I recently got into tumbling and purchase a pile of grits and polishes, as kits. When they turned up, I realized I had bought an AO #1500 pre-polish, but only had an SnO polish. So I ordered some AO #14000 polish from the same supplier. When it turned up, it had the same creamy white appearance of the SnO, rather than the bright white appearance of the AO #1500. How can I check whether I’ve been supplied the right product? I thought maybe a flame test would work, but haven’t tried it yet. The single stack on left is the AO pre-Polish, the double stack in the middle is what arrived as AO Polish, yellow lid is the SnO Polish.

Flame test sounds like a good option.
If anyone knows another way that doesn't require expensive equipment I'd be interested in hearing it.
