I'm all over that. I'll spray the boat the dogs the hasp the xd oil cans and maybe even myself. Check out the corrosion tests. impressive. Wonder what nano wonder chemical is in the stuff?

Is it possible that it could get Into your blood and make it not stick to artery walls and so reduce cardiovascular disease also??

Yay technology :P

Looks like the perfect car wax.

Have an elephant ear plant in your house? It does the same thing. Pour honey on the plant leaf and it just rolls off like it never touched it. I looks unreal to watch honey roll on a surface of something.
