I wonder if there is a scale of abrasiveness?

I'd guess it goes something like this, least abrasive at the bottom

Toothpaste
Hob Brite hob cleaner
Duraglit wadding
Brasso Metal polish
Car wax polish
T- cut
Jif (ok...Cif)
Fine wire wool
Ajax

Anyone like to add or re-order the list?

A car wax may or may not have an abrasive added.
