The thread on how often your plane gets washed got me thinking, what
brand of wax does everyone use?

Turtle Wax Carnauba wax, as it contains no silicones.


Are silicones bad? Why?

Silicones can bond to composites which is not a problem until you try to
repair it. Then you have a lot of extra work to ensure that your patch will
adhere.

Other than that, I am not aware of any problems with silicones for AC wax

I have been using a spray dry wash/wax. It does a good job of both, and
needs little buffing. After the new paint job I have scheduled, I may go
back to Mequiars.
