A silicone-based ceramic trim restorer that uses dimethicone to create hydrophobic protection on plastic trim, rubber seals, and tires.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

8.9

Active Mechanism

silicone film formation

Surfactants

0 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

This product combines traditional dimethicone silicone technology with ceramic SiO2 infusion to create a hybrid protective system. The alkaline pH of 8.9 helps with cleaning and preparation, while the silicone polymers provide immediate gloss and protection. The ceramic components aim to enhance durability and create a more structured protective layer than standard silicone dressings.

Key Differentiators

  • High alkaline pH formulation optimizes silicone bonding and durability
  • Multi-surface compatibility spanning plastic trim, rubber components, and tires in one product

Potential Concerns

  • Alkaline pH may require careful application on sensitive surfaces
  • Silicone-based formula could interfere with future paint or coating adhesion
