Abstract
Abstract A non-homogenized oil-in-water, essentially wax free emulsion cleaner polisher composition that resists phase separation. The composition comprises from about 75 to 99% water, 0.5 to 12% film former, 0.1 to 5% nonionic emulsifier and 0.01 to 0.3% thickener. The composition may be dispensed from pump, trigger or squeeze sprayers. Various methods are also disclosed to formulate the composition.
