Unknown

A silicone-based tire dressing with Si02 infusion that creates a protective barrier with a satin finish.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

9.3

Active Mechanism

silicone coating

Surfactants

0 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses dimethicone as the primary silicone active combined with Si02 ceramic components to form a durable polymer barrier on tire surfaces. The alkaline pH of 9.3 helps optimize the bonding of the silicone and ceramic components while nonionic surfactants ensure even distribution and penetration.

Key Differentiators

  • Si02 ceramic infusion combined with traditional silicone chemistry
  • Alkaline pH formulation optimized for enhanced durability
  • Produces satin finish rather than high-gloss appearance

Potential Concerns

  • Higher pH may require thorough rinsing to prevent residue buildup
  • Silicone-based formula may attract dirt over time if not properly maintained
