Wax
Thanks i googled it now. I found this:
http://chemistry.about.com/od/foodchemistryfaqs/f/carnauba-wax.htm
Seems to be pretty harmless
Ready the bottom of a can of carnauba wax , Its fatal if swallowed .........................
If you really want to make your own car wax to use on smooth surfaces by a can of carnauba car wax and tell the supplier that you have to have a MSDS sheet with the car wax.
They have to give or have a MSDS sheet of every chemical product in there store.....
Its a osha and a msha laws..........................................
By law ever chemical that is in used or sold or used in any business there has to be a MSDS sheet.
The sheet will break down every chemical used in that can of wax.
I use w41 yellow wax.
