What if the days of cleaning cars are slowly coming to an end? It is possible, and Nissan is already at the helm of what could turn out to be a revolutionary technology. Washing your car is never an easy thing, and for some drivers, they are forced to use buckets since the car is parked too far from the hose.
Nissan is hoping to ease the pain, hoping to make us quite lazier than we already are. Because of technology, several highly physical actions we use to perform have gotten easier. For example, there's no reason to get up and change that channel because of the remote. And soon enough, we might no longer need the remote since our voice should work just fine.
The big question is, how does Nissan plan to make its future line of cars always squeaky clean? Well, the company has created a "super-hydrophobic" paint that is designed to repel dirt, oil and water. The carmaker is looking into testing this new technology in Europe in hopes that one day, drivers may never have to wash their cars ever again.
According to Nissan, it is the first carmaker to use this Ultra-Ever Dry on its cars. From what we understand, this type of paint creates a protective layer of air between the paint and the environment, which is similar to how Scotchgard protects your furniture and clothes.
"The Nissan Note has been carefully engineered to take the stress out of customer driving, and Nissan's engineers are constantly thinking of new ways to make families' lives easier," Geraldine Ingham, Chief Marketing Manager for Nissan Note, said in a statement. "We are committed to addressing everyday problems our customers face and will always consider testing exciting, cutting edge technology like this incredible coating application."
This talk of never having to clean a car again sounds crazy and might not even work outside of Nissan's PR video. But what if it does work, what if we truly never have to clean a car again for the rest of our lives? That could be awesome.
We're guessing there are things Nissan is not telling us. For example, how often are drivers required to repaint their car with this new type of paint? We doubt a single coating will last for a decade.
