Why don silicones based products work as well as FINAL FINISH?
Silicones were first introduced in a liquid polish for autos, planes and boats in the mid 1950’s. They were easy to apply, had a greater depth of shine and endured many times longer than waxes. However, silicone based products have significant drawbacks as well. Silicones penetrate into the pores of paint and eventually into the metal of the vehicle’s body As the silicones penetrate or drift further into the painted surfaces, they leave the surface exposed to elements just as waxes do when they melt or are washed off with a detergent. Depending upon the season, waxes will endure in the summer months for about 5 to 8 weeks whereas silicone will hold the protection for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending upon the quality of the silicone based product.
