A composition for removing a substance from a surface is prepared by: forming a gelatinous base material comprising water and a rheology agent; forming a solvent; forming a neutralizing agent; combining the gelatinous base material and the solvent with microscopic crystalline particles and an agent which reduces the effective rubbing coefficient of the microscopic crystalline particles to form a non-neutralized composition; and combining the non-neutralized composition with the neutralizing agent to form the composition. Foreign substances can be removed from a finished surface and the visibility of superficial scratches in the finished surface can be reduced by gently rubbing the composition on the finished surface and then removing the composition. The composition includes microscopic (approximately 1 micron) crystalline particles which contact, dislodge and remove the foreign substance or minute portions of the finish. The composition includes PTFE powder and a gelatinous base material including a rheology agent, both of which act to control the rubbing coefficient of the microscopic particles, such that the desired substance removal is effected without destructive removal of the finish (e.g., scratching).
