This video unveils Nissan's new 'self-cleaning car'.

Special nano-paint technology is claimed to repel dirt before it sticks on a vehicle's paintwork.

The Japanese car giant predict that their new-fangled paint could make the time-consuming and costly task of a car wash obsolete.

In a clip uploaded to YouTube half a Nissan Note is shown being sprayed with the sophisticated new paint job.

Then when it is subjected to everyday wear and tear, half of the car seems to repel the dirt as if by magic.

"Washing a car can be a chore - and a costly one at that," the company's description reads.

"In response, Nissan has begun tests on innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt, meaning drivers may never have to clean their car again".

But at an expected £450 for a coat of paint it doesn't like being the cheapest option in the short-term.
