Tech Wash,10 fl. oz., Nikwax Tech Wash Technical Cleaner for Jackets and Outerwear, Restores Waterproofing in Rain, Ski, and Snow Gear, Safe for Gore-Tex and DWR

My husband and I both ride, and logging miles in SoCal adds lots of crud to our jackets. I bought this to wash our Rev'it Airwave2 and GT-R Air2 jackets in, a lot of white textile which had now become pretty dingy grey. Because I foresee lots of washings, I bought the liter bottle for economy. I hand washed each jacket separately in a plastic tub, so I figured to use less Nikwax. I also used a toothbrush (dipped directly into the bottle) to scrub the really soiled areas, giving it a good amount of work. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with the final appearance, the road grime and exhaust soil washed out excellently, and our jackets were returned to their original white condition. I decided to do my husband's work commute jacket, a darker Cortech model, but still with white patterns and very soiled. I employed the same effort, soaking the jacket, and using the toothbrush to scrub the white and red regions. I took the photo shortly after I began working on the jacket, it shows the jacket after it had soaked a few minutes, and I had just started using the toothbrush. The brightness really began to return to the white, and the red piping and slashes also brightened up after some scrubbing. The wash tub water was really ugly and dark with all the removed grime. I used a separate plastic tub for the rinsing, three good dunks and swishing to get out as much residue as possible, and then a final hose off and hanging it up outside to air dry. I/we are very pleased with the results, and can recommend the Nikwax for motorcycle clothing, as that was our use. We obtained excellent results, had no issues with any odors afterwards, and it rinsed out cleanly. We have worn the jackets since, with no issues. Well worth the cost and effort to protect the investment we have made in quality riding gear.

Trusted product. Been using it for years along with the wash-in proofer. Never had any issues. Always restores clothing back to full function.

Love this product for my winter gear. Use with caution, and follow directions on bottle.

I work in stormwater construction and frequently end up more a mud monster than a human. My Helly Hansons often look like they are mud brown instead of blue. Other soaps have either not cleaned the outfits or seemed to reduce the water proof capabilityies- needing recoating. I found this soap did a great job cleaning the gear and may have even improved it waterproof capabilities. I was just bit floored that one bottle is good for one load. Still, lot cheaper than new truly waterproof gear.

I use this to wash my tent in the laundry room sink, after I parked my tent under some sort of cherry or smoked cherry tree for 4 or 5 days and it got sticky on the outside. I used it according to directions, it cleaned my tent great. It was simple and straightforward

The YouTubers convinced me that this stuff was the product I needed to clean an ODB (Old Dirty Backpack) I got for a great deal on a used gear site. It worked great! I'll keep using it for any outdoor gear and apparel where maintaining water repelancy is a factor.

Excellent for washing outer wear to maintain water resistance.

Revitalized my all weather raincoat

Utilizzato su abbigliamento tecnico: windstopper /guscio della gore (completo guscio + pantalone) , giacca antivento e pioggia della Montura, e due diversi antivento/pioggia della Salewa. Risultati ottimi: ripristina sia la trasportabilità sia l’impermeabilizzazione

Great stuff
