Best Value

$0.57/oz

A silicone-based tire shine spray that combines dimethicone with graphene and acrylic polymer additives for extended durability on tire sidewalls.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

5.0

Active Mechanism

silicone coating

Surfactants

4 (anionic, nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses dimethicone as the primary film-forming agent with graphene and acrylic polymers added to enhance durability and adhesion. The mildly acidic pH of 5.0 helps stabilize the silicone emulsion while dual surfactant systems ensure even application and penetration. The biodegradable formulation balances performance with environmental considerations.

Key Differentiators

  • Incorporates graphene additives alongside traditional silicone chemistry for enhanced film properties
  • Biodegradable formulation with excellent ingredient transparency (36 disclosed components)

Potential Concerns

  • High-gloss finish shows dirt, dust, and water spots more readily than satin alternatives
  • Silicone-based formula attracts dirt and debris over time, requiring more frequent cleaning
