You're right. Thanks for pointing out that I didn't make myself clear. I wasn't refering to silicone being in bees wax. I don't know if bees wax has silicone in it or not. I was refering to auto polishes and waxes. However the fix for fisheyes was (still is???) silicone (fisheye eliminator) added to the paint. It is far better to clean the surface to be painted than to use fisheye eliminator since it leaves a somewhat orangepeal finish when it is used.
