No, "polymer" is a generic term including molecules of at least 100 carbons.
Silicone is an element in the periodic table.

Anyone know if polymer and silicone are the same thing?

I did a fast search on Google, didn't find the answer. I'll go back and
read more.

I'm suspicious though. I sure would find out if I was going to use it.
The shelves are full of things make your dull finish shine that
contain silicone.

As always, I reserve the right to be wrong.

It says in the post below and I quote:

"Poli Glow is a water based acrylic polymer "

According to you that's the same as silicone??
