Glass that makes water disappear before you even have time to turn on your wipers
Carbon Collective Platinum Glass is an SiO₂-based ceramic glass coating that activates a self-cleaning effect at speeds above 50 km/h – water practically flies off the windshield on its own, and you need your wipers much less. It lasts 6-8 months on the windshield and up to 24 months on side windows.
What Platinum Glass offers
-
Self-cleaning effect activation from just 50 km/h.
-
Chemical bond with the glass – it's not just a temporary surface film.
-
Durability of 6-8 months on the windshield (commonly up to 12 months in local conditions), and 12-24 months on side windows.
- Easier removal of dried-on insects, frost, and ice.
- Also suitable for polycarbonate, helmet visors, and other transparent plastics.
Before you start applying
Before application, the glass must be perfectly clean, degreased, and above all polished – just washing it is not enough. Microscopic water spots and residues of previous protection commonly remain on the glass; standard cleaning will not remove them, and the ceramic coating would not adhere to them evenly. The manufacturer recommends Carbon Collective Panel Prep or isopropyl alcohol, ideally after prior glass polishing, which reliably removes these deposits. Carbon Collective also offers the same ceramic protection for paint and wheels – you can find them in the ceramic protection section.
