Ah, Mr Sheen! Is it made by Johnson Wax or Simonize? Can't remember, but I know how it works!
The main component is of course water. This is combined with a wax using a substance known as an emulsifier, so the wax is actually dispersed in the water as very fine droplets.
There is also a water soluble anti-static agent to help dissipate electrostatic charges which can build up on polished surfaces. This is what attracts the dust and fluff. Most of the 'dust' is actually human skin flakes, but that's another story.
The emulsion is sprayed from the can using a propellant. This is a low boiling point liquid such as the various chlorofluorocarbons or even flammable stuff like butane or isobutane. The propellant is often emulsified within the can so every drop of Mr Sheen has its share of propellant. This prevents the power being lost before the can is empty.
Mr Sheen works by wetting the particles of dust and fluff thanks to the surfactant which reduces the surface tension of the water. The wetted bits are then bound into larger lumps by the action of the wax, which begins to coagulate as the water evaporates under the action of the duster.
I find Mr Sheen a real boon. It will tackle just about any household and personal cleansing task. Anybody who's into contemplation of the navel will know how quickly it gets clogged up with fluffy detritus and the ever-present skin debris.
Here again, it's Mr Sheen to the rescue. A quick spray and dab with a soft tissue and the navel will be as good as new and nobody will know your sectret. Try it!
Cheers,
JaXanim
