★★★★☆
Works great if you know when and how to use it. Some guidelines:
Yes, this does work. It repels water completely as long as it is in place. However, it does leave a white haze (and if you don't see that haze during application, you probably haven't used enough to be effective). The good news is that the haze shouldn't be obvious to others once the NeverWet dries - IF you have used it on white or light colored items.
This product works great on white athletic shoes! Also on canvas slip ons, etc. Water and other liquids roll right off. I found that I had to reapply often on items which got heavy wear. Still, if you do this diligently, your items should look newer longer.
Product literature says not to apply to clothing. But footwear, including athletic shoes and work boots, are fine. To check results and the possible haze you might want to test a small area first.
So....NEVER wet? No. It does wear off and will not last forever. But while it is effective it is VERY effective.Just keep that milky color in mind. I wouldn't spray it on black fabrics.
