It's a white powder cleanser that comes in a "Comet"-like can, but it doesn't have the unpleasant smell and isn't harmful to your hands. It works great on removing the grease from the outside of skillets and works wonderfully on removing stains from my white porcelain sinks. You can find it in your local grocery store with other similar cleansers. I wouldn't suggest it on your decals, but would be great on your metal parts.
