There seem to be several conflicting answers here. Is this wax or silicon based?

Silicon, but the new walking belt I purchased says do not use silicon on this belt. So if you purchase a new walking belt--check to see if silicon is recommended!

This is the "waxed-based" lube that NordicTrack recommends. (That said, it sounds like it has silicone in it. That causes a lot of confusion.) On a phone call with NordicTrack today, they recommended lube part #219168 as a "wax based lubricant." To clarify the part numbers: Individual tube is #219167. Single tube in a bag #219168. Kit with 3-tubes and applicator is #219170.

Does not say it contains silicone, which would be a selling point if you ask me. It does say: no petroleum distillates, contains mineral oil, and liquefied petroleum gas. Other than that the container really doesn't reveal what they are using. Weird.

What metal piece? The only thing metal is the rim of the container holding the wax..?

It's an all in one polish/wax. Honestly, I wasn't impressed by this. I stick with either menzerna power lock sealer or mcguiers marine wax as the last step after polishing with menzerna FG400 or SF4500. I'm not crazy about chemical guys polishes and compounds.

No. Pure wax. For my money, the best wax out there (and way better/easier to use than their synthetic "Ultimate" polymer wax). Much easier to buff out.

I did a live chat this morning with support at Nordic Track and they gave me the part #219170 which is very close to the number you have. Support service says it's not silicone and they don't recommend silicone, but from other reviews it seems there is lots of confusion about this. Another place I read it is water based silicone. Don't know if that makes any difference. I am going to order the ICON product because it's what Nordic Track recommends. However their site would cost considerably more... $43.37

Hi Jen I didn't notice any silicon in oil, as silicon behaves in specific way on the skin. And in composition description is written 100%oil. I believe in it.

Paraffin is a synthetic wax made from petroleum. It is sold in blocks in grocery stores for sealing jars in home canning. Silicon is an element and is used extensively as a lubricant. The treadmill manufacturer recommends silicon lube. The stuff that comes with this product is a liquid about the viscosity of pancake syrup.the manufacturer's warranty does not cover lubricating with paraffin. There must be a reason.

The liquid you see is actually the silicon.The solids are the thickeners added to the silicone to make it less prone to migrate (stay in place).I use a clean toothpick or Q-tip to stir before I use it.

It's silicon. I contacted JAD Fitness directly through their "contact us" page on their website to ask this exact question. They got right back with me. See their response below...

I am not sure but it did not last long and peeled off - not suggested for a wax that will last

If you purchase from us, we supply a black wax pad from chemical guys. We also will ship this item out the same day if ordered from us!Thanks!

It melts very easily and will work well with molds. It seems like a lot of wax, but it doesn't go far. Also, I tried wax that came in a block and that is extrely difficult to melt. These chips work way better!

I do not see that picture, but regardless, this is the best wax product I have used. Microwave container for one minute, apply with a stick and then just peel off 10 seconds later.

I'm pretty sure it's silicon but it turned out they wouldn't ship to Hawaii so I never rfeceived the product.

It is soy wax. The brand i get is Golden Foods 464. It's 98% soy wax and 2% is additives.

It's a polish. Not a wax. Not a substitute for soap. You have to remove dirt and grime before or you could cause minor scratches. It wouldn't be the Polish fault though.
