Avoid it. Teflon is one of the next great threats to wildlife - much like mercury, we're starting to find growing amounts of Teflon in wild-caught fish and other wildlife. It's a crazy substance with fantastic properties, but it does wear out and wash away, and it finds itself in our water.

Not to get all enviro on a car forum (don't worry - I love me some burning fuel), but this seems to be a net negative given the reapplication. Opticoating can be done for about the same cost and should last without recoating, or you can simply wax your car a couple times a year.
