A vehicle surface treatment composition includes a colloidal inorganic oxide dispersion or a soluble silicate amenable to application to both porous and semi-porous vehicle hard surfaces to provide a multi-surface protective barrier that imparts water repellency and weathering protection properties to the vehicle finish. The composition provides a hard surface cleaning and forms a coating to the applied surface. The compositions provide treated surface properties that include keeping clean, scratch/mar defense, bug repellency, UV protection, and weathering defense. The compositions create treated surfaces that are highly smooth and lubricious which provide enhanced protection, while achieving a high luster finish with a streak free appearance. The composition is readily applied through resort to a conventional trigger spray application, propellant aerosol, or a sponge or cloth for wipe application onto the vehicle surface.

Vehicle ceramic surface treatment composition and process for use thereof

A composition is provided that restores and protects substrates to which it is applied including trim and tires on vehicles. The composition forms a high adhesion high cohesion film that protects the underlying substrate from the adverse effects of ultra violet (UV) rays, heat, rain, snow, and other environmental contaminants. A process of applying the same is also provided.

Trim restoration composition

A composition is provided for hard surface cleaning and odor removal. Performance characteristics such as high odor removal and hard surface cleaning performance are achieved using a zinc ricinoleate-based odor neutralizer coupled with a polymeric ester based hard surface cleaning agent. The composition may be formulated for use in a trigger bottle, aerosol, or wipe applications.

Odor removing composition comprising zinc ricinoleate and fluorosurfactant and methods of making thereof

A tire dressing composition is provided that includes petroleum distillates in which a polybutene or isobutene/butene copolymer is dissolved to form a clear solution. In the water-based approach, the polybutene or isobutene/butene copolymer was emulsified by a surfactant. A wetting agent is also present in the composition to render the composition self-levelling. The sprayable tire dressing composition provides a high gloss and good wettability to a tire surface that develops a uniform coating on the treated tire surface.

Tire dressing composition and methods of making thereof

A composition is provided for a non-aqueous foaming aerosol cleaner or lubricant. Foam builders, especially silicone glycol copolymers, are used to generate high density foam of the solvent-based formula. A cleaning product variant may be introduced via an air intake route for loosening deposits in an internal combustion engine. The high foam aerosol product dispenses easily without causing engine stalling. A process of lubricating a target substrate is also provided.
