Anyone heard of this product? Sure looks to be a winner for camping. I could imagine this on roofs, entire outside, upholstery, awnings, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZrjXSsfxMQ&feature=youtu.beIt's sold at Home Depothttp://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-18-oz-NeverWet-Multi-Purpose-Spray-Kit-274232/204216476?mid=sOEuo4hhg|dc_mtid_8903alh25183_pcrid_34878380377_pkw_rust-oleum%20neverwet_pmt_e#.UbCiP-cTxfA?&cm_mmc=SEM|G|STO|DSK|D24|Rustoleum

Did you read the instructions? It's not to be used anywhere that will be washed with soap and water, or scrubbed. As good as the demo is, I can't think of a single use for it.

did you read the reviews? There are plenty of suggestions there. Also, I would think surfaces are now self cleaning since stuff doesn't stick and simple water rinse could handle anything else. Why would you NEED soap and water???

....this is so funny, and apropos. I was just 3 weeks ago discussing the superhydrophobic surface of the ladybug (insect known as Coccinella, or as C-7) with Sleepy via e-mail, and suggesting if that surface/coating property could be replicated, the resultant technology would be highly desirable (practically and economically). Many technologies today are/have been developed observing nature: biomimetic material, or in this case, a surface.I turns out that most insect wings, bird feathers and many plant parts have this superhydrophobic characteristic (or, superhydrophobicity).....anyhow,this product appears to have the characteristic lower water wettability, where the surface *contact angle* could be approaching 150 deg.I could see this product as a vehicle electrical component protectant; as a wood component protectant (read: protecting the wood in RV components for some length of time), and maybe even a vinyl siding liquid shedding agent (I don't know how this would interact wth anti UV coatings?)...Silver-

....just reading the previous doubters comments: superhydrophobic surfaces and coatings ARE REAL. If you like, I could post a list of several hundred US patent links attesting to this technology (funded by extremely serious scientific research consortiums, including the US Government, foreign Governments and multi-billion dollar corporations).S-

I live in Southern California. What comes to mind is this might make a great anti-graffiti coating....

RPM International is the parent company. NYSE: RPM

Home Depot has it in their computer system but haven't received stock yet.

I'll try it on the inside of my CAMPER SHOWER CURTAIN for starters.

The Ultra Ever Dry looks great but, it is a bit expensive.

Great idea!!

First thing I thought when I saw it: rain gear and motorcycle seats.

Well, I'm game to be the guinea pig. I ordered up 2 sets. (They didn't have them in stock at my Home Depot.) I've got a few ideas to try it on; places I don't want stuff to stick to, like under the lawn mower deck for example. I'm sure it will wear off, but if I could go a mowing season without chiseling off the caked on grass, that would be nice. I'm also thinking perhaps the inside of my rain gutters that tend to accumulate debris.

So, what would YOU want to see this stuff tested on?

Come up with a suggestion and if I can, I'll try it and report back.
