here ya go
just let me know (and everybody else here) if you can get the same results
I have not. I also own a gallon or two of a major chemical co brand's dwr that they try to sell to us by the drum. I considered repacking
and selling to my thousands of jacket customers. easy money , right? but I could not get the results of oem applied dwr, so i scratched the project. if you can get the results like the video below, please share with us all because everyone will benefit. please share the results step by step. Their video kinda does that but something must be missing because I cannot replicate. also, please report how long it lasts if you can get it to bead up like video
I’m attaching 2 pictures of my jacket. It’s grimy in other places, too, but it’s hard to see in the photos off my phone. Jacket was tagged in feb 2012. The jacket has been washed 3-4 times. Last time I washed it was two winters ago after it got super muddy during a late night downpour trench digging exercise. Most recently, I bought a frogg toggs jacket to serve that duty of working in the mud around the house while its raining.
I wash with a nikwax liquid soap. I use tx-direct spray-on dwr. My experience has been that it’s never the same as the original dwr treatment.
But what’s the solution? I originally washed the jacket because it was getting grimy and the face fabric was wetting out.

I have never been able to get a good result with the spray-on by it's self. I have gotten a good result with the wash in, then hitting high (backpack) wear areas with the spray after. I generally wash my stuff at least once a season, the current kit is at least 7 years old and while starting to show wear is holding up well.
