TX.Direct Spray-On

works great on tent fabric and gortex. Easy application, though still get drips to wipe immediately or it shows.

This product is the REAL deal. I work outside in all sorts of rainy, wet weather. My raincoats and shoes had lost their rainproof abilities so I bought this. Washed coats thoroughly in washer, left damp as instructed, sprayed the diluted solution on really well and hung to dry. Scrubbed rain/hiking boots well with soapy solution and rinsed. Applied dilution soaking them well. Let air dry. All items are perfect!!!! So very happy. I did not know that the water repellent qualities deteriorate over time. Now they are like new and have kept me dry and happy. Can’t recommend this enough. Just remember if it wasn’t waterproofed to begin with, you won’t make it waterproof just by using this product (so you cannot waterproof a sweater, for example). I love this stuff. Economical too. Big bottle!

I would say that this product do its job, but you might need more than 1 and even 2 applies if you want to cover a whole jacket for example. I made sure to follow the instructions but still there are some spots that it did not cover. I made a second apply to those spot missing the product and still not waterproof. Consider getting a couple of spray bottles and apply a few times until every spot is waterproof.

Great vendor experience. The product arrived on time and exactly as described online. I’m pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to apply to my boots and hikers. It went on smoothly, cleaned up without leaving any visible residue, and the water now beads right off. My boots still look like new. Overall, this is a solid product—but make sure you choose the right one for your specific needs. Do a little research before purchasing. I may update this review after I’ve put these boots to extensive use.

The spray was very effective. It restored the waterproof nature of my hunting gear. Provided 100% water protection in one application. Leaves no residue or stickiness. Excellent value for the money.

Leaves you wet. I followed directions to a T. A little bit of what snow and I was drenched. It not only didn’t last, it never worked. It’s too expensive for a product that doesn’t work. Bottle size is fine and the look doesn’t matter, it’s a bottle of waterproofer.

I’ve had my favorite orange Marmot rain jacket for many years. Rain was beginning to soak into the fabric, especially on the shoulders. Otherwise the well-loved jacket was in pretty good shape. I washed it in the front loader Maytag washing machine with unscented HE Tide detergent. (I didn’t use the NixWax cleaning product…I did quite a bit of research that indicated unscented plain Tide “Clear” (hypoallergenic”) would work well and it’s our regular detergent. I actually let the jacket dry a few days to make sure the fabric was intact and not de-laminating after the washing but the fabric seemed fine. I wet the jacket down with a spray bottle of plain water and soaked it really well. Laid it on a tarp on the driveway. Sprayed the entire bottle of NixWax Spray on it, sort of sloshed it around in the residual amounts still on the tarp, hung it to dry in the shade for a few days. It’s really like new. The fabric is soft and pliable and feels “new”. I put it in the shower and wet it down to make sure it was water repellant and sure enough the water beads up nicely. I’m really pleased with the product and I think it will give me a couple of more years useful life.

Easy way to waterproof your items and jacket. I used it on shoes and hats and jackets and bags just to give a little extra waterproofing and seems to do really well! No residue or streaks.

Works well on wet weather motorcycle gear.

Easy to apply and works quite well. I'm a fan.

Removed one star for the inherent odour!

I can't help but wonder why some have had bad experiences with this product or any of the waterproofing products for that matter. There comes a time when your garments are beyond repair due to wear and tear or simply just neglect to care for the garment. Often times, we don't wash our outdoor gear as much as we should or keep up with the waterproofing. I've been guilty of that on a couple of items. When the fabric or coating gets to the point where it needs replacement, no amount of this product or any other similar product will perform miracles. Even on my most neglected gear, it still brings back some of the waterproofing properties. On my rain jacket that I've had for many years, I've only washed it a handful of times and reapplied the waterproofing when it was too late. It still wets out on some heavy wear areas but I wasn't expecting a miracle as upon closer exam, the fabric is worn and no amount of application would be able to bring it back to "like new". Flip to the gear that I do maintain on a regular basis. Waterproofing is like new and feels like is has been maintained. I have not had any wetting out issues with the gear that's been treated on a regular basis. The spray is a bit messier but combined with the Nikwax wash in, it does a really good job. I would recommend this bigger bottle if you maintain your gear. Always good to have this on hand. Wear some gloves when using this as it leaves a film on your hands. It does have a vinegar smell to it. It doesn't bother me, to some it does but then again, we all react to smells differently.

Does what it says on the bottle, used it on patio furniture covers, and works as it should so all good
