Review: Much improved spray nozzle - great product - I have previously bought Nikwax Tent proofer and the spray bottle was very unreliable and kept getting clogged. However I'm so pleased as they have redesigned the spray nozzle and it works great now. Much improved and made application so easy. I read a great tip on another review to use a mop to reach the roof of the tent. Excellent product and delighted my old tent is like new again. Review: Nikwax solarproof tent and gear 2.5l works - This nikwax Tent & Gear solarproof waterproofing spray 2.5l worked a treat on my outdoor waterproof motorcycle cover, the cover had started to let water through and hadn't had water beading on top for a few weeks prior to this , I purchased nikwax tent&gear solarproof and applied it to the cover as it was by the spray gun provided and used a new & clean 2inch paintbrush to spread run off and the cover instantly started beading water on top the next day when it rained and so far has been good in heavy rain a month or more later . I also used this on an 12 year old weise psycho jacket and pants I had previously been soaked through in while riding in torrential rain and after a few days left drying the torrential rain was mostly kept out so it can even bring an old well used bike suit back to good weather proof gear . I mainly sprayed and brushed it on this suit so hopefully with another layer on weak areas which happened to be around the elbows on this suit jacket are recoated maybe it will once again be weather tight . I had previously tried other products on this suit too with no luck but this nikwax seems to have almost worked compared with the others so it is probably the best one I've tried so far and it does deserve 5 stars so far . No colour change on any products I've applied this too either it does leave a smell but it's not over powering or bad . Hopefully this review helps anyone looking to be watertight while riding camping or any out door activities . ## Features - ADVANCED TENT PROTECTION: Safeguard your outdoor gear with Nikwax TENT & GEAR SOLAR PROOF, a powerful waterproofing spray designed to shield tents and gear from the elements, rain, and UV rays. - LONG-LASTING WATERPROOFING: Ensure the longevity of your outdoor equipment with this effective waterproof spray for tents and gear.
