Rust Oleum experience

[Chetanh]

Did you apply rust oleum on the cameras? If yes then does it really make any difference and in what way?
Did you apply the base coat and the top coat or just the top coat?
Also, where did you buy it from.

Thanks

Why would you want to apply anything (much less rust oleum) to the cameras?

Isnt there where it is supposed to be applied to keep them water/snow/ice free

Rustoleum is basically paint:

Rust-Oleum | Spray Paint, Wood Stains, Floor Coatings and More

Are you looking for a glass treatment product that would help sheet water off the glass covering the cameras?

 

[Chetanh]

Yes the neverwet brand

Rain-X works fine. Not perfect, but does a better job than nothing.

My bad..did a little more goigling and found this on the tesla website

You can use Rust-Oleum NeverWet Top Coat on the front fascia of your car to help prevent ice buildup on the radar sensors used by Autopilot.

• Use Step 2 Top Coat only.
• A hazy finish may be present after the coating is applied, but after ice resistance is no longer needed it can be easily wiped off.

I bought the two pack of never wet at princess auto when it went on sale for $5. Sprayed my front steps and works great. Was going to spray the tesla until I found out you don't spray the circle dots but an area to the left of the licence plate. The colour or white haze would look horrible so decided not to do the tesla. Ended up spraying the back steps and maybe going to do my boots I use to cut the grass. Hope this helps.

How about using Rain-X on that area if that's where the snow and ice need to be minimized? Or maybe adding a heating element to that area if you can get to it inside the body? What is everyone doing to headlights? Isn't it hard to keep LED headlights clear with no heat from the bulbs?

Winter Driving Tips

Frozen Autopilot Sensors and Cameras
For optimal performance, clear autopilot sensors and cameras of snow, ice, mud and dirt. You can also prevent ice buildup by applying Rust-Oleum Never Wet Top Coat to the front fascia of your car. For more information, see ‘About Driver Assistance’ section of the owner’s manual.

It is recommended and believe the question was has anyone tested it and does it actually do anything for the money? I to have this question.

I use AquaPel on all the windows for the entire car (which includes cameras minus the rear). Excellent product and highly recommend. Water just beads off and snow can’t stick.

sorry, but what exactly is "front fascia" of the car? Is it the front "bumper" area?

Basically its the front end of the car, between the bumper and hood.
