Just to point out, there are two very different products to do this job, with different advantages and disadvantages. Holts made Wet Start and also made Damp Start. Other firms use various names for the two products.
One is a varnish type product that needs a very clean surface to grip to. Often it cracks and peels, letting water in the cracks and never drying out. It might last a number of years, but once cracked and peeling it is difficult to do again.
The other product is an oily, waxy water dispersant. WD40 is the most common, but there are others. Duck oil works well. Spraying on top of dirt and water doesn't matter. Even putting it on cracks usually works fine. It can easily be washed off with petrol if you want to clean it off and start again. Disadvantage is that it might need re-doing from time to time.
Hope this helps.
