This may or may not be a miracle product.
There are serious questions to be answered before you try it.
1)
Cost – the website
says it won’t be cheap or even reasonable
2)
Anything that is
hydrophobic will not be friendly to your health. Your health depends on being hydrophilic.
I’m talking lungs here.
3)
Applying it may be incompatible
to plastic airplane parts.
4)
Removing it for any reason
may not be friendly to plastic airplane parts.
5)
Repainting around it or
next to it may be challenging too.
6)
Getting it to stick to
something may take extraordinary means which are not available to us propeller
heads or compatible with plastic airplane parts.
7)
How long does a treated
surface repel everything?
And the list likely goes on for a while.
There appears to be some very good uses
too. Deicing comes to mind. Just think about not having to use chemicals or
heat to rid the leading edges of ice. Nice. It maybe very useful on metal and
windscreens. No more bug splats and disruption of our precious laminar flow
surfaces.

So Doc, can I use this stuff on body parts?

At Ross Nanotechnology, we have developed
a super hydrophobic coating that completely repels water and heavy oils. Any
object coated with our NeverWet™ coating literally cannot be touched by
liquid. Any liquid placed on this coating is repelled and simply rolls off
without touching the underlying surface. Not only is this amazing to see, but
it solves a myriad of problems
