Nikwax TECH WASH and TX DIRECT Twin Pack, Technical Cleaner and Wash-In Waterproofer for Waterproof Clothing, 2x 300ml

There’s a danger if you’re over the top in writing a review it looks like you’re ’faking it’. I’m not. As a person who has spent a lot of time outdoors in our lovely - or not so lovely - weather I have a number of aging rain jackets. I have in the past used sprays without much success - this double pack of a wash then a waterproof agent is simple to use and the results speak for themselves. Rain just runs off what would in the past have been absorbed. I’ll be using again hopefully not too soon.

We're currently traveling long term, so having a reliably dry tent is a big deal. We didn't have a tub but we applied this waterproofing in the bottom of a shower and it worked a treat. Glad to find it had no PFAS or anything dangerous. Great value for the money and did exactly what we needed it to do, keep us dry.

Great product

Love this product but if you’re going to use it a lot buy the much bigger packs.

If you have any waterproof or water repellent jacket, this cleaner and sealer are essential to keep them at their best. I generally wash my jackets just once a year or so, which is enough to keep them clean and sealed.A word of caution, the resealer has a very strong acetic acid smell (a bit like bathroom mastic before it cures), but don't worry, that smell doesn't transfer to your jacket. They just smell "normal" after they've fully dried.Rain beads off easily afterwards, so an easy 5 star from me.

They washed my ski stuff well!!

I would rather buy these in a larger size but struggled to find them. You don't get many washes from this 300ml size bottleThe Tech WashThe wash is quick and easy to use, but I found it didn't give very good cleaning results on the jackets. The cuffs and hoods had light marks and a little mud, but these didn't come out after washing which is disappointing. The instructions say to wash on a synthetic cycle, presumably to protect the clothes but the cleaning results were not good enough. Next time I would preswash with my normal detergent on a gentle cycle before using Nikwax.TX DirectThe wash-in waterproofer is easy to use, although a bit messy afterwards as you have to use a slow spin setting. Which means the jackets are very wet and dripping when they come out of the washing machine. They need to be hung somewhere to drip dry overnight at least. The waterproofer works well. It replenished the jackets waterproof ability, like it was new.If I could give these separate ratings, I would rate the wash-in at two stars, simply because it didn't actually wash very well. I would rate the waterproofer at four stars as although it works well, this size bottle is not good value for money. I don't feel they are good value compared to the larger size Nikwax bottles.

Works well have had this product before
