Abstract:
An abrasive metal and fiberglass cleaning and polishing article comprising:a substrate presenting two opposed surfaces, and having an abrasive ingredient permanently forming a part of at least one said surface, said substrate presenting a matrix capable of absorbing and retaining other components therein; andan emulsion absorbed in the substrate and retained by said matrix, said emulsion comprising:5-40% by weight of an emulsifiable organic solvent capable of solubilizing greasy, oily soils and comprising one or more of an aliphatic liquid, a dibasic ester, vegetable oil, terpene, a glycol ether, a petroleum oil, an alcohol, a glycol, a furfuryl, a petroleum distillate, and a polyol;1-15% by weight of a surfactant characterized by the ability to form a water and oil emulsion with said solvent;1.1-24% by weight of an oxidation removing agent;0.5-10% by weight of an emulsifier; and15-70% by weight of water;whereby said substrate maintains its abrasive quality in the presence of said emulsion and an abrasive cleansing and polishing action is achieved by the combination of said emulsion and the abrasive ingredient on the surface of said substrate.
