preferably the weight percentage of water in the compositions of the present invention ranges from 60 to 70 all weight percentages illustrated above are based on the total weigh of the compositions of the present invention the polishing compositions of the present invention is made by the following steps 1 forming a water phase mixture a comprised of an antiseptic an ethylamine and water 2 forming an oil phase mixture b comprised of carnauba bees wax an oleic acid and an antioxidant 3 heating mixture a and mixture b to a temperature ranging from 65 u00b0 c to 85 u00b0 c respectively 4 mixing the said mixture a water phase and said mixture b oil phase with moderate stirring since mixture a and mixture b can be prepared separately the polishing compositions of the present invention can also be made by exchanging the sequence of the preparation of mixture a and mixture b in other words the polishing compositions of the present invention can be made by preparing mixture b first and then mixture a the purpose to heat mixture a and mixture b is to accelerate the saponification that occurs as mixture a and mixture b are mixed together the polishing compositions of the present invention are available for polishing after compositions are cooled the polishing compositions of the present invention for leather can be applied to any leather products to get a shining film on the surface of the leather they are adequate in particular for polishing shoes to obtain a shining surface more detailed examples are used.
