Best Value

$0.62/oz

An alkaline silicone-based protectant that combines dimethicone with ceramic compounds to provide durable protection for vinyl, rubber, and tire surfaces.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

10.6

Active Mechanism

silicone film formation

Surfactants

0 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses dimethicone as the primary silicone active in an alkaline base (pH 10.6) to create a protective barrier on surfaces. The formulation incorporates ceramic compounds (SiO2) with polymer technology to enhance durability and repel water, chemicals, and environmental contaminants.

Key Differentiators

  • Ceramic-enhanced silicone formulation combines traditional dimethicone protection with SiO2 technology
  • High alkaline pH (10.6) differentiates it from typical neutral tire dressings

Potential Concerns

  • Alkaline pH may require careful application and thorough removal from adjacent painted surfaces
  • Silicone-based formula could create compatibility issues with subsequent coating applications
