Neverwet

[chaser]

This stuff, if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, looks like it could totally revolutionize they way we live. It's superhydrophobic, meaning it repels water VERY well. It can be sprayed on clothing, shoes, and just about anything you don't want to get wet, and water and oils and anything else wet will run off without getting it wet. I want some... SOON!

Hippies have been using this stuff for years

I saw this in a Biomimicry lecture a while ago. Interesting thought to coat the hull of a boat. Or a car windscreen, bye bye mechanical wipers. Your future car cleaning regime might consist of a once-over with an anti-static duster

Underwear? Heck maybe even the skin of the nether regions and no more wiping

I will spray this on all of my brother's towels and his shamwows, rendering them totally ineffective.

So when the car catches on fire the driver goes up in flames?

 i already don't need wipers on the dakota for the most part. rainx. if i can get over 40mph, the water beads off on its own. if i could get this stuff, i'd put it on there in a heartbeat

Think about if you sprayed a whole vehicle with it, for example my jeep. I could go mudding in it and drive out of the mud hole completely clean!

The first thing I'm gonna put it on is my work boots. On the inside to.

I am seriously thinking it could be an anti-STD product.....dunno why, but that was the first use that came into my mind.

Racing Suits....  Like swimming competition.

Would never happen. They banned full body suits in for the London Olympics, and I am sure the banned stayed for other international competitions.
