Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa- Self-Cleaning Car

Most recently in the news, Nissan has been testing out a self-cleaning car! No one likes or wants to wash their car but what if the car didn't have to be washed? That is what Nissan is currently testing out. The way this happens is in the paint they use. The paint repels water, oil, mud, rain, and dirt. In the images below, the left side is a standard, dirty car. The right side is this repelling paint called Ultra-Ever Dry. The manufacturer of the paint and coating is UltraTech International.

The video below shows the process and result of the above car. This was done by Nissan Europe. 

             

The biggest concern here is making sure that the product will hold up in all different types of weather conditions and all different countries. Also, since it is the paint that repels the water, the grille can still get dirty along with the taillights and underneath the car. What do you think about this idea? Would you like to not have to wash your car as often?
