    Nikwax stuff is usually ludicrously expensive, cleverly compounded by 'usage instructions' which suggest you use an order of magnitude more of the stuff than is probably needed. Surprised the instructions don't say "rinse, repeat" too for added measure, and amazed that such a fat margin business hasn't drawn more (any!) competition. Yet.

    I am not overly bothered by that - I do two washes a week of just my cycle stuff - but I will use less than they suggest (thanks for the tip)/

    Fair enough re cost. I'm in a soft water area, and with Nikwax Tech Wash at least, the recommended dosage had foam spewing comedy-like out of the powder drawer! :lol: Maybe the one you've bought is different.
