Expert Analysis

The product relies on polydimethylsilicone as its primary active ingredient to create a slick, hydrophobic surface layer. At a near-neutral pH of 6.5, the formulation is gentle on surfaces while allowing the silicone polymers to properly bond and cross-link for durability and water-repelling performance.

Key Differentiators

  • Full ingredient transparency with all 11 components disclosed
  • Hawaiian punch fragrance distinguishes it from typical detailing spray scents

Potential Concerns

  • Silicone-based formulations may interfere with paint correction or coating applications if not properly removed
  • Cross-linking claims are difficult to verify with standard silicone chemistry at this pH level
