Abstract: A magnetic apparatus for locating hidden ferrous fasteners includes a holder of a preselected non-ferromagnetic material having a base member and at least one wall member of a first predetermined height. The wall member being fixed substantially normal to the base member and has a perimeter about 30 to 70% of a perimeter of the base member. The apparatus further includes a cylindrical magnet of preselected type having a predetermined diameter and a second predetermined height and having sufficient strength to pull itself to such hidden ferrous fastener across a separation distance of at least ½-inch.

Abstract: A polishing lace comprising a roll of thin fabric having a central axis and a free end. The roll of thin fabric is impregnated with a cleaning and disinfecting compound. A thin object, such as the spoke of a wheel of a motor vehicle is cleaned by forming at least one loop around the spoke and pulling the ends of the impregnated ribbon back and forth to clean and polish the spoke. Preferably a second not impregnated fabric take is utilized to remove any polish residue from the spoke. A container holding a roll of the polishing lace has a scissors portion for cutting off a length of tape from the roll.
