Pah. We've already solved the windshield problem, if crudely. Think bigger, and also smaller.
What about glasses/goggles, which are too small for wipers?
What about artificial heart parts, which have problems with blood clotting, presumably because it sticks to the surfaces and stops moving. If we could coat the parts we implant with this stuff, would it prevent blood clots?
Boat hulls.
Skis/snowboards.
Pipes/drains in hard water areas - if the water doesn't stick around, it won't evaporate to leave limescale behind.
