Hallelujah, the cure! Self-healing Nissans
Self-healing paint helps drivers out of a scrape
TOKYO:….Within a few hours of the damage occurring, the paint will start to re-form itself over the scratch, and by morning the mark should have disappeared. The Scratch Guard Coat comes courtesy of the car group Nissan, and will soon be making its debut on the notoriously narrow and scratch-prone roads of Japan. The Japanese company will be offering the special paint as an option on its X-Trail SUV….an extra 52,500 yen ($436 USD) on top of the standard price of the X-Trail, and its makers claim that it will continue to work for about three years.…more…
Rather than buying paint that lasts only 3-years (the average trade-in time in Japan), the smarter thing to do is never buy a black or dark color car which shows scratches and dirt like crazy. According to the Nissan press release of Dec. 2, 2005, the Scratch Guard Coat will soon be offered on all Nissan cars…just not black SUVs.
