    I've done it with NikWax once, worked a treat (bloody brilliant stuff)
    FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
    CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
    Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    marvellous

    i will use google-fu an check it out

    i was worried as someone was telling you have to use a hair dryer to heat the wax then smooth it in etc

    sounded like a ball ache

    I recall reproofing a Barbour was very messy and time-consuming, involving a pan of near-boiling water, plenty of rags and a hair-drier. Mediocre result.
    Sent the other one off for repair & happily paid for factory reproofing. Looked almost new.

    Do this in the kitchen - will get wax drips on floor.

    Only done it to a Belstaff motorbike jacket - Belstaff wax seems more greasy & messy than barbour.
    Barbour wax ?

    Does she have a Scooter ?
