Just dropped a clanger on a 1991 Conway Challenger folding trailer tent, I used some upholstery cleaner to remove some dirty marks from the inside and guess what it leaks like a sieve 😡 it’s obviously been waterproofed in the past but I didn’t think lightly wiping the inside would remove it, can anyone recommend a waterproofing for the canvasRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

Grangers Fabsil (Big Tin, not the aerosol ) and a decent hand spray bottle.
Do the lot whilst your at and at least you know its covered.

You dont have too but I usually clean any algae or dirty marks with Fenwicks tent/awning cleaner.
Dont use tonnes of it as you’ll spend all day trying to get soap out of it. Use cold water to rinse it off, not hot.
I use a sponge or a soft brush for stubborn marks, no stiff brushes
Thanks mate I’m assuming it needs to be totaly dry before applying the sealRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

Hi,
looking in Boyes (shop ) today and spotted the Fenwicks stuff, the proofer was about £11
(did not mention Gold?)
it comes in a bottle with hand sprayer attached, forgot to look at the volume but looked about 500ml

After the fenwicks cleaner, it has to dry before re-proofing yes. Some others dont, you can apply the re-sealer when wet.
If you have not bought the proofer, Fenwicks makes one too. But I ve found Fabsil the best (not tried the Fabsil gold, but can only presume its better again because it says Gold!)
