Has anyone tried taping off the tires and portions of a car and tried spraying this onto the wheels? Would be amazing if this could be sprayed on twice a year and never have to worry about brake dust/dirt on the wheels again. Was thinking of trying this if they come out with a translucent formula (right now they have translucent white, not truly clear).

Product: Ever Dry | UltraTech International Inc.

It's a super-hydrophobic spray on product that shoots water (and almost anything else) off whatever you spray it on.
 
Oh.... just realised there's two other threads on the same topic!

Did this stuff just come out today or something? Perhaps someone should merge all three threads...

Wonder how it would look on a white car. Maybe it dulls down the finish on other colors? From the website it looks like it can be used on almost anything and has pretty decent longevity.

This is the future man. Tech like this is going to make traditional waxes and sealants obsolete. I love science!
 
I'm also curious to its pricing structure and if it's available to the general public.....
 
Sooo guessing no one has tried this then. And the reason this product is getting so much attention is that the video that shows it in action is making its rounds all over the internet. 4chan, reddit, 9gag, facebook and so on.

:iagree:
 
This stuff was introduced a couple years ago when it was in beta testing phase. I recall getting on their email list to keep updated on the release to the public. I never really heard anything back from them but the person I was in contact with back then said it should be adaptable for use on cars.

Could be a game changer. Jeez I've used that term at least five times the last couple of years!
 
I would be interested to read more. The majority of super technologies which we encounter are utterly unsuitable for automotive. Neverwet jumps out as example - detailers periodically bring it up as a 'game changer' but the reality is that it just won't work out.

I remain sceptical that any of these represents a true game changer, whether it is down to difficulty of processing, UV incompatability, lack of mechanical durability or whatever. I actually find it quite annoying that those behind the technologies leave the masses in such a state of confusion. For instance, I can convert a clearcoated surface to being superhydrophobic and superoleophobic, in the lab. It will look amazing on a video but it is simply impossible for an end user to do themselves. Potentially a large industrial customer could do it with enough investment, but it will never be suitable for sale on autogeek. Alas, most of these videos fail to make that truth apparent.
 
I have done research on this product, at this point it's not recommended for cars, windshields and etc, will it dull the paint....Yes......issues with glass leaving a film.....so, if I was to put this on my car, I would be extremly careful about it.....not a whole lot of research on how it would effect calipers, brake pads and etc.......
But what a cool product. Boats would be the perfect fit !!
 
It looks like it completely changes the color of all the stuff it's applied to. No thanks...
 
Guess it has some way to go before it's ready for cars...
