Never Wet Spray

stevent85 · 06-28-2013, 02:15 AM

i read somewhere that they are in the process of making a clear version. i saw a video of a dude coating an AR magazine and he mentioned that rubbing it with your fingers will remove the coat of neverwet. so unless you coat something that just sits there, it doesnt seem like it would be very effective. maybe once they make the clear version it will be better.

... That makes it really useless if it comes off that easily

The Never-wet spray certainly does work, but for darker colored finishes the top coat leaves a white film unless you spray very very lightly so I am not sure how it will hold up over the long run because the spray was so light. Or, spray the normal coverage amount as directed and be completely protected from the rain/moisture but have to deal with white filmy looking spots

After treating my running shoes, I decided to try my work boots. They are a black smooth leather finish. After following the directions and applying the coats, I noticed that while they bead excellently, they had turned my once black boots a frosted blueish color. I expected a frosted black, but not a frosted blue. They do repel water very well now though!
Overall, this product is good. It has a few drawbacks, but if you're willing to make a few sacrifices for a great liquid repellant, I'd highly suggest this product.

The product definitely works as advertised, at least temporarily. However, there are some downsides:
- It doesn't dry clear. The directions do mention that it will dry to a "flat, milky haze", but the spade looked like it had permanently been left outside overnight and was covered in frost.
- The coating comes off on your hands with light handling. It almost looks like chalk, and feels a little sticky.
- After two weeks of being left outside through a couple rainstorms, the coating has come about halfway off. The water doesn't bead up on the parts the coating has worn off of anymore.

and there goes spraying a windshield with this stuff, seriously if it dried clear, it would be the best replacement for rainx

Yeah, I've been following this for a few years now. The problem they have is durability. Essentially once you touch it, it's gone.

I'm sure Rust-Oleum paid a crapload for the license, and it may be a cool novelty, but it's not a practical product yet. I'll bet once the reviews start coming in, it will kill it.

Whatever this compound is, I sure hope they start thinking of car paint finishes and glass.

But how do you wash it off?

Razor blade?

Sounds like if you let it sit for a while it will work itself off.
