Nick Wax Bad Product Bad Service Bad Company
Isn t it funny how you know within seconds of talking to someone they are not going to give you the time of day I called nick wax today because their product has not only ruined my 200 plus Aigle jacket but it s also did not do anything to waterproof it Spoke to Nicknwax and the gentlemn informed me it s because the jacket is delamination wow what a word Anyway he said send it in I mean what is the point he has already made up his mind I ll send it Aigle and see if they think the fact this awful product has taken off a rubber Aigle badge and the rubber hood sealers See if they think all this has happened due to Nick Wax Nick being the appropriate word Awful product awful back up service Avoid avoid avoid Unless of course you don t mind risking ruining your expensive jacketOh yes also my wife put in her Eastpak Bumbag and that has come out about as waterproof as a shammy leather or siv

Avoid Nikwax Tech Wash and TX Direct
I have persevered with Nikwax products but I have had it today I have used Tech Wash and TX Direct on a Berghaus waterproof jacket and it has come out with little whitish sticky bobbles all over On ukclimbing dot com someone described these as sticky snot balls and there are plenty of people posting on the web who have had the same problem I took out the detergent drawer to make sure it was clean I used in-date Nikwax products I followed the instructions on the bottles and on the garments to the letter This has happened before There has to be a flaw in one of these two products for so many people to have problems

DO NOT USE
DO NOT USE Used this product tech wash and tx direct on my Didriksons coat and its now got little sticky balls on it and is less waterproof than before i started On top of that my washing machine is filthy inside covered in the same sticky residue and has now wrecked the laundry load I put in after using nikwax I d even run a clean machine cycle in between I ve ordered specialist miele product to try to rescue my washing machine but my coat is never going to be the same and I ve no idea of my laundry load will wash through ok or to just throw it all out I followed the instructions to the letter cleaning the machine before hand etcDisgusted by this product it s one thing not to work but another to wreck a 1600 washing machine and 100s of of clothes AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Over rated
I ve never understood why nikwax get the exposure they do the products just don t work as designed or if they do only marginally on initial use The waterproofing products are initially water repellent but do not last Great marketing Poor product

Nikwax Down wash left white residue all
Nikwax Down wash left white residue all over my down jackets I had to hand scrub what I could off the jackets which was time consuming and wash them again to get most of it off I followed all the instructions on the bottle including putting my fairly new washing machine through a clean cycle at 90 degrees cleaning the detergent drawer and all rubber sealing within the washing machine before putting my garments in the machine I then took photos rang the shop I purchased it from Macpac and then emailed them to follow it up I didn t hear back from them so I drove back into the shop to ask them face to face what to do and they told me there was nothing they could do given the bottle was open I m pleased to hear other customers have had the same problem as I thought it was just me Never use this product buy a different brand

Hopeless
Hopeless hopeless hopeless I bought 2 5 litres of Nikwax Solar waterproofing for my tent Application was a nightmare The sprayer that came with the pack would not work It had no syphon suction whatever setting you attempted to put it on Just a piece of junk and simply not good enough considering the price paid The instructions only refer to spraying not a brush so I found an old spraying bottle and used that It was a messy job but eventually I managed to get it done with a lot of wipe off I shall come back to this review in a week to report on whether the waterproofing has worked But next time I shall try an alternative brush on product

I have used TECH WASH and TX DIRECT in my waterproof jacket and now all the jacket and the washing machine are all covered in sticky balls and with a sticky coating
I have used this two products TECH WASH and TX DIRECT as recommended on the label for clean and reproof my Patagonia waterproof jacket with the correct dose and at the right temperature but this time all went wrong I had already washed with the same product and bottle months ago in other jackets and they came out ok The expiration date on the TX DIRECT bottle is 08 25 and in the TECH WASH is the same date so the product has to be ok but when I opened the TX DIRECT I noticed they were like two coats like dry gummy paint on top and liquid on the bottom I shook it and it was ok but this time the jacket came out covered in sticky granules that don t even get out with soap of my hands the whole washing machine how it has a sticky layer and I can t even imagine how the pipes will be that s crap and how can it be that a product that is not expired and that I have used 2 other times with good results cleaning before but this time has been a total disaster I will never use this brand again

I ve used Paramo and Nikwax for a very long time and own several of the jackets smocks trousers Modern Nikwax doesn t work Old Nikwax proofing was fantastic and worked perfectly As a company they aren t interested in customer feedback It s a real pity as the original combination Nikwax Paramo was the best I ve ever used I d say that it s now shower proof at best
