I know the waxes, details sprays, and other things are supposed to make the surface of the car more hydrophobic, and let water bead up on it. Mine stays well waxed, and I love the way water had trouble sticking to it. However, what I want to know, is how to make my car this hydrophobic!



YouTube - Bouncing Water Droplet Falling onto Super-Hydrophobic Surface

Although, I am a bit scared that if my paint was that hydrophobic, the water in the radiator may be rush out of the bottom of the car.

 

That is totally insane.
I have never seen anything like that.

 

Steve, getting a little bored in Auburn, are we?

 

I get the same result with Waxoyl. No water adherence. no corrosion. Gary

 

You would never have to dry your car after washing again, and no more water spots! Awesome!

 

sign me up, very cool video

 

This might be of interest, it was on the same area of utube. Woody

Hint the static charge of falling causes the water to float on its self - repulsion. Same thing you can see on the sink when you have a small stream of water hitting a clean water surface. Clean no soap...

New way to dry your car after washing, take car to 20 mph and slam on the brakes. Done!

 

You want your car to be hydrophobic, huh? Step 1 - find a rabid dog. Step 2 - have dog bite car.
