Extreme Shield + Ceramic Tire Coating

silicone-basedceramic-coatingconsumer-gradeready-to-usedanger-labeldurable-finish

A consumer-grade silicone-based tire coating that claims patent-pending ceramic technology with SiO2 for dirt repellency and durability.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

7.3

Active Mechanism

silicone coating

Surfactants

0 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses decamethylcyclopentasiloxane as the primary silicone backbone at 10-25% concentration, combined with claimed SiO2 ceramic components to create a protective barrier. The formula dries in 30 minutes but requires 24 hours for full cure, suggesting cross-linking chemistry that builds durability over time.

Key Differentiators

  • Claims patent-pending ceramic technology integration with traditional silicone chemistry
  • 24-hour cure time indicates more durable cross-linking compared to typical instant tire dressings

Potential Concerns

  • Danger signal word indicates significant hazards during application requiring careful handling
  • Unknown pH and limited ingredient transparency despite good rating may concern users wanting full formulation details
