I only know this as brick polish as this is what we were told to ask for at the shop. I can remember doing our front step and bricks on the path up to the front door with it when I was a nipper. :)

Was that the polish which could change colour automatically as the surface colour changed? ;)

[Dog-eared]

No , scorrie, it was the doorstep polish that changed colour according to your life experience at that time - karma camellion.

Everyone sing along now ...........
