The days of taking your car to the car wash may soon be behind you thanks to Nissan's newly developed solution to the painstaking task: self-cleaning paint. With the power to repel a variety of elements such as mud and dirt, the paint technology could mean the end of traditional car wash services and become a hot commodity in the automotive world. Nissan's highly popular electric car, the eco-friendly Leaf, is the latest model to try on the new coating, demonstrating its abilities, and hopefully, leading to its eventual release as an available option.

Now, for those who hate having to wash their car regularly due to the amount of dust the Arizona desert throws at it, Nissan's innovative paint solution may sound too good to be true. However, once you see what the car looks like after traveling through excessive water and dirt, you'll quickly become a believer. Nissan's Ultra-Ever Dry paint works by creating a layer of air that separates it from everyday environmental components. This causes water, mud and event sleet to effortlessly roll off the car, leaving it clean and tidy.

Nissan doesn't have any current plans to make the paint coating standard on their entire lineup, but they do want to eventually offer it as an aftermarket option. The Nissan Leaf's all-electric powertrain and green features would make it a perfect choice for the paint technology, leaving buyers impressed and altering the automotive world for the better.
