Title: 'Self-cleaning' car put to the test
Post by: eye30 on April 24, 2014, 18:46:11: Relief for those reluctant to clean their cars could soon be on the way.

For Nissan has begun tests on a "self-cleaning" vehicle which could wash away the worries of those weary of doing the job themselves.

At Nissan's European technical centre in Switzerland tests are being carried out on innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt.

The specially engineered super-hydrophobic and oleophobic paint, which repels water and oils, has been applied to the all-new Nissan Note model.
