I did a search, but everything seems very old. What was/is the verdict on NeverWet for automotive use? Not sure I could see it used all over, but wondering about wheels and lower body/fender areas that see a greater amount of road crud.

It will leave a frosted look on any surface you apply it to. And from what I`ve seen on YouTube and other reviews, its somewhat of a delicate coating and is easily damaged and its performance wears off. So I don`t see it as a good option for much more than "hey check this out!"
This is just what I`ve read and have no personal experience with it.

I used it on my cover for my outdoor furniture. It is green and looks like it has a light frost coating. Does noty poter me and has lasted all winter. Today was warm and the water was beading. First season so I will let you all know in a few weeks.
Did not work on my leather boots at all.

I put it on my timberlands. Turned them purple, worked for a week or so. Coating wore off, and still are dark. Cool concept, wish it would work better. I am going back to black leather & kiwi
I havent had expeirence my self with this companies products but the videos i watched and reviews i read this stuff is the real deal. The rustoleum stuf is child play compared to this. But it is pricey. I guess you get what you pay for
Ultra Ever Dry

The problem with achieving this type of water behavior on clearcoat or paint, is you are sacrificing gloss and slickness in favor of a coating that utilizes a form of texture to produce such aggressive water beading. There is a theoretical limit to how tight you can get water to bead on a really smooth surface, and that`s a contact angle of 120°. That`s definitely impressive but it`s well under the superhydrophobic level that you`re seeing in the video which is a contact angle above 150°.
So if you really want impressive beading beyond a certain point, you`ll need that micro-level texture to help boost it. And that texture is going to alter the way the light bounces off of the surface, and you`re going to end up with less shine and gloss, as well as a less slick feeling of the paint. This is why we haven`t seen superhydrophobic coatings in the detailing world except for applications like carpet/cloth/convertible tops. Sonax Polymer Net Shield and Brilliant Shine Detailer is about as good as it gets on paint and I think they`re using a form of this nano-texture to give off such impressive beading. That`s why they don`t feel as slick on the paint compared to other products, but they`ve managed to do it without sacrificing gloss or shine levels. Both of those are still way under superhydrophobic levels.
