Question White Spirits

Hope someone can help me with this.
I'm trying to make museum wax using Brian Gilbert's formula which involves mixing the wax with white spirits but I don't know what the Australian version of white spirits is.
I thought it was methylated spirits but have since been told it is mineral turpentine .To add to the confusion I found some white spirits which is used for stain removal in dry cleaning.
I don't want to waste the wax that Brian kindly sent me so can anyone can tell me the name it is sold under in the land of Oz ?
