last you a long time. You can use it for all manner of sprays, solvents, cleaners, and it won't break down.

- Automatic safety pressure valve, VITON seals, 0.8mm adjustable nylon nozzle, heavy duty head and pump.

LIVE in New Zealand and Beer-proofing a '96' All Blacks Cap

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Geoff Van Der Meer

(Video) As in, we are now 'live' in New Zealand, and able to supply the NZ marketplace with our sprays, not as in, 'go and live in New Zealand' if you don't already. For the record, living in NZ is a good thing. It's a beautiful country. Actually, our 'going live' co-incides with the Kiwi dollar reaching parity with the Aussie dollar. History in the making. Who would have thunk it? 
Anyway, on to more important things. Beer-proofing a 1996 All Blacks cap. Check the video.

Now Available in Australia and New Zealand

Posted on March 17, 2015 by Geoff Van Der Meer

Our range of fabric protective sprays have been tested, proven  and available for a number of years in the USA, but are only now available for the first time in Australia and New Zealand.

Fabric Protection Sprays was founded in 2014, as a direct result of the Principals, Geoff and Alison Van Der Meer scouring the world for a product that would protect their new charcoal coloured lounge suite from fading, spillage and stains. The harsh Australian sun had turned their previous couch setting almost white, and the children and grandchildren, as can be expected, covered it in stains.

After following a number of false leads, their extensive research and due diligence lead them to identify the Solar Shield, Ray and Rain, and Solar Seal ranges of fabric protection sprays, as the only products that would do the job. In fact, the products did a lot more as well. They discovered that these sprays would give protection to all sorts of fabrics, both Indoor and Outdoor. The sprays were versatile, could be applied to all sorts of items, and they worked.

Securing the marketing and distribution rights for Australia and New Zealand, they formed Fabric Protection Sprays, deciding their name should precisely describe what they do. They set about the development of a Website and Online shop, that would ensure the means to provide relevant information, and efficiently and cost effectively deliver these ranges of protective sprays into those marketplaces.

Based in Sydney, Australia, where the sun can be unforgiving one minute, and the rain torrential the next, theye use these products because they are effective, and they are affordable. Their mission is to help others extend the life of their own fabrics as well.
