Shopystore Nikwax Tech Wash

I tested it on a normal nylon bag. The bag was not water resistant at all from the start. The first time I washed the bag then applied TX Direct Spray, the fabric became slightly water resistant. I figured it could be improved. I washed it more deeply and rinsed it much better, then applied the TX Direct again. The second time the water beading is much better. It does work, just wash well and rinse thoroughly, then spray, wipe excess and you'll be good.

Use it for washing my Osprey backpack after my weekly hike. Singapore weather so hot and humid. After every hiking or walking trip my back and backpack will be sweaty. So this product is good. Just small capful and able to handwash my backpack and hiking shoe together as well if required. Definitely a good purchase. However, price a bit on the high side.

I've used this product for several years on all of my outdoor shells. From pants to jackets and it has performed well for the most part. This product does a fairly good job though it does not fully clean the garment if it is heavily soiled. You may need to rewash it a second time. Overall though, I am satisfied with the performance. If you have gear that stinks, you may want to consider adding a sport wash additive in there to kill the bacteria that causes the odor. This alone won't get rid of those odors. It doesn't leave a film or weird odors in my washing machine (front loader). Rinses clean and then I stick my gear into the dryer on low (check your labels to ensure your gear can go in the dryer) to reactivate the waterproof coating. If you have a lot of outdoor gear that gets a lot of use, regular washing and using the waterproofing treatment will help prolong the useful life of the product. I would definitely recommend this product for outdoor technical gear.

My husband and I both ride, and logging miles in SoCal adds lots of crud to our jackets. I bought this to wash our Rev'it Airwave2 and GT-R Air2 jackets in, a lot of white textile which had now become pretty dingy grey. Because I foresee lots of washings, I bought the liter bottle for economy. I hand washed each jacket separately in a plastic tub, so I figured to use less Nikwax. I also used a toothbrush (dipped directly into the bottle) to scrub the really soiled areas, giving it a good amount of work. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with the final appearance, the road grime and exhaust soil washed out excellently, and our jackets were returned to their original white condition. I decided to do my husband's work commute jacket, a darker Cortech model, but still with white patterns and very soiled. I employed the same effort, soaking the jacket, and using the toothbrush to scrub the white and red regions. I took the photo shortly after I began working on the jacket, it shows the jacket after it had soaked a few minutes, and I had just started using the toothbrush. The brightness really began to return to the white, and the red piping and slashes also brightened up after some scrubbing. The wash tub water was really ugly and dark with all the removed grime. I used a separate plastic tub for the rinsing, three good dunks and swishing to get out as much residue as possible, and then a final hose off and hanging it up outside to air dry. I/we are very pleased with the results, and can recommend the Nikwax for motorcycle clothing, as that was our use. We obtained excellent results, had no issues with any odors afterwards, and it rinsed out cleanly. We have worn the jackets since, with no issues. Well worth the cost and effort to protect the investment we have made in quality riding gear.
