Nissan Debuts Self-Cleaning Note For European Market
For Europeans who enjoy self-cleaning ovens and cats, and would prefer not to wash and wax their Nissan Note, Nissan in Europe has unveiled a Note for them that is resistant to dirt and oil by way of its new coating.
Autoblog reports the Note wears an experimental super-hydrophobic/oleophobic coating which casts off water, dirt, oil and grime in the same manner as a duck’s back, leaving the paint underneath free and clear.
Dubbed Ultra-Ever Dry by its maker, Ultra-Tech International Inc., the coating will undergo a number of tests over the coming months at the Nissan Technical Centre Europe in Switzerland before making the the coating available for the Note as a potential aftermarket option.

"Nano" anything should be viewed with the most skepticism - it could be this century's version of the "miracle mineral"; asbestos. Of course, millions of unsuspecting citizens will be the "beta testers" for this wondrous new tech.
Several years ago I remember reading about Nissan designing a surface finish in a clear that will 'flow' and fill in scratches on it's own. This would be very useful for off roaders. http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/TECHNOLOGY/OVERVIEW/scratch.html
