Expert Analysis

Uses dimethicone as the primary silicone lubricant and gloss agent, combined with anionic and nonionic surfactants for cleaning capability. The silicone component provides immediate gloss and slickness while offering temporary hydrophobic protection, allowing the product to clean light contamination and enhance shine in a single step.

Key Differentiators

  • Full ingredient disclosure with 10 listed components provides excellent transparency
  • Hybrid approach combining quick detailer cleaning with silicone sealant properties in one ready-to-use formula

Potential Concerns

  • Silicone-based protection is temporary and will require frequent reapplication compared to synthetic polymer sealants
  • May leave streaking or residue if not buffed properly, particularly in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces
