SiO2 Tyre Protection
One product, dialled to your finish
SC5 gives you full control over the result - dilute it pure for deep, rich colour and gloss, or cut it 1:3 with water for a clean, natural matte that suits any build. Either way you get a cured SiO2 layer that self-cleans, repels water and protects against UV, cracking and fading.
Why SC5
Built to last beyond the wash
Four reasons professional detailers reach for SC5 first.
-
Self-Cleaning SiO2 Barrier
Cures to a 5/5-rated repellent layer that sheds water and road grime long after application.
-
Adjustable Gloss Depth
Dilute from pure to 1:3 to land anywhere between deep gloss and clean matte - your call every time.
-
20-Minute Dry Time
Surface-dry in 20 minutes so you can move the car without risking splash marks or sling.
-
Multipurpose Formula
One bottle covers tyres, bumpers, exterior plastics, dashboards and engine bay components.

Fast, Versatile Application
Apply once, dry in 20 minutes
SC5's reduced surface tension means a single, even pass with an applicator is all it takes - no back-and-forth rubbing, no product waste. It works on dry or wet surfaces, so it fits straight into your wash process, and its multipurpose formula covers bumpers, plastics and engine bay trim in the same session.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply SC5 to tyres?
Apply SC5 directly to a clean tyre wall using a tyre applicator or folded microfibre. Spread evenly in one pass without rubbing - the reduced surface tension allows the product to level itself. Let it dry for 20 minutes before moving the vehicle.
Can I apply SC5 to wet tyres?
Yes. SC5's water-based formulation supports both dry and wet application, so you can apply it straight after rinsing without waiting for the tyre to fully dry. This makes it especially practical at the end of a wash session.
How do I control the gloss level?
Dilute SC5 with clean water anywhere from pure (maximum colour depth and gloss) through to a 1:3 ratio (SC5 to water) for a more natural, satin-matte finish. Mix in a separate applicator bottle or dressing pad before applying.
What surfaces can SC5 be used on besides tyres?
SC5 is safe to use on unpainted exterior plastics, bumpers, interior dashboards and engine bay components. Always test on a small, hidden area first on porous or textured trim to confirm the finish suits the surface.
How long does SC5 last on tyres?
Innovacar rates SC5 at 5/5 for duration. Once fully cured after 7 hours, the SiO2 layer is repellent and self-cleaning, resisting rain and UV across many kilometres. Actual longevity depends on driving frequency, road conditions and how thoroughly the surface was cleaned before application.
How much product do I need per application?
SC5 is economical to use. Innovacar's stated average consumption is 5-10 ml per single tyre and 20-30 ml for a full set of four tyres. At the pure dilution you will use slightly more; at 1:3 the 500 ml bottle covers significantly more applications.
Can I layer SC5 over existing tyre dressings or sealants?
For best results, decon and clean the tyre thoroughly to remove any silicone or oil-based dressing residue before applying SC5. Layering over incompatible dressings can prevent the SiO2 from bonding properly and will reduce durability.
Is SC5 safe on paint or wheels if it flicks off the tyre?
SC5 is water-based and pH neutral (pH 7), so minor overspray is unlikely to stain clear coat or alloy wheels. That said, it is formulated for rubber and plastic, so wipe any unintended contact from painted or coated surfaces before it dries.
