My canvas guy put me onto it years ago, and even with my 15 year old canvas, no leaks again this year, especially since someone else taught me to brush it on and not just spray it on. I redo it every spring to start the season. It is expensive, but well worth it if you want to stay dry.

Sailrite also recommends the Aqua-Tite Water Repellent product for material that is 5 years or older - and they are usually a pretty good reference. They did a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE5c187cUPU
Detailed Description from Ebay:
This is the new "Green" formula from Aqua-Tite. This 1 quart bottle will cover a 20' or so cover once. They say it will cover between 125 and 175 square feet. This is to be used on Acrylic, cotton, nylon, polyester, polypropylene, and cotton/poly blends. Water drops will bead and roll off. It provides outstanding protection against aqueous based stains such as soda and juice. Resists dirt and oil-based stains such as animal dropping, motor oil, and lubricants. It has very good durability to outdoor weathering. Enhances the tone of treated fabric. This will come with a spray nozzle.
