I wouldn't mind coating my bikes/kit in the stuff. I have seen examples of this before, but not as a finished product for sales.

Quite expensive, but worth it if it lasts.

    That product link is for just the spray bottles, they don't actually contain any of the superhydrophobic substance.

    You have to buy that separately: http://www.ultraeverdrystore.com/products/

    You also need to buy both the bottom coat and top coat separately... So the smallest (roughly a litre) cans and the trigger bottles would come to $184 minimum.

    I would totally pay that though.

    They want $35 dollars for 2 spray bottles? These guys need to teach Orange a thing or two about selling over priced products

    Cheers, sh1t I didn't realise that. I would hope after time it comes down in price with competition.

    Wonder what coating your car in that would be like.

    Never have to wash it again as well, you can't wash it?

    Just comes down to lifespan I reckon, if it lasts then we're going to see more of it (it'll be very useful industrially), if it doesn't then maybe not.

    Love the demo with the pane of glass though!

    Overpriced? How do you know if they're even breaking even? Stuff like this must cost a fortune to develop and research.

    Or what they could do, is purchase the SPRAY BOTTLES from a supplier and pay a little extra to have their logo put on them

    They probably need specific spray bottles that prevent the liquid from reacting with the material and clogging the spray end of something.

    Or we could follow your thinking and assume every company is out to get us and that man never landed on the moon...
