Re: SCD in Taiwan 2009

I seem to recall Nissan was working on a self-healing paint that sounds similar to this. Sounds great, but the big question is...how much is an application going to cost if it ever makes it to California?

And, will it do anything to keep black plastic black?

And, if you need a car for your testing, mine could be available. It needs a polish job since I haven't done anything since working on the roof at your last clinic, and I'd love to experiment with letting the guys at the no-touch-except-when-we-dry-it-with-our-filthy-towels car wash do their worst to it.

Re: SCD in Taiwan 2009

Would something like this work for applying it? http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...30959+10401001
Also, do you really need a paint booth or could this be done in a garage or even outdoors provided you were able to keep airborne dust and dirt to a minimum?
This really looks perfect for me since it's not feasible to really wash my car over the winter but I obviously don't have access to a paint booth (or I'd be washing my car in it)

Re: SCD in Taiwan 2009

It would probably work and yes the problem of not having a booth is preventing contamination during the 20 minute process. Also you want to minimize exposure of the product to the environment---atleast that's our current assumption until we get further data. I'm not certain the products will be available to end users. Currently, it's being pitched to detailers and car dealerships as the ONLY true once a year "super" wax. They are also offering a one year warranty, but it will only apply to those that have had it professionally applied. Maybe enthusiasts who don't care for that might be able to get it. I'm not certain at this point.

We currently have inventory in California....but it's not for sale. As for the cost, it will be affordable and considerably less than any of the alternatives. I think we can safely say that it will be substantially below $500 for the professionally applied application including warranty.

Yes but of all the people I've talked to, very few have ever seen it. What's impressive about Nanoskin isn't so much that it heals in UV light, but that it immediately resists impacts and harsh chemicals found in things such as bird poo or egg yolk that no other product could resist, yet Nanoskin has no problem fending it off and preventing any ghosting, etching, and makes washing as easy as rinsing with water.

It's intended to be used over all components of the car...paint, plastic, chrome, glass, metal (wheels). You could Black Wow the trim to make it look its best and seal it with Nanoskin.

Nanoskin is intended to be the final process after everything else. You can polish and wax, then finish with Nanoskin or just polish and instead substitute your wax for Nanoskin which begins with their carnauba paste wax that's hand applied, and machine buffed to a gloss, then protected with the Nano Diamond Protective Shield.

Re: SCD in Taiwan 2009

I would be very interested in this as a consumer but suppose I could use my buddy who's technically a "dealership" to order it if need be. I could also convert my parents garage to a paintbooth using tarps, wet sheets and window fans if I absolutely had to.
