A silicone-based tire dressing that uses polyalkylsiloxane and functionalized silica to provide gloss enhancement with water-repellent properties.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
7.7
Active Mechanism
silicone polymer coating
Surfactants
1 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses polyalkylsiloxane as the primary gloss agent combined with functionalized silica particles to create a hybrid system that bonds to tire surfaces. The silica component provides the water-repellent characteristics while the silicone polymers deliver the darkening and gloss effects. The pH-neutral formulation with nonionic surfactants ensures compatibility with tire compounds while promoting even application and adhesion.
Key Differentiators
- •Hybrid silicone-silica system combining traditional tire shine with water-repellent technology
- •Functionalized silica particles that enhance bonding and reduce product sling-off
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Warning label indicates presence of hazardous components requiring careful handling
- ⚠Silicone-based formula may attract dirt over time, requiring more frequent cleaning
