Just came across this, I'm sure it's been out for a while. Cost on it is about $20. It's SUPERHYDROPHOBIC!!!
New stuff.....???
- Thread starter GravityX
- Start date
I hadn't read anything about the stuff..... seen it, posted it and now getting feedback. But now I have to ask, petroleum based oil or synthetic based oil?

It pretty new to the marketplace..... Quantum Liguiglas tried to get it going a couple years ago but a long wait and no go....

The instructions do not specify. Just remember that it's HYDROphobic not OLEOphobic. There are reviews on homedepot.com for the product, one comments that it has a gritty feel. The MSDS shows it has several solvents that may not be wheel friendly. Might be a good idea to try it on a junk set of wheels first!
I was going to post here and ask as to whether anyone had tried it. From what I could see of the packaging, it lists plastics as one of the things "best for use on". I didn't see anything about oil, however. Then again, I only looked at the packaging for a couple minutes as I don't have $20 for an experiment.
Ah. And there is the oil mentioned in the video.
It looked so much like this could be the "new, non-caloric, silicon-based, kitchen lubricant [Clark's] company has been working on that creates a surface five hundred times more slippery than any cooking oil."

Here's the instructions, look at the first question in the FAQ's:
http://www.rustoleum.com/~/media/DigitalEncyclopedia/Product/RustoleumUSA/CBG/neverwet/neverwet_instructions.ashx
It does only say "reduce" the hydrophobic properties not "eliminates" it, says it removes the top coat. Maybe try the base coat only?
Anyone tried the DIY replacement oleophobic coating for the iphones yet?
Let us know how it works for you, GX!

I'd be willing to try it one of these days, but not for the MOTM series.
EDIT: Per instruction sheet, it does not hold up well in an abrasive environment. Hmmm..... Scratch that idea!
