ThomasC said:Fast response here is what Collinite says 845 IS and ISN'T:
' The 845 Liquid Insulator wax basically contains solvent, silicone, #1 grade yellow carnuba wax, and two man made wax blends. It is a pure wax blend - does not contain or is a sealant-.'
The part in hyphens is as typed by Collinite, the answer is clear; 845 does contain both natural and synthetic WAXES but it does not contain a sealant and is not a sealant...
Proper Auto Care had a "chat night" and a rep from Collinite was online and it was stated that it is not a 100% wax but a polymer / wax blend.... The durability of this stuff far surpases any "pure wax" I have ever tried that is for sure
Sythetic wax.... Hmmmm, that sounds like what a sealant is to me... I think it is semantics.
ThomasC said:Which is what I thought, any product that was a semi sealant, for lack of a better description, would have been advertised as such..
Nope....
One example =
NXT Tech Wax = Not a wax but a sealant

akimel said:And we would need to know how Collinite defines "sealant" for their answer to mean much.
How do the folks here on Autopia define "sealant"? How is a "sealant" different from a man-made "wax"?
Real sealants crosslink.

Not exactly, It's part silicone oil as well.

I'm happy to go with this definition; but doesn't this exclude sealants like Klasse?
wannafbody said:Not exactly, It's part silicone oil as well.
How do you know?
Is it silicone oil or siloxane?
And why would this prevent cross-linking?
To my knowledge NXT cross-links.
Perhaps of interest are Optimum's Dr G's comments on cross-linking and non-cross-linking sealant protectants.
