For those interested - here's the actual video of the car wash, shows the hydrophobic effect quite well.
OMG - makes my skin crawl to watch someone pressure wash a vehicle. Forcing water at +500 psi into areas never meant to take that type of pressure will screw with things like body joint sealing, electronics (think very expensive HID lighting), door seals, glued-on or double sided taped badges and so on. Then to top it off, spray the jet directing into the front of the car into the intercooler and radiator, bending all those soft heat-disapating vanes.

But that's just me.

Cool product, but a couple cups of water would have convinced me.

Seems like pressure washing like that would surely cause water to get in places it wasn't meant too.
