OK Bill, I went to the Bon Ami web page and learned that they sell two kinds
of cleaning powders:
Bon Ami "Cleaning Powder", made to the original 1886 formula, consisting of
feldspar and soap.
and
Bon Ami "Cleanser", containing feldspar and calcite.
So which of these is the preferred blend for automotive use?
