Cellbine Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Found this video and I thought I would share it with yall. I would really like to test this on the windshield and front side windows. It would be great for that water that flows down the driverside window when you clean your windshield with the wipers and fluid. It is a spray that rejects water. Pretty much waterproofs everything it touches. I am curious to see how it stands up to a car wash and how long it lasts. This could do great things for our cars. Now I just have to figure out how to get some to Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmer Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Looks interesting. Do you know if this stuff is available yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 In the YouTube video description it says that it's available at HomeDepot. Here is an article on it: June 16, 2013 "In the next day or two the spray will be on shelves of Home Depot at Red Rose Commons as part of a national roll-out to Home Depot stores." http://lancasteronline.com/article/local/861483_Magical-NeverWet-arrives-in-stores.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Super SPAM? Very interesting find, Cellbine! Apparently a silicone based technology from Ross Nanotechnology Corp., now marketed by Rustoleum. Rustoleum says it "dries to a flat light haze", so I don't think it is suitable for surfaces where the shine is desirable. Still, worth experimenting with.

Cellbine Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 That's a bit disappointing. In the video they sprayed an iPhone. It didn't look hazy. I wonder if they coated the screen or if it is naturally water tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 They may be CYA'ing to differentiate the product from true automotive sealants. Also, they said it is "durable", but I haven't found the length of time mentioned anywhere. For example, automotive sealants are claimed to last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

akirby Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 We had silicone based fabric protector back in the 80s that did the same thing. I sprayed a throw pillow and would demonstrate it by pouring coke on it. It would just run off and be perfectly dry. Also sounds like the same thing Rain-X does for glass.

Cellbine Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I've been meaning to look into Rain-X too. I can actually get that shipped over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) This looks fantastic! For the windows especially and my shoes. What if I coated the whole car? Edited June 27, 2013 by wannabang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
