A ready-to-use tire shine with nonionic surfactants that delivers a glossy black finish and claims long-lasting protection against fading.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
6.0
Active Mechanism
surfactant wetting
Surfactants
2 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This silicone-based tire shine employs a dual ethoxylated alcohol surfactant system for enhanced wetting and spreading on rubber surfaces. The proprietary siloxane provides the primary lubricity and gloss enhancement, while polyol solvents aid in formulation stability.
Key Differentiators
- •Near-neutral pH 6.04 formulation reduces risk of tire degradation compared to more alkaline competitors
- •Claims fade-resistant protection suggesting UV-blocking or polymer technology beyond basic silicone oils
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Unknown active chemistry makes it difficult to predict performance longevity and compatibility with specific tire compounds
- ⚠Warning signal word indicates potential slip hazards or inhalation risks during application
