Carbon Collective Molecule & Nero Bundle | Ceramic protection set for up to 7 years

Paint protection for 7 years, not just one season

The Carbon Collective Molecule & Nero Bundle combines two layers of ceramic paint protection into one kit – the base nanoceramic Molecule 9H coating topped with the self-healing Nero, which is infused with diamond particles. On its own, Molecule lasts up to 5 years, but in this two-layer combination, the protection lasts up to 7 years.

What you'll find in the kit

• Carbon Collective Molecule 9H (30 ml) – a base nanoceramic layer with 9H hardness and a longevity of up to 5 years when used alone.
• Carbon Collective Nero (30 ml) – a top self-healing layer with diamond particles that can smooth out minor micro-scratches on its own and extends the durability up to 7 years.

Why this combination makes sense

Molecule 9H creates a hard base bond with the paint, while Nero is applied as a second top layer to add a more flexible, self-healing surface that can use heat to smooth out minor micro-scratches from regular washing. Together, they function as a two-layer system—a hard base plus a tough, self-repairing surface—which is why this pair lasts two years longer than Molecule alone.

Frequently asked questions

In what order are the two layers applied?
First, apply Molecule 9H as the base layer; Nero should only be applied as the top layer after the first one has cured.

Do I have to use both layers, or is one enough?
Both work individually (Molecule up to 5 years, Nero at least 5 years), but together they provide the longest possible protection—up to 7 years.

Does Nero's self-healing work even with the Molecule layer underneath?
Yes, the self-healing property works on the Nero surface layer regardless of what is underneath it.

Recommended application procedure

1. Wash the car, decontaminate it, and degrease the paint using Carbon Collective Panel Prep.
2. Apply Molecule 9H as the base layer according to the instructions on its product page.
3. Once dry, apply Nero as the top layer – the process is the same as for a standalone application.
4. Let the car cure for 24 hours in a dry and warm place, and wait at least 2 weeks before washing.
