A protective composition for automotive painted surfaces is provided, comprising emulsified silicone, an evaporation modifier and an agent which increases wetting speed, dispersed in water.

Water based paint protectant

A method for cleaning automotive or truck wheel surfaces. A cleaning composition containing an acid fluoride salt and having a pH of about 3 to 6.5 is applied to the automotive or truck wheel surface. The cleaning composition contains soluble salt in an amount which provides the composition with a molar ratio of soluble anion to hydrogen ion of about 3.5 or greater. This protects the wheel surfaces cleaned, including those of untreated aluminum, from corrosive attack by the acid fluoride salt.

Method for cleaning an automotive or truck wheel surface

The specification discloses compositions and methods for removing particulate and greasy soils from painted and waxed surfaces without stripping the paint or wax. The composition comprises terpene and a surfactant. When applied to a surface as a concentrate, the composition effectively removes greasy and oily soils such as tree sap, tar, and other soils of this type which are typically difficult to solubilize using standard detergents. The composition can be diluted with cold water and applied to a surface to remove particulate soils. The composition and method are particularly useful for cleaning greasy and particulate soils from automotive surfaces.

Method for removing soils from a painted automobile surface

An aqueous cleaning composition is disclosed that is useful for cleaning wheel soils from surfaces of painted steel, painted aluminum, chrome, stainless steel, clear coated aluminum and plastic. The cleaning composition effectively removes organic and inorganic soils from these surfaces without pitting, etching or hazing. The cleaning composition is effective without scrubbing. The cleaning composition comprises at least one acid fluoride salt and at least one organic soil removing agent selected from the group consisting of detergents and organic solvents. The pH of the cleaning composition is from about 3.5 to about 6.0.

Wheel cleaning composition containing acid fluoride salts

A protective composition for automotive painted surfaces is provided, which is used with a detergent. The protective composition comprises modified silicone, a cationic emulsifier, and a dispersant.

Automotive protectant for use with cleaning compositions

This invention relates to a dual-purpose cleaning composition for removing dirt and grease from painted and waxed surfaces without stripping the wax or paint from that surface. The composition contains nonionic amide and anionic surfactants, along with at least one of a terpene or a fatty acid alkyl ester.
