Rustoleum NeverWet on vinyl walls in wet bath??

Supposedly, this stuff can be sprayed on vinyl wallpaper, like the stuff inside my wet bath in my trailer. It sounds like it would cause the water to bead up and run off, which would be a good thing.

Has anyone tried it for that purpose? Thanks in advance for your comments.
  • Rain-X was a no-go for me on our glass shower walls. You cannot use Rain-X on plastic so if that's what your shower is made of then this would also be a no-go.
  • Reading this thread and the car wax trick, it occurred to me. Has any one ever tried rain-x on the shower walls? I know it works great on my windshield and my shower walls are smooth plastic.

    Just a crazy thought.......
  • path1, thanks for that link. It looks like a no-go -- the stuff wears off. And gbopp, that is an interesting method, but I would worry about the effect of the mineral spirits on the glue holding the wallpaper.

    I guess I will stick with my trusty old squeegee to wipe off the walls.
  • Yeah, I used the rub-on car wax on my bathroom walls. It worked ok, but it was too much effort!
  • Sorry I haven't tried the product you suggested. But I did use spray-on car wax on the inside of my unlined shower area. It does make the water bead off. Not sure if it really does any good keeping the moisture out of the walls or not though. Just might be another 'sealant' idea.
  • The walls are already ugly, so a little blurring would be a good thing. ;)
  • Also, it is translucent, not transparent. If there is any pattern on the wal then it will be blurred by the never-wet.
  • I've never used the product but, from what I had read/heard, it works great. The only drawback is that it must be applied fairly often.
