Active Mechanism
silicone lubrication protection
Surfactants
1 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This ready-to-use formulation relies on specialized dimethyl siloxane compounds with ceramic-inspired chemistry to create a protective layer that enhances surface lubricity and water repellency. The mildly alkaline pH of 8 and nonionic surfactant system work together to ensure easy application and removal while depositing the silicone actives effectively across various automotive surfaces.
Key Differentiators
- •Ceramic-modified siloxane chemistry that bridges traditional silicone detailers with ceramic coating properties
- •All-weather application capability allowing use in both sunny and rainy conditions
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Silicone-based formulations may interfere with paint correction or coating application if not fully removed beforehand
- ⚠Weekly reapplication may be needed to maintain claimed hydrophobic performance, making it higher maintenance than longer-lasting ceramic coatings
