The complete care system designed to protect against UV damage and revitalise water repellency of all weatherproof textiles. Easy to apply by hand, non flammable, PFC and aerosol free.
Nikwax says:
To most effectively benefit from the ultraviolet (UV) and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) protection of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® it is best applied to equipment from new after cleaning with Tent & Gear SolarWash®. During use the equipment fabric will pick up dirt and other contaminants which stop water from beading on the fabric surface. When this occurs the DWR can be revitalised by cleaning with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash®. Over time the DWR will wear off through use. Both the DWR and UV protection can be replenished by reapplication of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof®.
