[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZrjXSsfxMQ"] Rustoleum NEVERWET [/ame]

Available in all Home Depots now

I was thinking of spraying it on my seats so ill never get a coffee or fountain drink stain. same thing with my carpets.

Maybe put it on my windshield for that rain-x effect. maybe on my wheels so my wheels never get dirty? spray it on rocker panels?


ideas please

Everything. Absolutely everything.

Bird crap will glide right off your roof right into the car behind you!

I swear I read that it didn't last long though.

I wouldnt spray it on anything. It's not transparent, nor resilient enough to hold up on a car :(

Read some guy sprayed it on his work boots and it turned blue. Works though

Oh man...the inside of my oil drain pan...turbo oil transfers!!!

If anything, it would be good for the undersides of your car. Wheel wells, backsides of your rims, suspension bits. Keep the gunk off so you don't have to worry about the elements.

Could it replace condoms?

LOL.

Everyone can be hydrophobic, you just need to contract rabies.

i dont know if it will work the same way. if its water-repellent and oil is already water repellent. so this repellent is the same as oil?

LOL:party0030:

Excellent choice of beer.

No, IIRC it works by giving the surface a nanotexture that doesn't allow liquids to "wet out", forcing them to have an extremly high contact angle which makes them slip right off. Should work the same for oils.

If you use a scanning microscope, you'll find that virtually everything has a "nanotexture". In marketing language it means "I use techno-babble to take your money, fool!".

Well, no shit sherlock. :bonk::bellyroll:

What I meant is that at the nano scale, it has a texture that causes super beading. Some plants have little teeny tiny "hairs" that do the same thing.

Guess i'll just copy and paste this again..

A few things to consider:

This stuff isn't permanent.

Also if i'm correct, if you want your car to be shinny with wax, it wouldn't work well from what I've read on other forums. It sort of counteracts shine. So if your lazy, I'd stick with Opti coat.


Also: Car wax has a contact angle of 95 degrees. NeverWet creates a contact angle of 165 degrees. If the contact angle were 180 degrees, any water touching it would form a perfect sphere.

Its a $20 product from home depot, don't overblow it.

I read that it doesn't last long on things that experience a lot of friction. So items like clothing probably won't stay 'NeverWet' for too long. I'd look for the source of that statement but I'm pretty sure it was from some users' feedback, nothing official. And since it's a relatively new product I'm interested to see further tests/usages, etc.

I am thinking of all the practical joke implications.

you dont like to get it wet/lubricated :bellyroll: no lube = blown head gasket
