It seems too good to be true, but the responses are very positive:-)!

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.

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

Silcone comes from the Horta and other S-based lifeforms.
Look it up!

silicon and silicone are two different things.

Examples of silicons: Pyramid scams, penis enlargement pumps, George Bush and
the war in Iraq.

This is a refreshing thread. Thanks for the lift.

Polymers do not require carbon, although polymers based on carbon are
common. The learn the definition of "polymer" try:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/polymer

...Silicone is an element in the periodic table.

Silicone (note the "e") is a polymeric form of the _element_ silicon, in
combination with other elements, most notably oxygen. To get up to speed
on this try:

Digression: One way to understand the difference between silicone and
silicon is to hop on an airplane to Las Vegas. Once there, try to get a
date with a dancer from one of the casino hotels. Then try to get close to
her and snuggle up. When you're finished, strip naked and run out into the
Nevada desert. Then roll around in the sand.

Know the difference yet? Las Vegas dancers are usually equipped with
silicone implants that feel soft and cuddly. The desert is covered
with sand, chemically known as silicon dioxide. The desert doesn't feel
soft and cuddly.

It's been many years since I taught college chemistry, but it a little like
riding a bike, I guess.
