When I called MinWax, I was told that their Paste Finishing Wax contains no silicone -- and the MSDS for it does *not* mention silicone.

UA100, missing his Dierberg's and Schnucks...
NO NO NO NO NO!
Automotive paste waxes frequently contain silicone, which *will* rub off on the wood and interfere with various types of wood finishes. To avoid finishing problems, you *must* use a silicone-free wax.

How come nobody ever mentions Trewax? I use it and have compared it to Johnsons. The Trewax seems to last longer. They claim (or at least they used to) that they have more carnuba wax than the others, thus making Trewax harder.
I think I bought mine at an Ace hardware last time, but it's been a while since I bought two cans then and have only a half can left.
These two statements are not mutually exclusive.

He didn't say that it contained silicone, he said that it contained "anti slip agents". In other words if you're going for a slippery surface it won't give you one.
Frequently but not always.
Silicone is not an "anti slip agent"...
meguiar's deep crystal paste wax does *not* contain silicone. it's also formulated a bit harder than furniture wax, which is a good thing for the table saw top.
And?
I don't know about Dierberg's, Schnucks, or Food Lion.
However, when I was a 'traveling man' I would pass any number of 'Piggly Wiggly stores. My wife thought I was making it up - until there was a national news item about a food recall {or something}in the southern states . . .

Wasn't that the store they looted in "Animal House"?
Mother's brand in the red can is pure carnuba wax for vehicles...

and.... I guess I need to pay more attention, and read what's really there instead of what I thought was there. Sorry. Never mind.

I contacted Meguiar's about their waxes back around the first of the year, and they would neither confirm NOR deny the presense of silicone, but DID rather explicitly say that THEIR wax products were NOT appropriate and NOT recommended for used on cast iron woodwooding products

No problem
Yeah, Doug. Get with the program.
