Finally! NeverWet coating available for real

[Zack The Ripper]

It's funny that it states it should not be used on surfaces meant to be kept transparent: I have a friend who has an old Nova (his pride and joy), so old that the thing doesn't have windshield wipers. So, to keep rain and dirty from collection on his windshield he sprays something very similar to this on his windshield (and most of the body) as protectant. Water, clean and dirty, basically runs away when it makes contact with a surface that he's coated. Again, it must not be Neverwet if he's spraying his windshield with it, but damn does the stuff work amazingly well.

Side note, most of the newer generation smart phones are coated with this stuff. I can't remember which phone exactly, the S3 or S4, but it can be put directly in water up to a depth of 10 feet. Tits!

Well, the base coat smells like nail polish, really strong "I'm going to kill you" nail polish.

Just slapped on the 2nd coat of the finish, pretty white looking. Could be the contrast of the black boots though.
One, maybe two more coats of the final finish and then I'll test it out in 24-30 hours.

Anyone try this one goggles yet? I'm curious as to how opaque it makes the glass. Is it viable for fogging?

In case you didn't read it in the second post

Instruction Sheet
IMPORTANT:
NeverWet dries to a Flat Frosted Clear.
Because of the Frosted Clear appearance,
it should not be applied to items meant to be transparent,
such as motor vehicle windshields, eye glasses, etc.
NeverWet’s Flat Frosted Clear appearance may cause an item’s color or sheen to change. Always test in an inconspicuous area before applying.

Acetone. It's model glue in an alkaline substrate.

You can probably reduce the 'milky white haze' and improve it's efficacy by making sure the item is obscenely and utterly dry and by using it in an environment completely lacking in ambient moisture, but unless you have access to a clean room or want to apply this stuff on a windless -40C day, It's probably going to be very underwhelming.

I've used neverwet before. on fabrics you have to coat it very well...I used it on my gazebos and it worked great. it does wear off though. so if you use it on a surface where you'll be touching a lot, it'll wear off quickly. it also gives the surface a rough texture and makes clothes stiff and scratchy.. I'd only use this on boots.
