Shoe polish consists of a waxy colloidal emulsion, a substance composed of a number of partially immiscible liquids and solids mixed together. It is usually made from ingredients including some or all of naphtha, lanolin, turpentine, wax (often Carnauba wax), gum arabic, ethylene glycol, and if required a colourant, such as carbon black or an azo dye (such as aniline yellow). It typically has a specific gravity of 0.8, is negligibly soluble in water, and is made of between 65 and 77% volatile—usually naphtha. The high amount of volatile substances means that the shoe polish will dry out and harden after application, while retaining its shine.

Naptha is commonly used in cleaning liquids for auto care..it really dosnt clean all that well in a cars combsution chamber..its cheap mans stuff..its rather related to mineral spirits, in the paint thinner section of a store..as well as terpentine..both are old school methods for breahing in and gettting hi.. without the negative contaminants, such as toluene, benzene, Xyline, maor ingriedents of gasoline..and highly toxic..
