Small things can make a big difference
When lots of free time and creativity meet you end up with this concoction: a miniature car wash. Don't be quick to judge, as it serves a noble cause.
Around 10,000 moving bristles spin at 180 rpm, allowing Nissan engineers at the brand’s Technical Center in Michigan test paint quality and durability.
The process is rather simple: one by one, paint samples are repeatedly washed (think of thousands of times) to test their car-wash resistance over time.
Now, as most gearheads out there are also car collectors – not referring to actual cars, but Lego builds or die-cast models – here’s one for you: would you trust Nissan’s miniature car wash with one of your precious models?
This Bugatti Veyron costs as much as a new Dacia Sandero. Well, of course, there’s a catch.
