Petroleum Distillates

Anyone know if Mequiars NXT has them? I just went out and looked all over the bottle and pkg and it doesn't have the ingredients listed anywhere.

It sure works good.

I have been using the Ice for a year on my whole car and the stripes look great. I ventured down that road a year ago because I didn't want to have to be too careful when waxing my car and oh sh!@? got some white wax on my stripes and they be ruined.

i recently had my car buffed and waxed...the guy went down the middle of the hood and left a noticable trail on the stripes...took some serious detail spraying and some hard rubbing to make it disappear
