Having Patio Magicked my sprayhood & sail covers I probably need to reproof them - any recommendations for which products to use? Preferably without the word "marine" in the name!

Fabsil, although if the cover has a lot of life left in it consider having it reproofed professionally

Fabsil in a square tin. Brush it on with a paintbrush.

I second Fabsil, I've just redone mine. I rollered it on.
Despite also waterproofing my face, my hair and all my possessions in the process, it felt good given that I'd been quoted £400-600 for a restitch, wash and reproof of my sprayhood from a marine covers specialist.
After sticking it in the marina washing machine on a 30oC wash, a local company that make hoods for soft top cars restitched it for £40.
Followed by the aforementioned Fabsil-ing it would be churlish to suggest it looks like new, but it's perfectly good and far from the firtune that was suggested.

A Speedy Stitcher sewing awl is useful for spot restitching, I've even done whole windows with one. Time consuming but strangely therapeutic...
