On there website it says when the surface gets dusty a light spray with water and the dust ( and I guess things like bird poo) will just roll off. This could make us more money by speeding up each house instead of say 20 min to do a house might only take 10 min using this stuff.

in all fairness you do have a point...its early stages at the moment and maybe not cost effective for the customer to use it yet but there would certainly be a market for it...i wonder how long it last for

Also if the windows still got dirty we could save a lot of money because we wouldnt need pure water just normal tap water

Just like the great explorers of the world never found the Holy Grail

Neither will anybody ever make self cleaning glass that is self cleaning or any other product that will cause us windys to lose any significant amount of work . Mike

Looks impressive but they don't say how long the coating lasts once it has been applied?
I would presume it does not have an indefinite shelf-life, and would need to be re-applied every so often.
Also in an outside environment how does it cope with uv rays, wind, hot and cold temperatures?
It looks to me that it would be more suitable to the clothing/garment industry and also as a protecting agent for electronic/electrical appliances and gadgets.
If any of my customers mention using it on their windows I will tell them it causes cancer and your numpty will drop off.  ;D

Yeah. Another point is, when applied to a window, will it be invisible when in direct sunlight etc? They've been talking about this on forums since about 2011, can't find a European release yet. Don't know if UK HMRC will allow it to be imported.

Maybe someone on here has seen this on the shelf somewhere?

Panic over  ;D ;D ;D Just been on their site and it can not be used on transparent surfaces such as glass, it dries with a frosted appearance.

Carry on..
