<title>Your directions say to apply to fabric while &#x26;quot;still damp&#x26;quot;.</title>

<description>Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Your directions say to apply to fabric while &#x26;quot;still damp&#x26;quot;.  I plan to use this on a tent that was an expensive one, but that has not been used in 8 yrs.  Does it mean I should WASH the tent... hose the tent, wipe off the tent, or spray with a bottle of water first?  Please explain.</description>

<title>I have an Osprey Aether pack, would this work well for waterproofing</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/store/NIK0038/Nikwax-TX-Direct-Wash-In.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_90316#question_90316</link>
<description>Nikwax TX Direct Wash In&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I have an Osprey Aether pack, would this work well for waterproofing it? Or what combo of Nikwax products would work best for my pack? I know they reccomend Tech wash, UV proof &#x26;amp; Tent/Gear proof. It just seems like this would be a great product to add to the lineup for my pack. I am all about getting as much life out of my pack as possible. I guess what I&#x26;#39;m asking is, would adding this to the three products I&#x26;#39;m already using, be excessive?</description>

<description>McNett ReviveX Wash-In Water Repellent&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I have an old Marmont Mountain Works Gortex jacket (shell) and pants that are no longer waterproof.  (The fabric appears to be cotton, not nylon.)  I&#x26;#39;m trying to decide which McNett product would be more effective: Wash-in Water Repellent or Spray for Outerwear.  Which do you suggest?</description>

<title>Grease stains on Gore-tex Pro shell jacket. How to get them off?</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/store/NIK0033/Nikwax-Tech-Wash.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_78534#question_78534</link>
<description>Nikwax Tech Wash&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Grease stains on Gore-tex Pro shell jacket. How to get them off? I have Arcteryx Alpha LT that has some major grease stains that are not coming off with Granger&#x26;#39;s G-wash. When I got this jacket the previous owner tried to wash the grease stains with G-wash and they didn&#x26;#39;t come off. One local store that sells Arcteryx told me to try Shout Advanced Gel which I did on small area but that didn&#x26;#39;t help either.Is there anything I can do about this?I haven&#x26;#39;t tried Nikwax but would it even matter because jacket has been washed already without a luck?</description>

Hopefully it&#x26;#39;ll allow me to stay out in harsher weather longer, and also, a suggestion of which type of nikwax product to use?  Wash in or spray?  Thanks a lot.</description>
