Nikwax Tech Wash 34 fl. oz Tech Wash Technical Cleaner for Jackets and Outerwear, Restores Waterproofing in Rain, Ski, and Snow Gear, Safe for Gore-Tex and DWR

My husband and I both ride, and logging miles in SoCal adds lots of crud to our jackets. I bought this to wash our Rev'it Airwave2 and GT-R Air2 jackets in, a lot of white textile which had now become pretty dingy grey. Because I foresee lots of washings, I bought the liter bottle for economy. I hand washed each jacket separately in a plastic tub, so I figured to use less Nikwax. I also used a toothbrush (dipped directly into the bottle) to scrub the really soiled areas, giving it a good amount of work. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with the final appearance, the road grime and exhaust soil washed out excellently, and our jackets were returned to their original white condition. I decided to do my husband's work commute jacket, a darker Cortech model, but still with white patterns and very soiled. I employed the same effort, soaking the jacket, and using the toothbrush to scrub the white and red regions. I took the photo shortly after I began working on the jacket, it shows the jacket after it had soaked a few minutes, and I had just started using the toothbrush. The brightness really began to return to the white, and the red piping and slashes also brightened up after some scrubbing. The wash tub water was really ugly and dark with all the removed grime. I used a separate plastic tub for the rinsing, three good dunks and swishing to get out as much residue as possible, and then a final hose off and hanging it up outside to air dry. I/we are very pleased with the results, and can recommend the Nikwax for motorcycle clothing, as that was our use. We obtained excellent results, had no issues with any odors afterwards, and it rinsed out cleanly. We have worn the jackets since, with no issues. Well worth the cost and effort to protect the investment we have made in quality riding gear.

Restored my north face goretex rain jacket! Easily removed smell and makeup and it is like new again! Followed instructions on bottle and it was quite easy.

This works great on our rain gear, both Gore-tex and Bass Pros Bone Dry plus. If your gear gets accidentally washed in regular detergent ( which plugs it, losing its waterproofing) this will clean the fabric and make it water proof again.

I ride a motorcycle thousands of miles a year while touring all over. To ride in comfort, I find it worthwhile to invest in Gore-Tex and other proprietary technologies for my riding gear. However, riding that much attracts a ton of road grime, rain, and all that other gunk on the road. I was having a hard time figuring out how to clean these expensive jackets and pants. Until I found this product. Nikwax tech wash has performed great on my BMW GS Dry suit and my Klim Latitude riding suit. While the Klim is all black so color isn’t that important for the cleaning product I choose, my GS Dry suit has patches of white that get dirty out there. This stuff cuts right through that grime and makes the white look presentable again. You can tell the Tech Wash is gentle on the fabric and I can’t detect any added perfume smells. There’s a slight “plastic” smell to the product, but that smell doesn’t transfer to the jackets or pants. I’m pleased with it and continue to purchase it. It helps keep my gear clean, doesn’t seem to hurt the waterproofness, and doesn’t add any unnecessary smells to my riding gear. My only gripe and why a star was docked is the price. I understand why it’s so expensive, it’s a specialty product meant for a small segment, but I don’t have to like that fact😊! If you’re looking for something to clean your expensive motorcycle gear, give this a shot, It’s worked great for me.

Exactly as described works really good on my white clothes came faster then expected.

Very gentle but cleans deeply. Used on a waterproof windbreaker in the sink and the amount of grim that cam eout was illuminating.

This laundry detergent was used on my Red Head bone dry hunting jacket and pants. With no scent it’s great for waterproof hunting gear that needs to be washed. I cleaned off the mud and blood with ease. It helps restore the waterproof nature of the outer material instead of removing it like normal detergent. High quality products that does exactly as intended.

Used this to wash my Gregory hiking backpack in my bathtub. Soaked for 10 minutes with warm water and this detergent. Spot cleaned with a brush and direct application. Worked great removing all but a few stains that were several years old. Pack had weeks for dirt and grime on it. and this removed 90+ % of it. Very happy with the Tech Wash.

Utilizzato su abbigliamento tecnico: windstopper /guscio della gore (completo guscio + pantalone) , giacca antivento e pioggia della Montura, e due diversi antivento/pioggia della Salewa. Risultati ottimi: ripristina sia la trasportabilità sia l’impermeabilizzazione

Jacket and trousers recovered like new. Great job and simple.

Great stuff
