This stuff has been floating around for a while. Might have even been posted on here but this is the first time I've seen it available to the public.

I think I'm going to head over to Home Depot and pick some up. Spray down my plastics and see how it goes...

Home Depot $19.97

Nice to see it's available to the public now! I'll probably grab some next time I'm at the Home Depot and try it out on a few things.

Sweet! Pumped this stuff in finally on the market.

I'll definitely be hitting under the fenders and skid plates at least!!

Don't think I would use it on clothing. I just don't see how it could be breathable, Plus they say it leave a light haze
(One article I read said they are working on a clear version.)

Hopefully this will help with two stroke exhaust from staining rear fenders as well.

Not sure about the "Frosted" look after its applied to certain colors or materials. But very cool and useful in alot of applications.
And the price doesnt seem to bad either if it protects your investments.

Will be very interesting to hear if it works as well as advertised! I look forward to the reports.

Using it on anything moto will likely be a continuous stream of re-treats. Their spec say that it doesn't have good abrasion resistance. I can't wait to finally try it though.

Thats what i was wondering. sure would be cool to spray the handrims on my wheelchair wheels with it. They are slick as shit when wet and i have no brakes, but kinda figured w/ constant pushing it would just wear off.
