Examples of such preparations are :(1) Waxes and polishes consisting of waxes impregnated with spirits of turpentine or emulsified in an aqueous medium and frequently containing added colouring matter. (2) Metal polishes and polishes for glass consisting of very soft polishing materials such as chalk or kieselguhr in suspension in an emulsion of white spirit and liquid soap. (3) Metal, etc., polishing, finishing or fine-grinding products containing diamond powder or dust. (4) Scouring powders consisting of mixtures of very finely ground sand with sodium carbonate and soap. Scouring pastes are obtained by binding these powders with, for example, a solution of waxes in a lubricating mineral oil.
