<HTML>You can still buy Simonize Paste Wax . Simonize came out in 1910. It was the only way to protect the then varnish that was used on cars back then. When you had to clean and polish you used a product called Rottenstone. It was a gray powder that you mixed with water , and rubbed it on the paint with a felt pad. When lacquer came out in 1924 the first polish for that paint was Dupont #by Lawrence Albrecht - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Simonize Vista is no longer made. And for Bud New Car #7 is Dupont New Car Wax , which was a very good product in its day. Dupont also made a cleaner polish which was called #7.

<HTML>Klasse claims to be different because they say that they are a Acrylic. Zano, Wolfgang, Poorboys and others are Silicone Polymers, as is Diamond Plus. My question was the difference if any. Are they more or less the same? Would adding Acrylic Polymers to Silicone Polymers make a better product? Would it be to expensive? Or is Acrylic Polymers just a different silicone polymer . As farby Lawrence Albrecht - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Some sealants claim to contain Acrylic polymers, some sealants are made of Amino-Fuctional Silicone polymers.My question is what is the difference and why would a chemist choose one over the other? Since this board has more experts on it then any other web site , I would think that the answer would come from here.</HTML>by Lawrence Albrecht - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Lets face it , it all depends on how well the car wash takes care of their equipment. The bigger car washes take better care than the smaller ones. In my area that would be Turtle Wax,Fullers and Delta Sonic. Ive seen cars done at these places , and years later they still look good . Ive also seen cars done at other places and even the glass was scratched. So automatic car washes areby Lawrence Albrecht - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>I would say that 99% of car protecting products contain silicone. Silicone makes wax easier to use ,gives a better shine , lasts longer, makes rubber and vinyl look better. Modern silicone is a good thing. Silicone was first put in car polish in 1947. The first car polish with silicone was called Autobrite.</HTML>by Lawrence Albrecht - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Im guessing of course, but I think that Buds test on bare metal simply means that a wax or sealant that can keep bare metal from rusting is better than a wax or sealant that cant. Some did and some didnt, in Buds point of view the ones that did are better. Keep in mind that the old Simonize Paste wax of years ago would not keep 1950s chrome from rusting. We all know that no wax or seby Lawrence Albrecht - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>If you drive 40 mph and the water beads blow off the hood you have wax protection. If you drive 41 mph and the water beads do not blow off the hood wax protection in gone. My point is everbody has a opinion. I would think that if you want slickness and beading use a Q.D. after every wash . I use Q.D. all the time and in rain my car beads all the time.
