We used NIKWAX this can be sprayed it also works to protect in the sun, and comes with the sparay, took us about 1hour to do a 7 man tent with porch. Spray on dry in 10 mins, sprays white so easy to see where you have done, GoOutdoors sell it.

when we were camping i always swore by GRANGERS " FABSIL" spray on waterproofer, i used it to 'proof our tent and was always pleased with the result.
now we've got a caravan ,i still use it to 'proof the roof and seams of our awning

Can it be sprayed?
Fabsil comes in ready made spray cans but the cheapest and best way to do it is buy a half gallon and put it in a spray bottle yourself eg left over kitchen cleaner bottle. When spraying wear a mask and wet the canvas with the spray.Do it before you go away cause the fumes are bad, it evaporates within an hour or so.Any left over can be used to waterproof jackets..did all my fishing jackets with it..

Why do you want to reproof it?
How old is it? How much has it been used?
Tbh there should never be a need to reproof a polyester(nylon) tent.
