Could you apply this wax after your article of clothing comes out of the washer? I have a pair Fjallraven Vida pros that need some TLC

Im sure you could as this is a spray treatment to be applied to damp. I would run it through the rinse cycle twice just to make sure the detergent is completely off of the fabric before application.

When you've applied it and as soon as it's dry is it good to go. As i don't have a day and a half for it to dry.

How big was the content (300 ml)? How many shoftshell jackets you can do with this amount of ml (1,2 or 3)?

Yes it a 300ml and I would say it’s good for about 2 jackets with a little left over.

@@unclebillscamping Wanted to provide a little insight here! Standard household detergents (powder or liquid!) leave behind hydrophilic residues that actually ATTRACT water and contribute to a piece of gear wetting out. That is why it is best to use a cleaner like Tech Wash first to clean, because it is fully water based and washes out, just leaving behind a clean piece of gear!!

@@alzmarshall3197 What are you on about? I think I have been misunderstood. Sergio has put a timestamp in which I thought disrespected the video creator, it's not a long video so what's wrong with just watching it all was the point of my comment, hence "do we need to skip forward". Just wow...even the video creator loved your comment that attacks me when I'm defending him and praising him by referring to him as a good man.

A lot of it varies on usage and how much you need to clean the garment. For me I only need to reapply it once in the cuff area as a precaution after cleaning that area late last year. Unfortunately for me the lining of the jacket started to fall apart before the dwr treatment wore off.

I gave you dislike because of two reasons. The first minute of the video is complete wast of time. Secondly you did not mention that the spray bottle nozzle has three positions. OFF-SPRAY-STREAM. I noticed this after I had STREAMED my jacket with almost 1/2 of the bottle and most of the liquid was in pools on top of my jacket. I wasted so much of that stuff, for no reason.

Wow, that is very unfortunate. I’m sorry you had an issue figuring out how to use the spray bottle. If there had been a stream option on the bottle I used I would have mentioned it but after double checking my bottle only has off and on and there is no option for stream only spray.
