I didn't see anywhere in the video where they talked about how long the product lasts, or how long it will protect an item before it degrades. That would be something I'd like to know.

It lasts for ~ 5 min according to all the reviews. They even make a neverwet toilet plunger that has 2 stars on Amazon w/28 reviews.

I don't know... Normally when I see someone with a "this crap doesn't work" type of video they haven't followed the instructions properly. I'll reserve judgement until I see it for myself.

But if it does actually last a decent amount of time I would certainly cover my hiking boots, bug out bag, ball cap, and the like.

Pretty much all your camping gear like your tent and chairs.

From an industrial standpoint the options are wide open. Treating the studs and drywall in your basement could make floods much less of a headache. Bridges would last a bit longer if they weren't worried about rust.

If it works like they show it, it could be a real game changer. Or a total flop.

I agree, most "this doesn't work" reviews are a product of not following the directions. Things like ignoring that it should sit for 12 hours before being touched can dramatically change how effective it is. Regardless, I bought one and I'm going to try it out as soon as I get a chance. So I will report my results back when I get that chance.

I'll be interested to see how it holds up to UV - on a boat's console cover for example.

Thanks for the tip. A friend of mine has been looking for something to use on his lawn tractor cutting deck to stop the grass from sticking. This may just do the trick.

Neverwet? I thought wedding cake took care of that.

False. Long term girlfriends have the same effect.

Would it work on firearm?

That's a vague question. I doubt it could stand up to things like friction from a BCG or heat from a barrel. It's designed for water displacement. You could probably spray a magazine with it to keep mud from creeping in i'm guessing.

LOL. The guy in the video is pissed off that dish soap breaks down the hydrophobic capabilities. Well dish soap is a detergent... Obviously it will break down the product.

No more condoms for this guy

so i tried this on my lawnmower and had much the same results as the guy with the mags vid

went on nice and water rolled right off at first but it had worn off by the time i finished the lawn.

in the products defense, the direction do encourage a thorough cleaning of what you plan on coating beforehand and i had a heck of a time trying to get my lawnmower deck clean.

i'm still going to try it on a few other things like a hat, jacket and gear bag but they also caution that it will look cloudy and feel chalky on a lot of fabrics.

Spray it on your ass and you might1 not even have to wipe!1

I have been told to use cooking spray on lawnmower deck and blade. It doesn't prevent the sticking but it makes it much easier to clean.

Yeah, since the package says that detergent will remove the product that part of the test seems pretty unfair.

wesser1 · Jul 2, 2013

Yeah, this stuff didn't do well with my lawnmower situation either. I sprayed it inside of my push mower in an attempt to get less grass sticking to the ejection port (it clogs constantly). It worked for about one row of grass, which could mean it didn't work at all. Again though as Waz pointed out, I couldn't get it perfectly clean, so maybe that plays a role. I don't think grass slinging across it constantly is really a good test either. :-/ I'm still trying to think of other practical uses for it. Still haven't had a chance to spray my rims with it.

I was skeptical but something that cant gey wet with a nano coating is possible maybe just not neverwet cheap or easy yet it will be something standard on all the plastic guns of the futue we build in our basements eith 3D printers hehe
