Abstract
Abstract A paste-like composition for abrasively cleaning and polishing hard surfaces which comprises silica, stearic acid, mineral seal oil, and petroleum distillate. The composition can be applied with a cleaning cloth, buffing pad or the like which has been impregnated with it. When used to polish metals, wood, plastic, fiberglass, painted surfaces or the like, the composition gives a characteristically brilliant shine.

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
