Cleaning and reproofing maggiolina

Any recommendations for products to clean and then reproof the sides of a Maggiolina Extreme?
I have a new tin of fabsil I bought for my old camper and never used, will this be ok and not damage the fabric?
Insight from RTT old-hands would be appreciated. Thanks.

i think you'll find it's dralon woven in germany

i used to have a maggiolina, i'd use fabsil to help water run off, but you could email autohome and ask them. 110 Defender 300tdi & Penman trailer with ally exped top and roof tent

Bricksealer does the same job and is a lot cheaper than Fabsil!

Used to Fabsil mine and I had it for 10 years with no problems. Just make sure it’s really clean before applying it. Otherwise you are sealing the dirt and stains in.
