For commuting purposes i got a bright yellow night vision windstopper jacket, i'm more than happy with the thing but cant get the usual line of dirt out of the back. Anybody know how.
While we are at it , id like to re-waterproof my winter cruiser tights which wash in liquid do you recomend.
thanx ,

for the tights, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label
if you want to apply a wash-in water repellent then nikwax or grangers are ok, but whle i use them on some climbing/hiking gear i'd avoid them on most cycling stuff. they can damage the fabric's ablity to take up sweat and transport it to the outside
don't use fabric conditioners, they can mess up high-tech fabrics, use a cleaner that is designed for the material, assos cleaner is good
nikwax TX for waterproofing
Fit some mudguards, then you wont have a line of dirt sprayed up your back.
Too late now, of course.
