Carbon Collective Molecule 9H | Ceramic paint protection for up to 5 years (30 ml)

Paint protection for years, not just for a season

Are you looking for ceramic protection that not only protects the paintwork but also lasts for years without you having to worry about anything? Carbon Collective Molecule 9H is a SiO₂-based nano-ceramic coating with a 9H hardness rating, designed for long-term paint protection – it lasts up to 5 years, or up to 7 years when combined with Carbon Collective Nero.

What Molecule 9H offers

• Extreme 9H hardness – the paint becomes more resistant to minor scratches and micro-scratches from regular washing.
• High SiO₂ content – a strong barrier against chemicals, UV radiation, and bird droppings.
• Durability of up to 5 years (up to 7 years in combination with Nero) – apply it once and don't worry about it for a long time.
• Deep gloss and hydrophobic effect – water and dirt adhere less, making washing faster and gentler.
• Safe for gloss, matte, and satin finishes, as well as plastics and paint protection films (PPF).

Before you start applying

Degreasing the paint before applying ceramic is not a recommendation, but a necessary condition – any dirt or wax residue under the coating will be "baked" in permanently, and the ceramic will not adhere evenly. If the paint has not yet undergone proper decontamination, this is a mandatory step before application, not an optional extra. Have quality microfiber towels ready for application and buffing – they are gentle on both the coating and the paint. Just before the actual application, absolutely degrease the paint with Carbon Collective Panel Prep so that no traces of wax or polish are baked under the ceramic.

Carbon Collective Molecule 9H is the choice for anyone who wants to provide their paintwork with professional-grade long-term protection without having to go to a detailing studio – apply once, protect for years. You can extend the same protection philosophy to the entire car – Platinum Wheels will protect the wheels and Platinum Glass will protect the windows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Carbon Collective Molecule 9H ceramic protection last?
Standardly up to 5 years. If you combine it with Nero, the durability extends up to 7 years.

Is Molecule 9H also suitable for matte or satin paint?
Yes. The coating is safe for gloss, matte, and satin surfaces, as well as plastics and paint protection films (PPF).

How does a ceramic coating differ from a classic wax?
A SiO₂-based ceramic coating like Molecule 9H creates a harder and more durable layer than wax – while wax typically lasts for weeks to months, ceramic protection is designed to last for years.

Can I also use Molecule 9H on plastic parts or PPF film?
Yes, the coating is intended for plastics and paint protection films (PPF) as well, not just the painted bodywork surface.

Instructions for use

1. Wash the car thoroughly with a quality car shampoo and carry out decontamination (tar, fallout), or use a clay bar if necessary.
2. Let the surface dry completely, ideally polishing it beforehand so the paint is perfectly clean and free of wax residues before application.
3. Apply a few drops of the product to an applicator pad wrapped in a cloth and spread it using a cross-hatch motion – always work on a small area at a time (one panel).
4. Let the product haze for 2–3 minutes and then buff it off with a clean microfiber towel; change towels frequently during work (count on using 3–4 pieces for the whole car).
5. If you wish, you can apply a second layer after 3–4 hours.
6. After completion, ideally leave the car in a dry and warm place for 24 hours and wait at least two weeks before washing (rain after this period is no longer an issue).
