I've used the Nikwax Wax Cotton Proof with good results. All I do is spray it on from the bottle (looks like milk), then use a toothbrush to spread it around and brush in where you want it. No problem with puddles or buildup of wax. The "neutral" may darken the fabric very slightly if it is really dried out to start with, but not much. I've only used this method on previously waxed bags, so don't know how hard it would be to totally saturate previously unwaxed material.

So far, I've only waxed the wheel-facing sides of my baggins panniers. This was a few months ago, but I wasn't satisfied with the result. Several months on it hasn't seemed to absorb properly (still waxy in parts) and it really darkened the fabric significantly. How do you wax your cotton in a manner that results in a similar outcome to the original thing. Also, what's the best product to use? I'd be waxing a few baggins bags, a nigel smythe, and *maybe* an acorn rando.
