The composition is comprised of montan wax, an emulsifier, silicone oil, amino silicones, finely-divided abrasive, water, volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid, and optionally, pigment. The improvement comprises using a volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid having an evaporation rate approximately three to five times faster than the evaporation of water. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An improved silicone-containing, oil-in-water emulsion, paste polish composition of the kind composed of montan wax, an emulsifier, silicone oil, amino silicones, finely-divided abrasive, water, a volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid, and optionally, pigment, wherein the improvement comprises utilizing in said composition about 10 to 25% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of water and about 30 to 75% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of a volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid where at least 60% by weight of said volatile hydrocarbon liquid is a volatile hydrocarbon having an evaporation rate three to five times faster than that of water. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) An improved paste polish as recited in claim 1, comprising: (A) about 10 to 25% by weight, based on the weight of all the ingredients, of water; (B) about 1 to 15% by weight of a montan wax; (C) about 0.2 to 5% by weight of a liquid silicone having a viscosity at 25.degree.

C. of about 8,000 to 12,000 centistokes; (D) about 4 to 8% by weight of an amino silicone liquid having a viscosity at 25.degree. C. of about 150 to 1,000 centistokes; (E) about 45 to 60% by weight of a volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid where at least 70% by weight, based on the weight of said volatile hydrocarbon liquid only, is a volatile hydrocarbon having an evaporation rate three to five times faster than that of water; (F) about 8 to 18% by weight of a finely-divided mild abrasive; (G) an emulsifier in an amount sufficient to facilitate the formation of an oil-in-water emulsion, as well as to provide said oil-in-water emulsion, paste polish composition with satisfactory storage stability; and (H) optionally, pigment, in an amount that does not affect the functional properties of the polish. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2, 3) An improved paste polish as recited in claims 2 or 3, wherein approximately at least 75% by weight, based on the weight of the montan wax only, of the montan wax has an acid number between about 90 to 160. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2, 3) An improved paste polish as recited in claims 2 or 3, wherein said volatile hydrocarbon liquid having an evaporation rate three to five times faster than that of water, is an aromatic controlled V.M.&P. Naphtha having a Boiling Range of about 100.degree. to 156.degree.
