I'm not sure this is true, has anyone bathed a cow long enough to test it? I reckon they will go all wrinkly like we do if soaked too long.
Ah sorry WTL (or Bob) - ignore that then! However, when I’ve used NikWax, I use it outside. Spray on, wipe off.
It's true alright. I've seen cows that have been outside in heavy rain all day and not a wrinkle in sight. But then cows have never sent their evolution into reverse by wearing additional clothes. I reckon if you ride your bike in the nude, after about 10,000 years you will become fully waterproof. Worth a try.
Actually, one, I think there was the choice but I wanted spray on if it was an option and, two, I think a tub would be better, because I'd know I hadn't missed any of it. I'd check to confirm that it comes in both types, but I'm trying to de-escalate the obsessive behaviour. Or perhaps it's compulsive? I'd better look that up. I won't rest until I know whether I'm obsessive or compulsive. Perhaps I should start a new thread.
When I bought my Daytona boots they came with their own 'Aqua Stop' which seemed to worked fine although how much of that was because of the Goretex lining is difficult to say. And whilst searching for it, I also came across the second link for a LiquiMoly product which provides a 'waterproofing effect'... ho hum. Daytona Aqua Stop Applicator Liqui Moly Leather Suit Care
