Expert Analysis

Uses water-resistant polymers and enhanced resin technology to create a durable glossy finish. The oil-based formula includes components that help repel water and resist dirt accumulation. The alkaline pH of 8 suggests the inclusion of conditioning agents that enhance polymer adhesion to rubber and plastic surfaces.

Key Differentiators

  • Multi-surface compatibility for tires, rubber bumpers, and plastic trim
  • Water-resistant polymer technology for enhanced durability

Potential Concerns

  • Oil-based formula may attract dirt over time despite dirt-repelling claims
  • Wet-look finish may become slippery on tire sidewalls
