Good stuff! Don't expect the world from it though...

After first use and getting a general feel for applying the coats I have to say there is a small learning curve in how to apply depending on the surface type. Smooth surfaces don't need much while porous surfaces require more base coat (Can 1). There appears to be a white residue that comes off to the touch after completely cured. The base coat looks to be the main ingredient and the top coat the catalyst or reacting agent as it is mostly Acetone (so says the contents label). My experience is currently with cotton, glass, aluminum and plastic. The plastic and aluminum turned out great! Completely as expected and almost untraceable on the aluminum in regards to the hazey residue that the finish creates; one could not tell it was on plastic. The glass test adhered incredibly, but even after full 12 hour curing was quite easy to remove by simply rubbing a finger against the surface with some pressure and the membrane peels off similar to skin. The cotton test was the least impressive as it did not completely repel all droplets (though this may be attributed to first use and improper application). The majority of the cotton shirt was extremely water resistant, but water still managed to penetrated some areas very easily (possibly through exposed cotton fibers not coated or missed); the real downer is the fabric (which had started out extremely soft) became hardened\stiff. Regardless the product performs incredibly! Just as advertised. I felt the directions could answer a few more questions and be more in depth, but hey that's what you have the internet for, right? Don't expect to put this on literally everything, though, the cans say on them "contents contain a chemical know to cause cancer and birth defects". So be wary when you are using this product and ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES & A RESPIRATOR! Perfect for outdoor use but I cannot say I would use it extensively in the home. If you don't care about anything I said before just be aware: THIS WILL CHANGE HOW YOUR CLOTHES & SURFACES LOOK (unless they are fairly light-colored).
