Reproofing awnings

Reproofing is usually done with a WAX which has a carrier of usually white spirit ( from the smell) . If you ask the manufacturer they should be able to advise .IF the awning is cotton need to be dry and hopefully you have not cleaned with a DETERGENT I have never been able to reproof anything that has even seen detergent. Some years ago I bought a very cheap GAZEBO in France  it was white cotton, I thought if it got wet it would be black spots within a week or too . It was great in France  it has that yellow thing in the sky . In the Uk no chance. So I decides to waterproof it ,I used WHITE WATERPROOF EMULSION.waterer down nearly 50%   I soaked the material so all was well wetted . Then removed it put it on the frame which was erected in the Garden . It lasted some 5 years ,when I reproofed it it was so well waterproofed we had a lot of rain ,which caused a puddle and the frame broke .It had been pitched  for nearly seven years all weathers . So I've done the same to my trailer tent using the right colour .

If  you  had  done  it  last  week,  mickysf,  by  now  you  could  have  given  it  the  very  best  of  tests

For cotton canvas most people use Fabsil. Either paint it on with a brush or spray with a garden sprayer. If its synthetic you can use Nicwax, I think Go Outdoors sell a similar liquid.  I believe the fabric needs to be dry and then well aired afterwards.
