Review: Works well - Easy,simple to use and worked effectively. We have a large tent and it took a while to do but worth it. I didn't take any pictures or videos at the time so cannot share them. I can say the tent didn't leak during a hefty bout of rain whilst in use.
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.
