You are probably referring to "Star-bore"?
White tubes, I still have some, it smells exactly like autosol. (Most usual polish compound here in europe, dunno if you have it over there mates?)
And I humbly suspect Starbore was "watered down" Autosol.
It does however polish down stainless despite claiming harmless on guns.
(And I suspect that is the reason it vanished)
Also have it "Semi-chromy" had a similar packaged product that not quite lived up to the user friendliness of "Star-bore"
But I'm half senile so you can't trust a word outta me mate
I tried most and the best I stumbled over is casey birchwood lead away and second vote on otis ultrabore (085?).
But seriously, Casey Birchwood Lead-away cloth!
If theres better I'd sure like in on it
