If this is no hoax (like that Steorn /THING/) then things will be considerably interesting once these spray bottles hit the shelves.
No more need to spend £££ on Car waxes and products, simply spray on some "SiO2 ultra-thin layering" and simply rinse with a warm hose for a year to clean it.
Oh yeah, it also has many other uses too described in the source article ¬_¬
(PhysOrg.com) -- Spray-on liquid glass is transparent, non-toxic, and can protect virtually any surface against almost any damage from hazards such as water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. The coating is also flexible and breathable, which makes it suitable for use on an enormous array of products.
The liquid glass spray (technically termed “SiO2 ultra-thin layering”) consists of almost pure silicon dioxide (silica, the normal compound in glass) extracted from quartz sand. Water or ethanol is added, depending on the type of surface to be coated. There are no additives, and the nano-scale glass coating bonds to the surface because of the quantum forces involved. According to the manufacturers, liquid glass has a long-lasting antibacterial effect because microbes landing on the surface cannot divide or replicate easily.
