Review: Brand new coat in a fraction of the cost and effort.. - I've had my Barbour Northumbria for 8+ years and I've had it re-waxed a couple of times by Barbour in the early years. In the past 3-4 years I've done it myself with their own brand wax that you have to keep molten and apply. It's quite an effort, especially when you've been doing it for an hour or more and you're down to your pants because it's so hot in the kitchen with the oven on and using a hairdryer to get the wax into those harder to service areas like the seams etc.. Anyway, ordered this Nikwax stuff which Barbour now advertise and say it's ok to use. I've done two coats in around 40 mins (2 x 20 mins with an hour drying in between). My coat is like new. It's so easy to apply and the coverage is fantastic. As it's a literally spray it gets everywhere and into all those nooks and crannies. One bottle is more than enough to do two coats, I've got plenty left. I've saturated the coat on the second coverage and worked it in with a sponge. I've not had a chance to rain test it yet, but early signs are this is a fantastic product. There is a tiny whiff to it, but nothing that's off-putting. I tend to use white wine vinegar spray on the inside of the coat to freshen it up (as it'll sit unused for a few months) - this Nikwax adds to the service kit and will hopefully keep my coat going for many more years to come. Barbours aren't cheap initially, but mines been going strong for 8 years - if I have to rewax mid-winter, for £7-8 a bottle and 40 or so mins effort.. I'm really not going to complain. Review: Very easy to apply - Very easy to apply, although you do have to protect the surrounding area from over-spray, as with all spray products. You can see where you have applied, as the spray is like a watery milk before it dries so you can work evenly. I applied two coats to my mid-lenght jacket, and there was plenty left for next time. The wax wasn't particularly shiny once it dried, and so I was a bit dubious about its efficacy. However, it works; I have worn it out in the worst of rainstorms, and the water streams off as it is supposed to. My jacket needs to be waterproof, as I live in one of the wettest areas in England. I will definitely buy this product again, and I have recommended it to family members. ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Causes skin irritation. - NIKWAX WAX COTTON PROOF SPRAY 300ml is a convenient spray-on treatment for Wax Jackets, Coats, Bags and Accessories.

I think there will be better products on market for tents. **Q: Does this work on waxed canvas bags?** A: Hi Kit. No experience with re-waxing a bag, but it did an excellent job of a light waxed Reiss Jaguar coat. Quite a tight weave, so I guess it depends on the weave of the material of your bag. Google noises, for full range of applications. Good luck. **Q: Can this be used on drizabone oiled/waxed coats?** A: Yes, it's wax held in a suspension, it smells a bit (of the chemical that the wax is held in) so the coat will need an airing for 24hr afterwards. It can be used on fabrics safely, just follow the instructions:) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brand new coat in a fraction of the cost and effort.. *by W***T on 3 November 2023* I've had my Barbour Northumbria for 8+ years and I've had it re-waxed a couple of times by Barbour in the early years.

I know, shocking! However, we had no choice. The jacket had been put away damp last year, and as a result had got mildew and mould spores on it. It absolutely stank of damp, and nothing we did could get rid of the smell. We rang the Barbour head office to see if their £60.00 cleaning service would sort it, and they said it wouldn’t. Basically, the jacket was ruined. Then, when looking on the Barbour website we noticed that they endorse Nikwax for their jackets?? Apparently, only for re-proofing rather than after you’ve washed all the original wax out through sticking it in a washing machine! Anyway, we thought what have we got to lose, after all if the worse comes to the worse it will be a nice jacket that is no longer waterproof Lol. So, my wife put it on a 40 degrees wash in our washing machine, with non bio washing tablets. She took it out and let it drip dry in the sun (took a couple of days to completely dry). Once dry, it smelled lovely, and all the mould marks had gone, although it was now plain green and had lost its waxed look. Now enter Nikwax…….I laid the Jacket flat and absolutely drenched it in Nikwax, rubbing it into the seems with a sponge. It was then hung out to dry, which took a couple of days. I then did the same process again. When the jacket was fully dry after the 2nd coat we could see that the jacket had some of its wax look back. To finish off, we then applied the real ‘Wax Jacket’ wax which now means the Jacket smells like a Wax Barbour Jacket, Looks like a Wax Barbour Jacket and is waterproof like it should be too. Superb! The good news, is we didn’t have to buy a new Barbour jacket, which made me wonder if this is why Barbour say they can’t be washed??? ## Frequently Bought Together - Nikwax WAX COTTON PROOF SPRAY-ON Neutral Waterproofer, Ads Water Repellency and Reduces Weight Caused by Water Absorption, Keeping You Warmer and Drier - Grangers Wax Cotton Dressing | 180g | This easy-to-apply waterproofs all waxed clothing, Neutral - Nikwax TECH WASH and TX DIRECT Twin Pack, Technical Cleaner and Wash-In Waterproofer for Waterproof Clothing, Cleans, Waterproofs, Revitalises Breathability, 2 x 300ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48138701-nikwax-wax-cotton-proof-spray-on-neutral-waterproofer-ads-water](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48138701-nikwax-wax-cotton-proof-spray-on-neutral-waterproofer-ads-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
