nice video, ive rewaxed barbour jackets umpteen times since i was 12 years old (48now), ive tried different methods and the one ive found best, is to use a sponge to apply the wax, use a cotton cloth to remove excess, and that is the key, you put to much on and it takes forever to dry. use a hairdyer to sink in the wax, hang for 24 hours. As you say it is labour intensive, Ive done every jacket in the barbour shooting and riding range, from short riding jackets to the long Burghley half horse cover.
great videos
Hi Marc. Many thanks for your detailed description of re waxing, makes a very interesting and informative read and I’m sure other viewers will also appreciate this! Thanks for taking the time to write and share. 👍
Thank you for this video,this is what I looking for.I have same lovely jacket Merlin,🙂

Thanks for the video.
I'm dreading the day I have to re-wax my Merlin jacket, but your video has put me at ease.
adiohead glad it helped. It takes a few hours labour and is a messy job so glad mines done for another year! Good luck
@@ToniReviews I finally got round to doing it today and watched your vid again. Really helped! Thank you.
A great tutorial video and thanks for taking the time to make it and a BIG thumbs up.
Thank you Kim. So glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave me positive feedback . Really appreciated, thanks 😊
thanks for taking the time to film this....i also have a merlin jacket, and was a bit hessitant to rewax it due to it having a slightly rougher feel to it than say a belstaff, it is quite new tho and its just starting to get the shine, they call it patina nowadays dont they .anyway im off to buy a tin of wax now, thanks again
vaudiw1 no problem... good luck 🤞. Make sure you allow the jacket to fully dry before plying the new wax... something I didn’t do completely so had a few damp patches which made it harder to apply. But it’s fairly straight forward and should help continue to keep your jacket in tip top shape. Mines still going strong.
Toni, just came across your channel the other day and think it’s brilliant. Good honest robust reviews, bang on advice and cracking travel vids. Cheers!!
HI Andy. Many thanks. I just try to give as honest a review and advice I can as a fellow rider and consumer. glad you found it helpful. thanks for the support
great job thaaaaanks for sharing
Thank you Faisal. You have reminded me it’s probably about time I do this job again, so 😊, and thanks for the positive comments 😊
Great video 🇬🇧👍🏻
thanks. Hope it helps... it's currently still curing/ sweating. Ill leave it for a few days before giving it another wipe over with a dry cloth to remove any last excess. Thanks for the watch and the time to comment
@@ToniReviews thanks for the video 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Hope it helps. Thanks for the thumbs up and taking the time to comment
Great video, thx for sharing it. Question - did you wait for the jacket to dry after you cleaned it before applying the wax or did you apply it when it was still wet? Thx
Hi. Yes I allowed it to dry before adding the wax. Sorry this wasn’t too clear in the video. Hope this helps. 👍
Does it have to dry after you wash it? before putting on the wax?
Maxwell Portlock preferably yes allow the jacket to dry, before you apply the wax to the jacket.
This is all very well, but how about a video that combines motorcycling, surfing, drumming and baking a cake all at the same time. Only you Toni, can pull it off!
david wolfe ha ha ha.... David Wolfe if only you knew how close to the bone that comment is... you have me in hysterics with that 😂😂😂
Obviously I've seen your other videos Toni and sometimes I think you're spreading yourself too thin with all these other interests.
I had to laugh at the cake baking contest - you only had to win the damn thing, even if it meant trampling on all the little people. 😊😉@@ToniReviews
david wolfe what can I say competition brings out the worst in me
forgot to hairdryer or heat gun it to melt it right into the cloth.
Yes you could do this, however I prefer the wax to seep in naturally, but I will give a hairdryer a go next time and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for sharing

er is veel goed koper wax te vinden op het internet 400ml voor dezelfde prijs
Sorry Danny I would respond, but in my ignorance I only speak English
infact cold water does not do the job
Sometimes using a hotter water I’ve found melts the old wax into the jacket fibres, so I found the cold water first allows you to wipe off the outside residual dirt without melting the older wax into the fibres. I would be interested to see how hot / warm water compares, but as you can see from the video the cold water does remove a lot of the outer grime, even if it does sound a little weird or counter intuitive.
