OK.
sixshotsays...I'm going to ask some obvious questions here:
1) How soon can we get this into the general market?
2) When will be able to see this used on cars (windshield/windows primarily)
3) How much will this cost to the consumers to get this?
4) Should the coating be applied on roads and/or tires, what kind of effect will it have as far as tire-grip on a rainy day? (related: will this increase or decrease hydroplaning?)
Enzobluesays...MARK MY WORDS: The reason why this hasn't made it to market yet is that it doesn't come off. I mean, how can you get it off if nothing sticks to it? One application would be good for years. I'll bet money that they are now desperately trying to find a way to have it only last a few hours, like a sunscreen lotion. Then you'll have to buy it repeatedly and then they can become multi-billionaires instead of just billionaires.

GeeSussFreeKsays...Some things need hydration to maintain their structural form over the long term, so don't go to crazy with hydrophobic applications...can lead to cracking and embrittlement of certain materials.
deathcowsays...I can see exciting new lymphomas on the horizon.
Yogisays...I'm tired of seeing demonstrations...SELL THE FUCKING STUFF ALREADY!

Increase aquaplaning dramatically, it'll be worse than driving on ice or water on ice. It's close to oil slick in the rain but as i understand it, it would be even worse than that.
It only repels water, thus the name.. It won't help with oily substances, again i really don't know.
