The paint is called Ultra-Ever Dry and uses process called nanopatterning. This coats surface of something with tiny bumps and grooves that stop water and oil from sticking to it. Nissan said paint has "responded well" to many weather conditions, including frost, rain, sleet and snow. carmaker added that its engineers will continue testing paint in near future to see how close they can get to product ready for market.

Nissan's website says: "Washing car can be chore – and a costly one at that." However, it has no immediate plans to use new paint as standard on its cars. It may offer it as option in future. Company spokeswoman Geraldine Ingham said new paint is currently only being tested on company's Note family car. She said: " Nissan Note has been carefully engineered to take stress out of customer driving, and Nissan's engineers are constantly thinking of new ways to make families' lives easier." She added: "We are committed to addressing everyday problems our customers face and will always consider testing exciting, cutting-edge technology like this incredible coating application.
