Expert Analysis

The product relies on dimethicone as its primary active ingredient to provide lubrication during wiping and leave behind a glossy film. The slightly acidic pH (4.04) helps with cleaning effectiveness while remaining gentle on protective coatings, and nonionic surfactants assist with dirt removal and product spreading.

Key Differentiators

  • Full ingredient disclosure with excellent transparency (11 disclosed components)
  • Anti-static formulation specifically designed to reduce dust attraction by up to 75%

Potential Concerns

  • Silicone-based formula may create buildup over time with repeated applications
  • Dimethicone residue could potentially interfere with future coating applications if not properly removed
