Grangers Fabsil (http://www.grangers.co.uk/product.cfm?cat=17&productid=22)

I haven't bought any for a while - Millets or Cotswold would be the first places I would look but I imagine the caravan places probably sell it for awnings :-\

If you use Fabsil, be sure you treat it on a dry day, with no chance of rain for quite a while after, too, because raindrops will mark it, perhaps permanently, before it has dried fully.
No such caveats with Nikwax - it doesn't care. Sometimes it can even be applied to wet canvas, though I've only ever done that when I found rain coming through my awning and wanted it to stop!

Fabsil is good, as said by others, but make sure you don't get it on the grass or plants  ::) as i found it's also a good weedkiller  :'(

Nikwax is better - AND it doesn't harm the grass or the environment!
