Formulation Notes
Silicone emulsion detailer for between-wash maintenance with light cleaning action.
Method: Combine water, glycerin, and surfactant. Add silicone emulsions sequentially with moderate stirring. Add preservative. Properties: pH 6.5–7.5, clear to slightly opalescent, viscosity water-thin. Aminofunctional silicones (aminopropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane) deposit more strongly onto polar surfaces (paint clear coat) than standard dimethicone, providing better durability for spray-and-wipe applications . The low APG content provides enough cleaning action to remove light dust and fingerprints without requiring a full wash.
