Some of you have been anticipating the release of this super cool, nano-technologic product.
It's HERE! And it's being sold at Home Depot(maybe only in the US...havn't check the HD' here yet)

If you don't know what it is, here's a video.

Essentially, it's a super-hydrophoic coating that you can spray onto any surface and it repells almost all liquids(and some moist solids). It's got a ton of applications for us MotoPsychos!
Spray it on your gloves, jackets, pants, shoes, backpacks, tank bags, exposed electrics, handlebars, seats, or pretty much drench ourselves in it!

I'm excited to pick up this product when I swing by the US this weekend.

What are some creative\inventive uses for this?
How else can us riders take advantage of this aweesome technology?
 
I remember seeing this a long time ago....Can't wait to pick up some cans! Are they not available in Canada yet? You should bring a bunch over and sell them to GTAMers!

Is it heat resistant? I'd coat my bike with it and my bike cover. Man...COAT MY VISOR! Not sure what kind of side effects it may have though. Dude even coating an umbrella with it is awesome.

There must be some cons to this stuff, non-removable? smells? obviously non-porous. brittle? not cold or heat resistant?
 
So you are going to spray all of your gear without knowing if it will essentially eat the leather or damage the plastics?
 
FYI, the spray is NOT clear. It leaves a distinct gray coating on top of everything you spray it on. (i.e. You can't spray it on your visor).

It also doesn't really work on moto gear because the seams and ventilation holes will still allow the water in. It will just make it harder for the inside to dry afterwards.

I can live with it not sealing the ventilation points and zippers. What bothers me with so many different types of gear I've tried is that wherever there's a crease or fold that water doesn't immediately drain away from - it will soak through. My Icon Patrol jacket is pretty damn good, but lately in heavy rain the inside of my elbows gets wet. There's usually a fold there, and I think water just sits and soaks in. So have you heard any good things about it working, or is it just not worth the effort?
 
I read the have a clear coat coming out
 
Assuming it's not toxic, this thing has unbelievable potential.

-If it's even remotely durable it's a lot more cost effective than those $300 rust treatments for the underside of your car.
-Every piece of electronics manufactured should be sprayed with it. Even in a flood your stuff would be fine.
-I'm guessing every competitive aquatic vehicle owner in the US has or will soon be buying this for the underside of their boat/canoe/surfboard/etc..
-Coat the inside of sewage/water pipes and you never have to worry about cleaning or blockage again.
-Spray any wall to make it graffiti-proof
... the list goes on and on

If Rust-Oleum wasn't a private corporation, I'd be investing.
 
Wonder what the occupational hazards are, or what happens when it collects in the environment. People will spray this stuff everywhere (and breathe in the overspray), so I guess we'll find out.
 
Wear goggles, it'll make your eyes water.
 
I have a can of this stuff. It does not last very long, it degrades in sunlight, and it is extremely neurotoxic. I would not put this on any clothing that touches skin. It's cool for novelty effects, but about as practical as silicone spray.
I don't get the graffiti-proof comment, it's hydrophobic, but any solvent will go right through it.
