Polymer

Is using a polymer always better than using a wax?

The best truly carnuba wax is only 30% carnuba. Using a polymer is better on your time spent waxing, more durable, and more resistant to environment deposits.

Using a "wax" anymore these days means using a polymer. My buddy's dad works for a large consumer product manufacturer and they did a chemical analysis on all the major waxing products. Everyone came back with polymers in them.

Hey Moda,

Speaking of waxing and cleaning, did your dad get anywhere with that Group Buy on those towels he was talking about at the Chicago meet?

thats pretty misleading . . .

and very very vague . . . . .
waxes are filled with carnauba and then a bunch of additives to make things happen that the manufacturer wants to happen . .

if you think for one secont that the second ingredient behind carnauba is a polymer polishing compound or something similar 0 it aint . . generally its oils and such . .

besides, to call something a polymer and then assume it is the same as all the other ploymers is silly - as well . .how many different polymers do you think there are on the planet . . .

VAGUE???? If you'd like to do some analysis on your own and refute my claims, I BEG YOU TO!!!! Maybe you'll learn what I did... and it came as a shock to me too.

If you want vague, look at your "bunch of additives" and "generally its oils and such.." comments.

Please, if you're going to be a Zaino Distributor, at least have some idea of what a polymer is and the fact that they are everywhere.

Here's a few:
1. Polyisoprene
2. Nylon
3. Epoxy Resin
4. Polyethylene (silicones, SBS Rubber, rayon)

Now... would you like to see more or have I qualified my statement without vagueness?

He talked to a couple of people while I was out with him and to be honest, he didn't even mention it to me (I'm putting 2 and 2 together and making sense of why he was asking people about towels). I'll call him tonight and let you know.
