Ars Asks: We’ve got some UltraEverDry—what should we put it on?

A little under a month ago, we posted about UltraEverDry, a "revolutionary super hydrophobic coating that repels water and refined oils using nanotechnology," according to the manufacturer. The post was accompanied by a pretty amazing video of the stuff in action. The coating appears to laugh at water, oil, mud, and dirt, causing liquids of all types to cascade quickly off all kinds of different objects and surfaces.

We were intrigued, and so were you, judging by the comments on our last post. The video was done in prime infomercial style—complete with some upbeat synth-y elevator music—but it appeared to demonstrate a fascinating product. The UltraEverDry coating was clearly both hydrophobic (able to repel water) and oleophobic (able to repel oils). We were left wanting to know a lot more about UltraEverDry. What could we apply it to? How well does it work, really? Can I apply it to my dog? Will it make my dog able to repel water? (Note: Just kidding! I'd never spray UltraEverDry on my dog because I don't have a dog. However, my neighbor has a dog. Hmmmm.)

Pet applications aside, we've acquired a stash of UltraEverDry and it's sitting here next to me, awaiting its destiny. We turn to you, dear readers: what should we spray it on?
