    Per Meguiar's ColorX (G118) MSDS:

    -Kaolin...CAS#1332-58-7
    Synonyms: Aluminum Silicate; Kaolinite; Aluminum Oxide;
    Silicon Dioxide; Calcined Kaolin

    -Hydrtreated Distillates..........CAS#64742-46-7
    -Isoparaffinic Hydrocarbons...CAS#64742-48-9


    •Uses for the above components are easily googled by using their CAS#s, if so desired.
    •Many products have abrasives that are "silicate" by nature.

    -It's the di-oxide of the chemical element Silicon.
    -Symbol: SiO2
    -Naturally occurs (and rather abundantly) in:
    sandstone, sand, and quartz.

    Thanks, Bob! In layman terms, I interpret (without looking for definitions), that there is both abrasive, and chemical cleaning agents in colorx.

    The old wikipedia will tell you more than you will ever want to know about it. It is used as an abrasive.
