Check this out.

The Official Ultra-Ever Dry Product Video - Superhydrophobic and oleophobic

Looks like we could spray it in the sat dish and never have water droplets interfering with reception. Might even want to spray it on all exterior surfaces, keep all types of crud from sticking.

My brother asked me about it.  He thought it might work good on the bottom of his boat.  My research found that apparently the company tested it on a 32' sport fisher and found it actually slowed it down by a knot.  Still might be good to inhibit bottom growth. 
Cost is about $500 a gallon and coverage is 150- 180 sq. ft. per gallon.  Very little discounting for larger volumes.
High pressure washers, detergents, soaps and some solvents will degrade it's properties as well as severe abrasion.
Difficult to say how long it will last.  Outdoor UV resistance is 5-7 years.  Literature says abrasion is the main factor in life reduction.
Application seems to be easy - any type of sprayer that can do xylene and Acetone solvent based paints.

I have seen similar paint called "Hydroscopic" paint, (I think it was called), used to paint the large satellite dishes for up linking during winter ice/snow conditions.  It was at that time used by Bendix Co., The man painting the dish had a plastic plate he had painted, he would splash some water on the plate and the water turned to millions of bubbles and went away like steam, plate was dry. Had to see it a few times before I could believe it, still don't.
The next generation of dish was plastic/PVC, with 1 or 2 LP Gas hot air heaters hanging from a gimble like bracket with flex hoses, blowing heat into the dish, about  18" thick, to keep the ice/snow from building up.

According to the MSDS it is 91% strong solvent. If anyone buys it they need to used the proper safety equipment, respirator, gloves etc. My guess is that they are riding the wave caused by their video and it will come down in price considerably in the future.

I don't believe the current formula could be used on the front of a coach or car since the base has color and the final coat is translucent rather than clear. I doubt that this particular formula will ever be available in clear due to the polymer component.

The video sure is interesting. However I think you could use Rain-X on your satellite dish and ReJex on the front of the coach and save a lot of money. They seem to work very well. IMHO
