Carbon Collective Speciale SiO2 Ceramic Detailer (5 l)

Carbon Collective Speciale SiO2 Ceramic Detailer

Carbon Collective Speciale SiO2 Ceramic Detailer is a premium product for quick paint maintenance that perfectly combines the ease of a quick detailer with the durability and high gloss of a liquid sealant. With an innovative formula enriched with active silicon dioxide (SiO2), it delivers instant hydrophobic protection and a deep mirror‑like shine. It is ideal both for regular upkeep of existing ceramic coatings and as a standalone protection for previously untreated exterior surfaces.

This advanced ceramic detailer features an improved formula containing five times the concentration of active silica compared to the previous version. Thanks to this technological upgrade it offers protective qualities approaching full‑strength sealants while retaining an extremely easy "spray and wipe" application. After application it creates a perfectly smooth, slippery and highly hydrophobic barrier that repels water, road contaminants and minimises limescale buildup. The resulting effect makes subsequent washing much easier because dirt no longer adheres as firmly to the paint.

One of the greatest strengths of this product is its exceptional versatility. It can be used on both dry and wet surfaces immediately after washing, where it acts as an effective drying aid to prevent hard water spots. The detailer is built on the same SiO2 base used in the brand’s premium ceramic coatings, ensuring full compatibility. When applied over an existing ceramic coating or wax it restores hydrophobic properties, promotes water runoff and significantly extends the life of the underlying protective layer. It also works excellently as a standalone protection on untreated cars, where it withstands the challenges of everyday use.

The product is designed to be safe for a wide range of exterior surfaces. You can apply it without concern to painted panels in glossy, matte or satin finishes, as well as to glass, exterior plastics, metals and powder‑coated wheels. When used in appropriate amounts it does not leave streaks or an oily film; instead it deepens colour saturation and gives the paint exceptional clarity and gloss. A single application can provide reliable protection for up to 4 months under normal daily use. For maximum effect and even coverage, applying two layers is recommended to form an impenetrable shield against external influences.
