Just came across an interesting company that offers nano solutions for pretty much everything. I've listed the link at the bottom but it's in danish and I haven't been able to find an english site offering the same products.
Supposedly they offer solutions for both textiles as well as harder surfaces (metal, plastic, tile, etc). It is supposed to make water bead on pretty much any surface and make them "filth resistant". Kind of like a teflon treatment. A couple of weeks ago they ran a comercial campaign on TV where they submerged a fibertextile couch in red dye. And sure enough, you could brush off the red die with your sleeve (if that was treated with nanosolution too  ). I know I know...TV comercials and the truth. I must say however that it looked pretty convincing. I browsed their website and kind of got taken in by it all and ordered a small bottle for treating helmets and visors. It was only 15 Euros, so I though what the heck.
Anyone know of an english website or simillar product? Anyway Ted, just a "waterproofing" solution that you might look into. I haven't tried it myself (yet) but just thought I'd mention it.
