Expert Analysis
Uses dimethyl siloxane as the primary active ingredient to create a glossy film on tire surfaces. The alkaline pH of 11.5 helps with application and spreading properties. The VOC-free formulation relies on methicone polymers rather than chemical solvents for shine enhancement.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration of dimethyl siloxane (20-25%) for enhanced gloss retention
- •Eco-friendly, VOC-free formulation without chemical solvents
- •Alkaline pH system optimized for silicone application
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High alkaline pH (11.5) requires careful handling and rinsing
- ⚠Silicone-based formula may attract dirt and require more frequent reapplication
- ⚠Warning label indicates potential skin or eye irritation from alkaline formulation
