Expert Analysis
Built around a high concentration (10-30%) of cetrimonium chloride, a cationic surfactant that provides both cleaning action and leaves behind a positively-charged protective film. The cationic nature allows it to bond electrostatically to negatively-charged paint surfaces, creating a conditioning effect that enhances existing ceramic coatings while depositing its own protective layer.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration cationic surfactant system that deposits protection while washing
- •Dual-function formula that can boost existing ceramic coatings or work as standalone protection
- •Full ingredient transparency with 14 disclosed components
