Ceramic coating Carbon Collective Clear Coat Ceramic Lite (250 ml)

Carbon Collective Clear Coat Ceramic Lite

Carbon Collective Clear Coat Ceramic Lite is an exceptionally versatile ceramic coating that effectively bridges the gap between traditional ceramic coatings and quick sealants. This innovative formula is designed to deliver long-lasting hydrophobic protection and deep gloss on almost any surface of your vehicle. Whether you plan to treat paint, wheels, glass, or plastic trim, this single product delivers professional results with minimal effort.

Keeping a vehicle in perfect condition often requires a range of specialized products for different surfaces. This product, however, introduces a revolutionary approach: one bottle is enough to protect the entire exterior. Originally developed as an exclusive pre-sale protection for the world’s most luxurious cars—where instant enhancement of appearance and reliable protection were demanded—it forms an invisible yet highly durable barrier on gloss, matte, and satin finishes without altering their natural character. It works excellently not only on conventional paint but also on modern polyurethane films (PPF), vinyl wraps, carbon composites, and unpainted plastics.

The main advantage of this hybrid protection is its extreme hydrophobicity and dirt-repellent properties. Water immediately removes road grime and contaminants from the surface, significantly easing maintenance and minimizing the risk of scratches during washing. The coating shows high chemical resistance to aggressive cleaning agents, road salt, and bird droppings. With proper care, it can protect surfaces for up to twelve months or around eight thousand kilometers. It can be used as a standalone protection or as a rejuvenating layer over existing ceramic coatings, greatly extending their life and restoring their original hydrophobic properties.

Unlike standard ceramic protections that demand strict laboratory conditions, this product is user-friendly to apply. It can be safely applied outdoors in stable weather conditions out of direct sunlight. Thanks to its high coverage, the packaging is extremely economical—enough to treat up to twenty-five vehicles or to apply twenty-five layers. It’s an ideal choice for professional detailers seeking a quick and effective protection method, as well as enthusiasts who want top-tier care with results comparable to traditional ceramic coatings.

How to use

• Do not work in direct sunlight and ensure the surface is cool to the touch.
• Thoroughly wash the vehicle first with a quality car shampoo.
• Perform chemical decontamination of the paint to remove fallout rust and asphalt.
• If necessary, perform mechanical decontamination using clay.
• For detailed guidance on clay treatment see the article "Car waxing and its preparation".
• After clay treatment, rinse the car again and dry thoroughly.
• We recommend lightly polishing and degreasing the paint with Dodo Juice Lime Prime.
• Before application, put on protective rubber gloves.
• Apply the product using a microfiber applicator, ideally the Carbon Collective Speed Applicator.
• For initial saturation of the applicator use two full sprays, then one spray per panel is sufficient.
• Apply to individual panels in straight, overlapping lines and ensure even distribution.
• Wipe off excess product immediately (within 10 to 20 seconds) with a short-pile microfiber cloth.
• For maximum durability you can repeat the application and apply a second layer.
• Any streaks or residues can be easily removed by reapplying to the area and wiping immediately.
• Apply at temperatures above 5 °C in a well-ventilated area.
• When applying outdoors, choose calm weather and stand with your back to the wind so overspray doesn’t land on treated areas.
• If the product cures too quickly on large surfaces, divide the area into smaller sections.
• If the coating is difficult to buff off, you are probably applying too much product or not using a closed-loop towel.
• Maintain the coating with regular washing using a pH-neutral shampoo, for example Carbon Collective Lusso 2.0.
