A media-bearing polisher and restorer removes surface and subsurface contaminants from a vehicle, household or other surface. The media-bearing polisher and restorer comprises an ovoid body with a planar bottom. The body comprises a resilient or rigid material and one or more flutes for receiving one or more user fingers. A permeable elastic medium is removably attached to the planar bottom of the body, which absorbs and extracts contaminants from the surface. A variety of media can be used with the media-bearing polisher and restorer.

Example implementations relate to a non-motorized vacuum sanding tool comprising a base plate having a central hub, and a vacuum attachment member having a first end configured for attachment to a vacuum source and a second end configured to rotate around the central hub. The upper surface of the base plate includes a raised lip extending around the central hub and serving as a handle for the sanding tool.

A cleaning and drying device utilizing removably attached material that includes a material plate, two material retaining clips, and a handle or hand grip. The two clips are hingedly attached to the plate. When upward pressure is applied, the clips pivot upward from a center point, thereby upwardly-extending an outer edge of each clip. An edge of a material is then inserted between each clip's outer edge and the material plate. When pressure is removed, the two clips are released downward, thereby forcing the material into a channel and trapping the material between clamping member sand the channel, and the clips and the plate. Once the material is secured, the device can be used to clean or dry a surface. After cleaning or drying, the material is removed and a new material is attached. The material can be any fabric/cloth including rags, old clothing, towels or any other material, thereby precluding the requirement to use special pads or other proprietary materials.

A hand-held sanding block used by a hand of a user, replaceably holds sheet sandpaper, prevents the sheet sandpaper held therein from unintentional removal therefrom during use, and does not collapse under heavy pressure from the hand of the user during use. The hand-held sanding block includes a body. The body is used by the hand of the user, replaceably holds the sheet sandpaper, prevents the sheet sandpaper held therein from unintentional removal therefrom during use, and does not collapse under the heavy pressure from the hand of the user during use.

An adjustable sanding block that allows for expedited interchanging of sandpaper belts by removing a lateral tension on the belt and reducing the length of the sanding block. A spring loaded heel and a block make up the sanding block, forming a coplanar relationship with opposed inner ends. A rod and spring on the block create a lateral tension against a recess in the heel that retains the belt on the sanding block. The rod and the spring extend from a block inner end, engaging a recess in the heel. The rod passes through the recess, while the spring, having a larger circumference, compresses against a periphery of the recess. This compressive force creates an outward lateral force, which creates lateral tension on the belt for retaining the belt on the sanding block. Applying an inward pressure on the heel removes this tension for mounting and removing the belt.

The two clips are hingedly attached to the plate. When upward pressure is applied, the clips pivot upward from a center point, thereby upwardly-extending an outer edge of each clip. An edge of a material is then inserted between each clip's outer edge and the material plate.

The material can be any fabric/cloth including rags, old clothing, towels or any other material, thereby precluding the requirement to use special pads or other proprietary materials.

The sander includes a sanding part having a planar sheet placement surface on which a sanding sheet can be set, and a clamping mechanism configured to hold the sanding sheet on the sanding part. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping part configured to hold the sanding sheet and to be slid in a direction parallel to the sheet placement surface between a closed position to hold the sanding sheet and an open position to allow removal of the sanding sheet, an elastic element that applies a biasing force of biasing the clamping part toward the closed position, in a direction parallel to the sheet placement surface, and a holding mechanism configured to hold the clamping part in the open position against the biasing force. The clamping part is allowed to hold the sanding sheet when the holding mechanism is released from holding the clamping part in the open position.

A cleaning apparatus, including a body; a tip connected to a first end of the body, the tip including a support extending in a direction away from the body; a polishing member including a first surface including a polishing surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; and a fixer to adhere and fix the polishing member to the support so that the polishing surface is brought in contact with a cleaning target surface.

A sanding device includes a base, a plurality of protrusions extending from the base, a plurality of fasteners, a first one of the fasteners extending through the base, a clamping mechanism having openings through which the protrusions and the first one of the fasteners extend, and a spring arranged over the first one of the fasteners, between the base and the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is releasably fixed in contact with the base in a first state and the clamping mechanism is spaced from the base in a second state while retained with respect to the base by at least a pair of the plurality of protrusions extending from the base to substantially prevent axial rotation of the clamping mechanism.

A wall sanding apparatus includes a plate having a top side, a bottom side, a front edge and a rear edge. An abrasive element for sanding joint compound has an upper surface that is removably attached to the bottom side and has lower surface comprising an abrasive surface. The abrasive element has a forward edge and a rearward edge respectively corresponding to the front edge and rear edge of the plate. The forward edge is adjacent to the front edge and is angled outwardly away and downwardly from the plate such that the forward edge extends forwardly of the front edge. An acute angle is formed at a juncture of the forward edge and the lower surface that is less than 75 and defines an angled edge for sanding corners of wall abutting each other to form angles of less than 180.
