Auto Care

Durable and easy cleaning products for automotive appearance needs.

The average age of vehicles on the road is on the rise. For drivers, that means a desire for rims and windows that continue to shine, and stain resistant seats and exteriors that retain that fresh-paint job look.

For you, that means automotive care and cleaning products that are durable, easy-to-use and less impactful on the environment without breaking the bank. Dow provides an array of performance-enhancing solutions for manufactures of products for automotive surfaces including waxes, polishes and vinyl protectants.

Auto Care

Keep vehicles performing and looking their best with durable, easy-to-use solutions for Dow’s range of Auto Care products. 

Dow's silicone-based innovations offer choices that allow manufacturers to differentiate their products by improving shine and durability while modifying water beading potential, sheeting effect and feel. Silicones offer a range of benefits for automotive surface products used in the institutional, body shop and retail markets. Silicones can improve several auto polish properties and the choice of silicone will depend on the relative importance of each property.

For more information on formulating automotive surface products by benefit or application, view the full selection guide.

Desired gloss

Gloss can indicate the quality of a coated surface and is measured “clarity of image,” or how well the finish shows the details of a reflected image. If a surface is uneven, it can distort the image. 

Durability and detergent resistance

Durability can range from temporary (a few weeks) to more long-lasting films that remain after numerous detergent washes or months. To the user, durability is typically judged by a polish ability to sustain water beading.  

Water repellency

Minimize dirt and dust from sticking to a vehicle and provide protection against chemicals and oils on the road.  

Ease of buffing

Buffing helps remove defects, such as small scratches, and creates a smoother, shiny finish.
