Expert Analysis

The product combines traditional silicone chemistry (dimethicone) with ceramic components (SiO2 and silane polymers) to deliver both immediate gloss and extended protection. The mildly acidic pH of 4.7 helps optimize the ceramic bonding while the silicone provides instant shine and slickness.

Key Differentiators

  • Full ingredient disclosure with 16 components listed, providing transparency rare in quick detailers
  • Hybrid silicone-ceramic formulation that bridges traditional detailers with modern ceramic technology
  • Multi-purpose functionality as detailer, clay lubricant, and drying aid

Potential Concerns

  • Hazardous classification with 'Danger' signal word suggests handling precautions are necessary
  • Silicone base may cause issues with paint correction or coating applications if not properly removed
