Bought a fairly decent Outwell tent this summer and want to try and make sure it lasts. I understand that proofing it and/or sealing the seams is worth doing?

Can anyone recommend a good product I should use? I saw a Nikwax one here:

Is there also something good for seams?

Seam grip but normally that should have been done, or at least taped.

Macpac tents used to come with seam sealant and you had to do all the zips yourself (this is going back 15 years or so).
