This invention provides a surface-treating agent, as a hard surface-treatment or stain-proofing agent, comprising titanium oxide of an anatase form, a thermoplastic resin and an organic medium, the titanium oxide and the thermoplastic resin being dispersed in the organic medium, wherein the content of the titanium oxide is within the range of 0.05-20 wt % and the content of the thermoplastic resin within the range of 0.05-20 wt %. This surface-treating agent is usable for vehicles such as cars and aircrafts, office furniture, or buildings, and has a good workability, stain-proofing effect and water spot formation-preventing effect.

Hard surface-treating agent, stain-proofing agent and surface-treating method

This invention there provides a detergent for cleaning tire wheels, which is applied in a foamy state onto the tire wheels, thereby allowing a grime adhered to the surface of the tire wheels to come off from the tire wheels, which contains a surfactant, at least one alkali compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia and amino group-containing alkali compounds, and a color change indicator capable of changing its own color when transferred from an alkaline condition to a neutral condition, in which the alkali compound is contained in the detergent in such an amount that the compound is eliminated from the detergent by reaction with carbon dioxide for the same period of time as required to release most amounts of grime from the surface of tire wheels, and a method of cleaning tire wheels with the detergent.

Detergent for cleaning tire wheels and cleaning method

A water repellent for automobile window glass includes dimethyl polyorganosiloxane, an inorganic acid, a water-type solvent, and at least one member selected from the group consisting of alkyl group-containing polyorganosiloxanes each having a specific structure, fluorine resins each having a specific structure, and paraffin waxes.

A removing agent being capable of removing silicone film adhering fast to the surface of a pane of vehicles quickly, easily, evenly and completely, and a method for removing silicone film adhering to the surface of a pane completely without any of the removing agent left on the surface are provided. The removing agent comprises water and at least one acidic fluoride selected from the group consisting of an acidic ammonium fluoride and an acidic potassium fluoride wherein an amount of the acidic fluoride is from 0.15 to 15 wt % of the total amount of the agent. The removing agent further includes a powder at need.

The water repellent for window panes of automobiles of this invention comprises an amino group-containing polyorganosiloxane having the specific structure, an organic acid, a surfactant and an aqueous solvent, which is usable regardless of whether it is fine or rains, and can provide a uniform film having a good water repellency held for a long period.

Water repellent for window panes of automobiles and method of repelling

A method for cleansing and lustering a surface comprises spraying on the surface a cleansing-lustering agent essentially consisting of lanolin and an O/W emulsion composed of an emulsifying agent, a silicone oil and water thereby depositing a foamed mass of the cleansing-lustering agent on said surface and allowing the foamed mass to defoam spontaneously after a prescribed period of standing and cleanse the surface. A foaming cleansing-lustering agent is disclosed which essentially consists of lanolin and an O/W emulsion composed of an emulsifying agent, a silicone oil and water.

Cleansing-lustering agent

A novel water-repellent glazing agent is disclosed. The agent contains a modified organic silicone oil, which is represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2 and X.sup.3 respectively stand for CH.sub.3 or a long chain alkyl group having 10-30 carbon atoms and at least one of X.sup.1, X.sup.2 and X.sup.3 is a long chain alkyl group having 10-30 carbon atoms and m and n are respectively 20-80 and 3-10. This agent has excellent water repellency and glazing effect as well as excellent operability.

Method for cleansing and lustering a surface

The glazing agent contains at least one member selected from a group consisting of a petroleum solvent, silicone oil and wax and at least one member selected from a group consisting of a lower alcohol, oil-soluble ionic surfactant and silicone resin. The glazing agent is excellent in detergency of a stain, or lime deposit, particularly on a coating surface of the vehicle body, as well as in water repelency and its continuity.

Glazing agent for an automobile

A spray lustering-cleansing agent is produced by preparing a basic material substantially comprising 5.0 to 60 wt % of silicone oil obtained by emulsifying silicone oil with water in the presence of an emulsifier, 0.1 to 10.0 wt % of an emulsifier, and water and charging a spray can with the basic material in combination with a foam regulating agent and a propellant. A single spray is enough for the lustering-cleansing agent to clean a dirty tire and, at the same time, impart luster to the surface. Additional incorporation of a water-soluble organic base in the agent enables this agent to manifest an improved foaming property and consequently an improved lustering-cleansing effect.
