I work in yachting and this has come to our industry from someone who spied it at a gun show in the USA. Its application to 4WD'ing could be awesome - not sure if anyone is importing or distributing it yet though?

from what i can figure.... if you heavily coated your entire engine. it would only be for the better...
hmmmm.... would like to get my hands on a can or three... test it out.

I would love to know if the drill and light were fed from a standard socket outlet, or an isolated supply.

Not knocking the product but, people you do realise that most modern high pressure petrol fuel pumps run submerged in the fuel tank and the fuel actually passes through the body of the motor past the armateur and brushes. I've also used a cordless drill (yes, I know not 240v or 110v like the demo guy) underwater before with a worry. The light bulb fitting underwater is impressive tho.

would be awesome for stopping petrol's dieing when they see water

this stuff also could be better than fish oil/lanolin products for corrosion protection.
i have noticed lanolin is not very good when it comes to electrical stuff, it seems to be a bit of an insulator (bad)

I have been told that this is no more than snake oil an that
this is the stuff you want
I have seen some demos on you tube. Looks to be just as good but it has been designed and used for this purpose before.

all of that is possible without oil.
An a/c drill motor is DC and the same as the cordless above (higher voltage though. Hook one up to a battery and watch it spin
And if the water is pure the light will work too.
as long as the operator has insulated shoes / not earthed and uses one hand you shouldn't get a shock - (like hanging on one power line) Also the voltage may be lower than 240 - in the states its 110 (although current is higher)

Had a rep come around to work and show the mechanic something very similar to this, was going on about being able to do very similar things with the light globe trick and plug fittings etc.
NFI what the name of it was but..
