Claims27
An automobile spray wax composition, comprising:
- an aromatic hydrocarbon having at least one of two linear C.sub.8 -C.sub.20 alkyl substituents;
- and
- an emulsifier.
An aqueous composition, comprising an organic component having the structural formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl and a substantially linear C.sub.8 -C.sub.20 alkyl substituent, and wherein R.sub.2 is substantially linear C.sub.8 -C.sub.20 alkyl substituent, and a water diluent component.
An aqueous composition of the type usable as a spray wax for automobiles and including an emulsifier, the improvement comprising a hydrophobic component selected from the group of heavy alkylates consisting of dialkyl benzenes and linear alkyl benzenes, said heavy alkylates having a CAS registry number of 68988-79-4.
A method of using an aromatic hydrocarbon to increase the surface tension of water applied to an automobile finish, said method comprising:
- providing an automobile finish wetted with water;
- providing an aromatic hydrocarbon composition comprising heavy alkylates;
- and
- applying said composition to said automobile finish.
