Default Sealants ... Perplexing Thought

Ok late at night when I cannot sleep, I ponder something so ridiculous that off to the zzzzz's I go :

Why are most sealants sold in dark bottles, or what would be considered solid colored bottles. Is it marketing, does light effect the curing agents within them, some ingredient that likes absence of light, or is it just a coincidence ????

Zaino Z2 --- Opaque
Poorboys EX-P --- Opaque

(these two above appear to go against the grain of thought)

Zaino Z5 -- Dk Blue / Black Bottle
Klasse AIO-- Solid Red
Klasse SG -- Solid Silver
UPP -- Solid Silver
Blackfire -- Solid Black
Rejex -- Solid White
FMJ -- Solid White
Race Glaze -- Solid White
Wolfgang -- Solid Black

Anyone know the truth .... can I put this one to bed

Its probably no more complex that the fact that those bottles are the cheapest and most popular !?

Counting sheep works for me...but to each his own

Not sure, but now that you have asked, I'd kinda like to know too...

He ALWAYS returns my calls in a timely manner and IS a wealth of information. That man eat, breathes and sleeps car polish and is on an endless pursuit to keep improving his products. Seriously, call him if you want answers to whatever questions you have.
