Earlier this year, car manufacturer Nissan revealed an innovative self-cleaning paint that repels dirt. According to experts, this type of super-hydrophobic coating will be available to superyachts within two years and is already in the research and development stage at many paint companies.
Jonathan Broughton of Yacht Surface Restoration explained, “This product is still very new and will need time and development before coming into the mainstream. Still, a lot has been accomplished in a short amount of time. I expect that we will see something viable for the marine industry in the next couple of years.”
