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.

From this question I now have a vision of your underpants being something like an F1 bend i.e. full of skid marks  :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked:

But just imagine.
We could then turn them inside out once a year instead of every six months.
