Silicones vs. Waterbased Products

[Wasatch]

So I always here silicone products are bad for tires, dash, rubber, etc..... and waterbased products are better. Why? Or are they really. Would like to hear the pro`s and con`s of each.

There was a recent thread all about this...I`ll see if I can find it.



EDIT: Sorry, there were two:

There are different kinds of silicone, some are water base. Almost all car waxes and protectents have some sort of silicone in them.
