Ultra Ever Dry - Imagining the automotive potential here...

Have you guys seen this? It's pretty amazing... sorry if it's a repeat.

I'm thinking about all those products out there that claim "Once a year waxing" or "rust proof undercoating" and we all know the truth behind most of these kinds of products I think.

I imagine that with more development a product like this could seriously revolutionize the automotive world. Rust would really not be a problem regardless if you lived in the rust-belt or not. Who needs windshield wipers too? Certainly would be something dealers could offer as a add-on or could be applied at the assembly line.

Imagine finding car parts in junk yards on cars that are more or less perfectly preserved otherwise.

Well far as I can tell this stuff is not cheap to apply but I was pretty blown away. I'd imagine over time it will become more affordable.

I saw this on reddit. It comes off with regular soap, plus it is translucent so wouldn't exactly work well with nice paint jobs.

[OldAndyAndTheSea]

Wow.

I'm impressed.

Aside from the obvious "am I giving myself cancer?" thoughts, I REALLY want to invest in this.

[spdfrek]

Their tests are impresive enough that I would like to know more about it.

True and I'm definitely far from a scientific mind here but I imagine some kind of blend with a regular wax could be created so it's some kind of super cancer causing wax that gets into the ground water and kills thousands... wait... no I meant...

I would imagine being it's some kind of nano-science they could (in time), engineer it to blend with paints, waxes, whatever... pretty damn cool.

[Iroczgirl]

That is amazing!!

I want that on my car, stat!

[QUIRKiT]

That's pretty cool!

I would love to get my hands on some for my work boots, gloves, and tools.

No you're wrong, Nano ceramics and even a good coat or two of Collinite 845 will last over a year.

that's awesome!

Saw this yesterday via facebook, then I emailed the company to check availability and pricing but haven't heard back yet. I really just want it to play around with. Wonder it it's toxic. If not I'd totally coat myself in it and then dive in a pool just to see what it feels like.

$140 a Qt is what the price is This has been on the Jeep forums, guys are coating their seats etc for mudding.

That price is about what I expected. Pricey but definitely interesting and would be fun to run experiments with.

[rbloedow]

I would love to coat my house in that stuff :O

This needs to be financially viable.

This kind of idea popped into my head a couple years ago, the fact that water is polar so why can't there be a product that magnetically repels it. Then I remembered Rain-X and wax and realized that it's already been thought of. Didn't realize it could get so much more efficient.

Would love to have a car with a permanent coating of this as long as the color looks fine.

[curvedinfinity]

Very cool stuff. Can't wait to see more coatings like this making their way onto products from the factory.

$57/qt here ...

Not quite as repellent as the video above... but you should look into OptiCoat 2.0, it's a permanent sealant that you can apply yourself.

It's two parts though, a bottom coat and top coat. The top coat on that same site is $100. You had my hopes up!

[Dscot8r!2]

That glass with the green water square Sucks it's not available for use on high gloss painted finishes yet. I think I will buy some anyway. I can think of about 20 little things around my house this would be great for. Great find OP 1,000,000 internet points for you.

[compy222]

too bad it isn't clear and more durable. as a windshield coating this would be amazing.

[Prail11]

There is already something out there like this for windshields, it was offered to us when we got the TL for $500 or some such. Looked pretty neat as they throw things like muddy water and the like at it, just falls right off.

Rain-X??

[ABATurbo]

Rain-X??

For $500 I hope it is a little more permanent than rain-x...

[98a4]

There must be more to it, if it was this black and white the military would have picked it up years ago. I'm assuming the durability just isn't there.

[takenotes]

something that won't give you cancer

They said it was good for 10 years. Warrantied for that long anyway.

Does the driver just slide off of the seat?

I would imagine that applied to a vinyl seat it would become more slick...most of these guys are running fabric seats...also makes a nice application for the soft top as it prevents mud etc from staining and becoming incrusted in the heavy fabric...I have no idea of what the longevity is and don’t feel my cars warrant the expense but my next ride will get this whole exterior treatment if it is proven to hold up for at least a few years, or becomes reasonably cheap enough to be applied every year.
