I bought some last weekend, and might have coated part of a picnic table at MAP's Proving Grounds with it.

It's pricey and doesn't cover much area, but, it's cool stuff.

^I'll have to see how much suspension I can get covered with it. Hopefully it's nothing that will harm the parts

I'm very confident this is the exact same stuff as Ultra Ever Dry, only much, much cheaper. I chose to try an oil catch pan because I hate wiping stuff off after emptying it, even for these closed top ones.


NeverWet and Puppy:




Instructions - I followed these pretty closely, minus the timing of the spray - but if anything I took longer than what it suggested. 2 coats of base and 2 coats of top:








Base Coat 1 (Wet) - Smells a LOT like nail polish remover:




Base Coat 2 (Dry):




Top Coat 1 (Wet):




Top 1 (Dry):




Top 2 (Wet):




It may just be me but I was unfortunately unable to get a very even, smooth coat with the spray system. I'll post a video of it in action tomorrow (Top Coat preferably takes 12 hrs for best results) so sorry for the tease. Hopefully it works as advertised!

its great stuff. slightly cloudy and it peels off (not very abrasion resistant) but great nonetheless.

Just gave NeverWet a shot - as expected, it works as advertised for water - however, it does NOT work for engine oil, which is a bummer.



I doubt the reason it doesn't work for motor oil is the viscosity, probably some property in the oil. I won't bother testing other oils (vegetable oil, trans fluid) since it doesn't really matter. I'll probably still coat my wheel wells etc in this stuff since it seems to work for road grime etc

I wonder for those of you doing it on wheels, how well it would work with brake dust?
