Improved wax compositions comprising certain hydrocarbon ester-containing organopolysiloxanes are disclosed. These compositions have improved shelf stability and excellent luster-bestowing properties, lubricating properties and water-repellent properties. They are useful in textile manufacture, such as treating sewing threads and textile warps, and for protecting surfaces, such as furniture surfaces and automobile surfaces.

A system is provided for touching up a chipped and scratched painted surface by applying a solvent solution to the surface, applying a selected touch-up paint, and removing a portion of the applied touch-up paint from the painted surface. The removing step includes applying a wax and solvent mixture (e.g., about 40% wax and about 60% naphtha) and then removing a residue of wax and paint by substantially immediately wiping the painted surface with a cloth. The solvent solution may include naphtha. The touch-up paint may have a tone substantially the same as the tone of the painted surface and is slightly darker than the painted surface. The touch-up paint may be prepared by selecting a first paint having the tone that is most similar within the set to the tone of the painted surface and adjusting the tone with a second paint having a tone that is in between the tone of the first selected touch-up paint and the tone of the painted surface, and adjusting the brightness with a third touch-up paint having a tone that is within a same third portion of the color wheel.

A novel non-wax superior gloss polishing compound formulation is disclosed. The polishing compound comprises:a) a water repelling and film forming acrylic resin;b) silicone fluids;c) finely divided abrasives;d) a hydrocarbon and alkanol solvent; ande) water, acrylic polymer emulsifer, preservation and fragrance.

A composition for treating a compact disc is disclosed and contains a urethane, a silicone, kerosene, at least one lower alcohol, and Stoddard solvent. A method for treating compact discs, such as those that are damaged, is also disclosed. The method includes the step of applying the composition of the present invention to a surface of the disc.
