Nano Glass Coatings for Auto Windscreens

07/03/2012 5:16 AM

Many windscreen manufactruing companies I belive are using nano glass technology.

Would this nano coated glass prevent self adhesive stickers from adhearing to the inside of the window?

Why would you believe such things?

There are some glass coatings that use nanotechnology. Is that what you're talking about?

No, otherwise you would not be able to get your car inspected in those few states that still require yearly auto inspections and the state inspection sticker on your windscreen.

Hoever, I'll bet the nano coatings will cause cancer in California, so you might want to put off driving in that state.

Is the coating that you are refering to similar to the new ketchup bottle coating? www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-mit-prof-creates-major-ketchup-bottle-upgrade-20120524,0,2644692.story

It would seem to make windshield wipers obsolete.

Sure! Marketer will assert anything, to make us suckers buy what they proffer. If you are willing to believe, that is.
