Anti-ice in an aerosol can?
 

When I saw this video, I immediately thought, "I need a can of that for my wings and canopy!" Wonder when they'll bring the product to market?

Mike,
I like it! It would be awesome if we could prevent ice on all airplanes.

Better living through chemistry...

I liked the self-cleaning aspect of it even better . Be sure to watch this video as well

While ice isn't as much an issue for me, but I like the idea of nothing sticking to the airplane. Means less cleaning and more flying! :)

What about paint?
 

Nothing sticking to the airplane sounds great, although you probably would like paint to stick when you need to repair a ding.

seems amazing and a very promising solution. When will it be available?

I did not look extensively through the site but I did not see anything indicating whether this is a temporary fix (like RainX for water that needs refreshed every so often) or if it is a somewhat more permanent coating (more like paint).

a note on the site says spray cans available mid 2012. I'd assume if it is sprayed on from a rattle can it probably needs to be redone periodically. Just a guess.

Should last a while...
 

I saw one of their videos that showed a plate that had been coated and dropped into a tub of seawater for over one year. It still retained it's water repellant characteristics. I would say that shows significant durability. Perhaps this compound could be used on top of paint, or incorporated into the paint on our planes to prevent corrosion, ice, dirt, etc. Sounds like a miracle product. Let's hope they come to market soon. I'd love some de-ice, de-dirt protection on my finished airplane!

I just can't imagine how [nicely] this may open up the door/sky for winter flying when/where ice is the main concern.

I can not wait.
