NeverWet Arrives - Hands-On Product Demonstration - YouTube

Home Depot is carrying NeverWet for $20 a can. Spray the silicone-based coating on electronics, clothing, or almost any surface and it'll become almost completely impervious to moisture. Of course, we're skeptical until we try it out ourselves. But in the convincing demo you see liquid hit a surface and immediately scurry away without leaving any damage. Spill mustard on your white shoes? Don't worry about it. Drop your iPhone in the toilet? It will survive. We've all had accidents with our expensive gadgets, so a $20 waterproofing solution is hard to disagree with.

yeah - you would probably be wise to invest in that. Now if they only had a way to keep an iPhone from breaking when dropped. :D :leaving:

I hope it works. Just had to replace my wife's iPhone that my son used as a play toy in the toilet.

If I spray this stuff on my C5, can I drive it in the rain without fear of it melting? :bigears:

Spray it on an Optispark Module, then douse with coolant. See what happens.

It's $19.97 a kit, actually. So you get both cans.

Makes me wonder if it would make brake dust clean up on wheels easier... Would brake dust stick to it? If it did stick, would water just wash it away and you'd have clean, dry wheels in an instant? Hmmmmm...

Base coat applied to my shoes.

BTW, it says "low odor" and that is a flat out lie. It smells like spray paint.

3. Can NeverWet be used on electronics?
No, NeverWet should not be used on electronics.

7. Can NeverWet be applied to glass?
Yes, but the glass will no longer be transparent. NeverWet dries to a Flat Frosted Clear color, therefore, it should never be applied to windshields or automobile windows. NeverWet will work on any glass that you want to have superhydrophobic properties, but don’t need to see through.

That's on glass BTW, so you can see how it really frosts it.

If I bathe in it and develop superhydrophobic properties, should I wear a mask and cape? That sounds pretty awesome:waiting:

ehh I wouldn't use it on Convertible tops. The material gets treated at the factory with a chemical that should last the lifetime of the top. Using another product typically does more damage than good.
