Super Artikel. Imprägniert sehr gut in der Waschmaschine

Used it on 2 Gortex Jacket. Very good results thank you.

Repeated buyer. No spill. Thank q.

WOW. This stuff returned my ancient Columbia rain jacket to near-new condition. I wasn't expecting THAT. It was faded and limp. When I pulled it out of the dryer, it looked like a magic trick occurred (lol). The black color was deepened and evened out. I tested the finish with water, and it beaded right off. Now, this isn't water-proof, but water repellent. Good enough. Impressed with this performance; I ordered the Down Wash Direct/Down Proof duo for my pricy Lands End coat. It got washed, by mistake, with regular detergent, compromising the rain repellent finish. Yeah, DON'T do that to your down products. This stuff fluffed up and restored the water-beading properties. I suggest drying down items with the old 'tennis ball trick'. Pop in 3-4 tennis balls in the dryer. It's a bit noisy, put makes a huge difference in the re-lofting of the down. One note: you really must use the prewash product (Tech Wash) before using the the waterproofing product. And, the washing machine must be clean of detergent BEFORE this 2 step process is applied. The failures that other users have posted may be due to NOT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. I would be wary of using public laundromat machines, as they may be encrusted with detergent products. I'll be using these Nikwax products in the future. THIS STUFF WORKS.

Combine this with the tech wash and you've got yourself a great duo! Works amazing for rewaterproofing your gear. Extra rinse cycle always helps too!
