Exclamation Lost and found! Win a $10.00 Gift Certificate!

Below are some hints to a mystery that needs solving. Be the first to figure out what it is im talking about (like my wife's been doing for over 20yrs), and I will credit you $10.00 towards your next purchase, excluding Black Friday orders or discounts.
Lost: Im minty, like money, but not usually envied by those who visit here. However, those who do envy me have me by the palm of their hand. My personality is a little rough on the edges, but Ive been know to hang out at a few bars late at night soaking up some conversations with the ladies.
"Some carnaubas offer the cheapest help," she said.
I replied with a simple "yHello".

Oh, by the way, my wife nearly figured it out!
Maybe the ante will increase as the day progresses and hints increase!!??

Way to go Dale!
Im minty, like money (Green)
Some carnaubas offer the cheapest help (SCOTCH, the Original manufacturer of it)
the palm of their hand. (Represents size)
little rough on the edges (Scouring?)
soaking up some (Sponge like)
yHello (And you though it was a typo, Yellow)

I took that pic several months ago while hitting my truck with the high pressure. I was going to do a little write up on it but never got around to it......lol till now.
