NISSAN DEVELOPS WORLD'S FIRST CLEAR PAINT

THAT REPAIRS SCRATCHES ON CAR SURFACES



TOKYO (Dec. 2, 2005)-- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., has developed the world’s first clear paint that repairs scratches on painted car surfaces, including scratches from car-washing machines, off-road driving and fingernails.



“Scratch Guard Coat� contains a newly developed high elastic resin that helps prevent scratches from affecting the inner layers of a car’s painted surface. With “Scratch Guard Coat� a car’s scratched surface will return to its original state anywhere from one day to a week, depending on temperature and the depth of the scratch.



The water-repellant paint also has a higher resistance to scratches compared with conventional clear paints. A vehicle painted with “Scratch Guard Coat� will have only one-fifth the abrasions caused by a car-washing machine compared with a car covered with conventional clear paint. Scratches from car-washing machines account for the majority of scratches to painted car surfaces.



“Scratch Guard Coat� is effective for about three years.



“Scratch Guard Coat� will be applied for the first time on an SUV model that is scheduled for a partial makeover in the near future. The paint will be applied to the car’s chassis, bumpers, door mirrors, among other parts.

Why? I welcome all "top-notch" products no matter what country they originate from.

Wouldn't it be easier to just not use the dang automatic car washes? I mean, they've obviously pinpointed the problem, why not work on preventing the damage in the first place.
