Yeah, if you google it, white spirit is mineral turps and turpentine is white fuck arragh whatever.
I used one of them and it kinda went cloudy white - like it's separating into layers. I wonder if that's something to do with the jar I used. Water maybe got it? Or does white spirit/turps do that? I've used one of them before and it separated into a clear layer and a cloudy white layer. Very annoying.

When I was a boy, white spirit was called "Turpentine substitute", although they are now technically different; white spirit is a turpentine substitute, but not all turpentine substitutes are white spirit.
White spirit is more volatile, so it should leave less residue to interfere with the bonding of your wax to the steel.
