Significance and Use
4.1 This practice is intended to define the properties to be tested, the apparatus to use, and the comparisons of product performance. It is recognized that considerable discretion exists among formulators and marketers of automotive polish on what properties or performance characteristics are most important for their products. This practice is flexible enough to honor this fact within the confines of the automotive polish definition.
4.2 The methods of this practice are subjective and empirical in order to conform to the basic practices of the industry and to allow flexibility in testing.
