All-in-one polish dispenser and wiper

A hand-held device for cleaning and polishing a surface, the device comprising:

• a) a container having an interior volume defined by a bottom, at least one wall extending from the bottom, and a top opposite the bottom connected to the at least one wall, and a solution outlet formed in the top and in fluid communication with the interior volume, wherein the container is configured such that solution may only be loaded into the interior volume through the solution outlet;
• b) a handle having a rearward end and a forward end and a hollow portion defined between the rearward end and the forward end and wherein the hollow portion is adapted to receive the container in a removable manner;
• c) a dispensing mechanism disposed within the handle between the vessel and the forward end, the dispensing mechanism including a solution inlet adjacent the rearward end and in fluid communication with the solution outlet of the container, a rotatable valve connected to the solution inlet, a first solution outlet disposed adjacent the forward end and connected to the rotatable valve, and a second solution outlet disposed adjacent the forward end spaced from the first solution outlet and connected to the rotatable valve;
• and
• d) a solution application member secured to the forward end of the handle and in fluid communication with the first solution outlet.

An apparatus for applying a solution to a work surface, comprising:

• a work member having a generally hollow body defined by a cartridge receiving end and an work end, wherein the work end includes a nozzle outlet configured to provide a spray of the solution and an applicator pad configured to have at a portion that is dampened by the solution;
• a valve movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the valve allows the delivery of solution to the nozzle outlet when in the first position and allows the delivery of solution to the applicator pad when in the second position;
• an actuator assembly configured to allow the delivery of solution to the valve;
• a first conduit extending within the hollow body from the cartridge receiving end to an inlet of the actuator assembly;
• a second conduit extending from an outlet of the actuator assembly to an inlet of the valve;
• a third conduit extending between a first outlet of the valve and the nozzle outlet;
• a fourth conduit extending between a second outlet of the valve and the applicator pad;
• and
• a replaceable cartridge containing the solution and adapted to be loaded into the work member at the cartridge receiving end.
