When to use this product

To maintain the performance of waterproofed gear, refer to care label and clean with Nikwax Tech Wash to remove everyday dirt and contaminants.

Why use this product?

Waxed cotton is designed to keep rain and moisture at bay, but over time the wax coating can wear away through regular use, cleaning and exposure to the elements. When this happens, water can start to soak into the fabric rather than bead up and run off, leaving your garment feeling heavier, colder and less comfortable.

Nikwax Wax Cotton Proof is designed to restore the water-repellent finish of used waxed cotton garments. Simply apply it when your garment starts to absorb water rather than repel it. The treatment replenishes the fabric’s water-repellent finish, helping rain bead up and roll off the surface.

By restoring water repellency, Wax Cotton Proof helps your garment perform as it was designed to, keeping you warmer and drier while extending the useful life of your favourite waxed cotton gear.
