Lets see, I have used Top Coat, Johnson's, Renaissance, Turtle wax, Minwax, Briewax (don't like the look of the dark finish ones - makes the top look tarnished :>), a couple of other car waxes - all worked well on my Joiner, planer, cabinet saw top and bandsaw. I really haven't had any problems with silicone causing fish eyes as I feel the amount left on the top and possibly transferred to the wood was completely removed during sanding and/or scraping. Maybe I'm just lucky - but I use whatever is handy - really can't say I saw any difference when using the equipment.
