Nissan’s Self-Cleaning Car Prototype could just be the answer for many of us (me included) Let’s be honest here. Who actually enjoys cleaning their car? Ok I hear you, there is definitely a segment of the world out there who actually enjoys the whole cleaning deal-I confess I am not one of them. Obviously Nissan has thought this is a bit of an issue for many so Nissan in Europe has begun tests on innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt, meaning drivers may never have to clean their car again! Sounds good to me!
Nissan is the first carmaker to apply the technology, called Ultra-Ever Dry®, on automotive bodywork. By creating a protective layer of air between the paint and environment, it effectively stops standing water and road spray from creating dirty marks on the car’s surface.
So far, the coating, which is being marketed and sold by UltraTech International Inc®, has responded well to common use cases including rain, spray, frost, sleet and standing water. Whilst there are currently no plans for the technology to be applied to the model as standard, Nissan will continue to consider the coating technology as a future aftermarket option.
Something to definitely consider!!!
