Re: [Chrysler300] Silicone Waxes. Bad stuff? Turtle Black Box System "Carnauba blend"???

[Terry Mctaggart <terrymct999@xxxxxxxxx>]

Terry McTaggart here.  I have in my dirty little hand here the Black Box "Carnauba Blend Wax" bottle.  All it says on the bottle is "Contains petroleum distillates."  So I don't know what the wax is blended with.

Hi all,

1.  We understand from more than 1 bodyman that one should not use waxes 
that have silicone in them.  Reason is (at least in part) body shops have 
real problems in painting these cars, especially when trying to blend in a 
spot area.  Seems that they cannot get out the silicone that has penetrated 
into the paint and silicone does bad things to new paint, like Armorall type 
products do.

TRUE?

2.  As we recall, Turtle was one of the first to go to silicone waxes.  Does 
anybody know if Turtle "Black Box" 3 step wax system contains any silicone? 
It is called a "Carnauba blend" wax - what ever that means.  Carnauba 
blended with what?  Mother's is pure Carnauba.  We've asked Turtle Wax 
customer service about this by phone only to be told that they don't know 
but they will have the government required Specs. sheet on their "Black Box" 
product e-mailed to us "right away" .

So far (you guessed it) no e-mail!

Thanks for anything that any of you might know on the subject.

Our Best,
Happy 300ing.
