The bike oil (and air) filter would perhaps never need replacing...

Imagine it. Just one pair of undies:eek:
I bet it would make cleaning the shock, linkages, inside of the swing arm etc a doddle.

FAQ's from the site:
1. What is the working temperature range for Ultra-Ever Dry SE 7.6.110?
Answer: The working temperature range for the product is from -30°F to 300°F (-34°C to 149°C) once it has been applied. It has been effective at temperatures up to 500°F, but we would recommend further testing for any application that will see temperatures above 300°F (149°C).
2. How long will Ultra-Ever Dry coating last?
Answer: Environmental conditions will affect duration and these can vary. Abrasion is the leading cause of reduction in the superhydrophobic coating’s life. Under non-abrasive, static conditions, you should expect to see many years of outdoor service. Indoor applications will exceed that of outdoor applications.
3. What materials will the Ultra-Every Dry adhere or bond to?
Answer: Almost any material is a candidate for Ultra-Ever Dry application; steel, aluminum, other metals, plastic, leather, fabric, wood, concrete, etc.
4. How abrasion-resistant is Ultra-Ever Dry SE 7.6.110?
Answer: One of the breakthroughs for this product is its abrasion resistance. The proprietary material provides more abrasion resistance than previous superhydrophobic materials, registering a result of 110 on the Tabor Abrasion Method (ASTM D4060-10). If abrasion is a concern, testing is recommended. If the superhydrophobic coating is removed due to abrasion, it can be reapplied by re-spraying.
5. Will the superhydrophobic coating still work if the top coat is greatly reduced due to abrasion?
Answer: Yes. In many situations, the superhydrophobic nature of the material may be diminished but the remaining top coat and bottom coat still provide the functionality of keeping the coated material from getting wet, iced-up or corroding. This is application dependent.
6. How many square feet or square meters can a gallon of Ultra-Ever Dry cover?
Answer: A gallon of Ultra-Ever Dry will cover 150 – 180 square feet or 14 - 16 square meters.
7. How is Ultra-Ever Dry applied?
Answer: The two-part system (top and bottom coat) is sprayed on using air sprayers, pump sprayers or even finger trigger sprayers. NOTE: Both parts (top and bottom coat) are required for all applications of Ultra-Ever Dry.
8. How long does Ultra-Ever Dry SE 7.6.110 take to cure?
Answer: Generally about 20 - 30 minutes for the bottom coat and 5-10 minutes for the top coat. This can be reduced by applying heat using an oven or an industrial heat gun or blow dryer.
9. What do the terms “superhydrophobic” and “oleophobic” mean?
Answer: Superhydrophobic refers to a coating that exhibits superior water repelling properties that exceeds 150 degrees of contact angle when measuring the sphere of a drop of water on the surface. Ultra-Ever Dry creates an angle of 165-175 degrees. Well-known windshield water repellants are closer to 110 degrees and are only “hydrophobic”. Oleophobic refers to the ability to repel oil and other hydrocarbons. This chart will help illustrate.
10. What color is the superhydrophobic coating?
Answer: The standard product is a translucent white. We do not have a transparent formula at this time. Custom colors are available upon request, minimums may apply. It is recommended to try the superhydrophobic coating in an inconspicuous area first if color is important.

Why not "most of us do all ready.
Are you sure you come from Hamilton and call yourself "duck",,,,,,I'm having my doubts.:scratch:

Visor would be ideal :niceone:
and the front sprocket cover, under the bike etc. all that oily area would be great.
Inside of car windows to stop steamy windows?
Shower floor to make it less slippery, and no soap scum.
Coat the grooves of a tire in it so the water is expelled from the tire faster?
Waterslides for epic sliperyness (you could go down a waterslide with 1 bucket of water).

That nasty,dirty little cranny popped into mind after my last post. Wonder how it would work on an o ring chain?

I wonder what any long term effect on the surface would be. Would it affect breathability of clothing etc.
How much is the cost?

You'd hope so. Imagine if you dived in and got squeezed to the bottom of the ocean and crushed!:cool:
