Just received the following from Flitz:

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your comments.
The word abrasive is a very broad term too since water itself is considered to be abrasive. However, you are absolutely correct in saying that our Flitz Premium Polish is non-abrasive. The government has allowed us to label our products non-abrasive because the amount of "abrasive" materials used in our products is very minimal whereas the product that you mentioned is known to be an abrasive polish because the amount of "abrasive" materials used is much higher. This being said, when an abrasive polish is used in the proper method and on the correct surface it can provide very good results. Simichrome is a fine product on aluminum & chrome , but you would not want to use it on your firearms, stainless steel, copper, etc. The Flitz Polish can be used on all of those surfaces and more. The full name of our polish is Flitz Metal, Plastic & Fiberglass Polish [and paint restorer too]. Would you use Simichrome on plastic, fiberglass or painted surfaces? I definitely would not.
I hope that I answered your question sufficiently.
Have a wonderful day,
Shari Jentzsch
