Either one of the Nikwax products - http://www.nikwax.com/en-gb/productselector/waterproofing.php or Belstaff wax proofing compound.

Are you flying ?
If you are, you may well find the above products being seized by airport security. You certainly won't be allowed to take them on board a plane in your hand luggage.

5l of 'Fabsil' will set you back about £28 from many camping supplies shops. Not sure of the coverage but it's a UV and water protector for canvas tents.
Weight is ABOUT 3.5kg
Been about for years and probably the best there is for large surface areas. I use it on my trailer and frame tents.

Thankyou both - car+trailer and rtn via old Var, Fr., stamping ground.
FreeBear - that's a sensible alert.
Will now check out your suggestions and phone friends - if line holds:-)

OK, much phoning later>Spain and Grangers, order made for 2 x 5litre tins of Fabsil Gold Universal. Good people on phone.
Thanks again for your prompt replies.

P.S. - another thing that happens in this connectivity notspot is the wiping off of Thanks. Seeing it had happened again, just pasted them back. Hope they stick this time:-)
