An improved glass polishing composition that contains ceric oxide and a boron compound. A process for the preparation of this composition is also disclosed. The polishing composition has improved suspension properties while still maintaining a high polishing efficiency.

A tarnish remover/metal polish formulation comprising water, an acid, and metal iodide, such as potassium iodide, is described. The components of the formulation chemically react with the tarnish or stain on a metal surface, removing the tarnish or stain while leaving the metal unaffected. The tarnish remover/metal polish can be applied as a dip-rinse or as a polish. The composition is easily applied and easily removed.

A solvent-free heat meltable solid ink is provided which ensures printed images of good fastness without any deterioration of its coating properties and which comprises a rosin-type resin in an amount of not less than 10% by weight based on the total amount of the ink, and a coloring agent comprising carbon black and an oil-soluble dye. In one embodiment of the present invention, the oil-soluble dye is a metal complex dye.

A wax-free silicone containing furniture polish is prepared using 1) a low viscosity silicone fluid and a silicone gum; or 2) a low visosity silicone fluid and a polydiorganosiloxane; or 3) a low visocity silicone fluid, a silicone gum, and a polydiorganosiloxane together with water and one or more suitable surfactants.

Disclosed herein is a method for reducing the color of an emulsion of functionalized polyolefin wax by treating an emulsion with a water soluble oxidizing agent at a temperature above the freezing point and below the boiling point of the emulsion and below the softening point of the wax. Disclosed herein, also, is the essentially colorless emulsion produced according to the disclosed method which is useful as an additive to floor polishes and other coating products.

An auto finish-treating composition universally useful on paint, metal, vinyl and other plastic finishes comprises micronized wax dispersed in a water/organic solvent emulsion also containing silicone liquid emulsified in both the organic and aqueous phases.
