An automobile wash and wax composition suitable for simultaneously washing and waxing a soiled exterior surface of a vehicle without buffing. The automotive wash and wax composition being an aqueous emulsion containing an anionic surfactant, a silicone oil, an amino-functional silicone, a wax, and a cationic emulsifier. The wash and wax composition is applied to a pre-wetted exterior surface of a vehicle so as to substantially coat the surface of the vehicle that requires cleaning and polishing. After the coated surface has substantially dried, the surface is washed with a sufficient quantity of water to rinse away the soil particles and the residue of the anionic surfactant, leaving behind a durable, evenly distributed, high-gloss, water resistant protective film of silicones and wax on the vehicle surface, without any buffing of the surface.

Automotive wash and wax composition and method of use thereof

An improved polishing composition is provided that includes an emulsion of a oil-based components and water-based components and a water soluble polishing agent. The polishing composition of the present invention is rubbed on a painted surface, hosed off with water and wiped or towel dried. Because of the use of a water soluble polishing agent in the polishing composition, all or substantially all of the polishing agent is washed away with the water. This eliminates the need for a two-step polishing process wherein a polishing composition is applied to a surface and allowed to dry in a first step and the surface is buffed with a dry cloth in a second step. One preferred embodiment of the present invention includes silicones, water, a nonionic or anionic surfactant and a water soluble polishing agent. Optionally, the polishing composition may include a solvent, mineral oil, wax, and a preservative.
