I believe that bon ami has also been used for years for glass and metal cleaning for a variety of art forms.

Wetplate photographers including myself typically clean glass plates 
using some form of powdered calcium carbonate (whiting, rottenstone, 
etc.) mixed with grain alcohol.  I believe Bon Ami and other so-
called non-abrasive cleansers (Soft Scrub, etc.) utilize CaCO3 as the 
polishing agent.
