Does anyone use or has tried JBS's Omega Dry product?

Omega dry is no different than many other dying agents.
It contains ethanol (reduces surface tension), amine salt (confers gloss and smoothness) and surfactant (proprietary).
So, Omega would improve sheeting (hydrophilic) and possibly bead-up (hydrophobic) of rinse water. You can’t say for sure though because surfactant is not identified.
Samurai contains “same ingredients” as omega dry except samurai contains siliconized wax (not established).
If its copolyol wax, it would improve sheeting effect. If it’s a combination of carnauba and copolyol wax, it would improve sheeting and bead-up.
So, omega will not work as well as samurai. It doesn’t contain any wax.

Hi Robert
Since not all of the chemicals are not considered hazmat they aren't required to list everything in them. You will on some msds sheets "propitory blend" which basically means it's a secret. The Omega Dry has a product in it called SQS, which similar to what you would find in Rain X or Samurai Shield, which gives you a more notable longer lasting shine as well as a dryer car.
Do you know what SQS is?

“Our newest high beading clear coat protectant. Omega Dry is a hybrid product that brings performance of a TVP (Total Vehicle Protectant) with the cost effectiveness of a clearcoat sealer.”
Note: “brings performance of TVP” but it is not a total body protectant product.
This comes from MSDS;
Product/Material Uses
DRYING AGENT FOR AUTOMATED CARWASH EQUIPMENT
High beading implies hydrophobic effect is stronger than hydrophilic effect of surfactant (proprietary) added to compound.
Ingredient doesn’t necessarily have to be hazmat to be included in MSDS.
For example, there are lots of MSDS where “water” is listed as ingredient (60 to 70 percent by weight). This is called full-disclosure MSDS.
Active ingredients must be included in MSDS. However, I found nothing on SQS in any of the literature.
Sounds like S.O.S. instead.
Please enlighten me. I'm all ears.

I’m not treading on JBS.
However, where’s the beef on how the mystical SQS transforms ordinary $0.10 drying agent into product that performs like $0.75 total body or double bond?
I found SQS listed as [(E,1R,2R)-2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)heptadec-3-enyl]ammonium is ligands or complexing agent used to form compounds.
Also found squalene synthase (SQS) which is an enzyme in cholesterol metabolism.
So, what is this SQS?
