Take this anecdotal information for what it is worth.  When I
started using Brillianize 30 years ago, I was told that the it left
a coating of wax on the Plexiglas as an antistatic agent.  Over
years of use I have had no reason to question this bit of
information because it acted like wax, making the surface more
glossy and somewhat slicker when buffed with the appropriate cloth.
In addition, lit was easy to remove for some time.  If I put it on
too thinly, it left visible spots; these went away if I reapplied
with more liquid.  I have never analyzed Brillianize.  For that
information I would contact CCI (613-998-3721) to see if they have
done an analysis of Brillianize.
