Alright guys, I have to go to work but I wanted to post ths so for the next 18 hours, you all can think about this

So I was just cleaning a plate, and there waa grease. As in fat. I tried to clean t off of my sink, and my fingers were all gross and geeasy. The water just slid over it, and it took soap and very hot water to get t off.

SO clearly ts woud make a good finish for water, but could ths have any possible benefit for fuel efficieny? As in making the car more smooth?

I am thinking to use it for the front end on my next road teip, instead of painters tape to protect the front end from bugs.

So I don't think t wil do anything, but I jist wanted to toss the idea to you guys. Let me know what you think!
