i have a pair of altura attack shorts and havnt washed them yet.i usualy just clean them off with water but wonder what the best action is for washing them and re-proofing them??whats the best stuff to buy....
thanks craig
Grangers or Nickwax are the usual suspects. I've only use Nikwax, which seems ok
thanks z1ppy would i just spray them or wash in
I've used Grangers and Nikwax on kayaking gear, both spray on and wash in.
In my experience, it all pretty much only lasts another thoroughly good soaking. You just don't persistently get that beading you do when new.
I've just spray-Nikwaxed my biking waterproof but am not expecting it to be that great after a good douse in water and mud.
I moved to the wash in, as I didn't feel I good a decent covering with the 'spray on' version.
I can't say I had the same experience as Kayak's though, maybe Nikwax wash-in proofer is quite good then?
Saying this, I did find I had better result with a better quality waterproof and the wash-in, than the spray on and a not so range topping coat, so maybe not a fair comparision.
