Put that garden hose away and keep the bucket in the garage. Washing your car could be ancient history, thanks to the futuristic paintjob Nissan has applied to one of its vehicles.
Nissan Europe has applied a coating of Ultra-Ever Dry paint to half of a Note hatchback. This is the first automotive application of this ultra-resistant coating
The paint is super-hyrdrophobic and oleophobic, apparently. And no, that doesn’t mean this Nissan is scared of heights, or creepy crawlies.
In layman’s terms, this paint has a complete and total aversion to water and oils, amongst the many other things that can turn your car into a mess.
The coating uses nanotechnology, which creates a microscopically thin layer of air between the paint and the car’s surrounding environment.
At the moment, however, Nissan Europe has stated there are no plans to offer this self-cleaning paint on production models. The car will be undergoing testing in Europe over the next several months, and in a wide range of driving conditions.
