Carbon Collective Nero Self-Healing Ceramic Coating (30 ml)

Carbon Collective Nero Self-Healing Ceramic Coating

This advanced self-healing ceramic coating represents top-level protection for painted, plastic and vinyl surfaces of your car. Thanks to unique diamond-particle technology it delivers extreme hydrophobic properties, deep gloss and the ability to regenerate minor scratches. It offers a long-term barrier against environmental effects, chemicals and UV radiation.

This technologically advanced coating brings a revolution in exterior care thanks to its self-healing ability. The formula, rich in active silica (SiO2), is enhanced with microscopic diamond particles that create an extremely durable yet flexible protective layer on the surface. If fine hairline scratches or circular marks occur from everyday use and washing, they can be removed by applying heat. Simply pour hot water over the surface or let it warm in direct sunlight and the paint damage will self-seal. This significantly extends the flawless appearance of the bodywork without the need for frequent mechanical polishing.

The product’s versatility allows safe application on a wide range of surfaces, including conventional paint, protective polyurethane films (PPF), vinyl wraps, unpainted plastics or powder-coated parts. It works excellently on glossy as well as matte or satin finishes, enhancing their natural texture and depth without unwanted artificial shine. Once cured it creates a highly hydrophobic layer with a water contact angle of 110 degrees, ensuring perfect water beading and minimizing dirt adhesion. The paint is thus protected from aggressive bird droppings, road salt, UV radiation and strong chemicals for up to five years.

For demanding users who require maximum resistance, this product allows layering. It can be used alone or as a final topcoat over the Carbon Collective Molecule ceramic coating. This combination increases hardness, scratch resistance and extends the overall lifespan of the protection up to seven years. Although it delivers professional results and exceptional durability, its application is designed to be as simple and hassle-free as possible even for advanced enthusiasts. It greatly eases subsequent vehicle maintenance since dirt does not cling to the surface and normal washing then requires only a quality pH-neutral shampoo.

How to use

• Never work in direct sunlight and make sure the surface is cool to the touch.
• First, thoroughly wash the vehicle with a quality car shampoo.
• Perform chemical decontamination of the paint to remove fallout rust and tar.
• If needed, perform mechanical decontamination using clay.
• Detailed preparation steps can be found in the article Voskování auta a jeho příprava.
• After completing decontamination rinse or wash the car again and dry thoroughly.
• Lightly polish the paint and degrease it with Dodo Juice Lime Prime to perfectly prepare the surface for protection.
• Before application put on protective rubber gloves.
• Before first use we recommend washing the applicator cloth to avoid releasing fine fibers.
• Apply an appropriate amount of product onto an applicator block wrapped in an applicator cloth.
• Spread the coating on the vehicle surface using cross-hatch motions.
• Work on smaller sections, for example individual panels or parts of the hood.
• Allow the coating to flash for 2 to 3 minutes, then buff it off with a clean short-pile microfiber cloth.
• Change cloths frequently during buffing; for a whole car we recommend using about 4 clean dry cloths.
• For maximum durability you may apply a second layer after 3 to 4 hours.
• After application ideally leave the vehicle for 24 hours in a dry, warm environment to allow the coating to fully cure.
• For two weeks after application do not wash the car with shampoo; ordinary rain does not harm the coating.
• For subsequent maintenance use gentle shampoos, ideally Carbon Collective Lusso 2.0.
