Best Value

$0.94/oz

A silicone-based tire dressing with near-neutral pH formulated to provide even coverage and quick drying on tire sidewalls.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

6.5

Active Mechanism

silicone coating

Surfactants

4 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses silicone as the primary active ingredient to create a protective layer on tire surfaces. The near-neutral pH of 6.5 minimizes potential reactions with tire compounds while nonionic surfactants help distribute the silicone evenly across the tire sidewall for consistent coverage.

Key Differentiators

  • Quick-drying formula reduces dust attraction compared to slower-drying alternatives
  • Near-neutral pH minimizes risk of tire degradation over time

Potential Concerns

  • Warning label indicates presence of chemicals requiring careful handling
  • Silicone-based formulas can attract dirt if not fully cured before driving
