Silicon free polishes?

Maybe it has other brand names, but I use Carlack (or PolyLack because
it has a sailplane on the label). Easy to use and silicone free as far
as I know.

Well Polylack seems to claim no silicon and Carlack does contains
silicone at least that is clearly warned on the AFE Online web site.
So if that is what you are worried about which one of the two you use
seems to be pretty significant. So back to the argument of is really
an issue or not?...

I use Mer 'Ultimate Car Polish', a UK product, on my airframe. Its MSDS
shows it to be non hazardous and doesn't list silicone, *but* their FAQ
says that their polish contains silicone and that all polishes contain it.

I also use Sparkle on my canopy. Its a US product and was apparently
developed during WW2 to clean B-29 canopies. I haven't found an MSDS but
they say the product contains only water, a mixture of glycols and a
purple tint.
