Abstract
A formulation and a method of using the formulation for washing vehicles and vehicular tires comprising a surface protecting composition that removes soil while enhancing the gloss, providing a protecting layer, and is biodegradable, environmentally and consumer friendly. The formulation further pertains to a product which contains a highly biodegradable surface active agent that is impervious to hard water and can clean a surface with little mechanical action. The residual protective coating aids in the removal of any subsequent dirt and grime that the surface may collect.
Claims20
A liquid composition for washing vehicles or vehicular tires comprising an alcohol, an indicator dye, a non-aqueous solvent, a coating agent to prevent soil attachment and a biodegradable surface active agent wherein said indicator dye changes color when said liquid composition is diluted with water to active concentration sufficient to effectively clean vehicles and vehicular tires and deposit said coating agent on vehicles and vehicular tires wherein water addition ceases at indicated color point by said indicator dye.
A liquid composition for washing vehicles or vehicular tires comprising an alcohol, an indicator dye, a non-aqueous solvent, a coating agent to prevent soil attachment and a biodegradable surface active agent wherein:
- said indicator dye changes color when said liquid composition is diluted with water to active concentration sufficient to effectively clean vehicles and vehicular tires and deposit said coating agent on vehicles and vehicular tires;
- water addition ceases at indicated color point by said indicator dye;
- and
- said surface active agent is selected from the group consisting of glycerol fatty acid monoesters, glycerol fatty acid diesters, sorbitol fatty acid monoesters, sorbitol fatty acid diesters, sucrose esters, and mixtures thereof.
A liquid formulation for washing vehicles comprising an alcohol, an indicator dye, a non-aqueous solvent, a coating agent to prevent soil attachment and a biodegradable surface active agent wherein said indicator dye changes color when said composition is diluted with water to an active concentration sufficient to effectively clean vehicles and deposit said coating agent on said vehicles.
A liquid formulation for washing vehicular tires comprising an alcohol, an indicator dye, a non-aqueous solvent, a coating agent to prevent soil attachment and a biodegradable surface active agent wherein said indicator dye changes color when said composition is diluted with water to an active concentration sufficient to effectively clean vehicular tires and deposit said coating agent on said vehicular tires.
A liquid composition for washing vehicles or vehicular tires comprising between about 10% (w/w) to about 55% (w/w) alcohol, between about 0.01% (w/w) to about 0.50% (w/w) of an indicator dye, between about 50% (w/w) to about 70% (w/w) of a non-aqueous solvent, between about 10% to about 20% biodegradable surface active agent, and between about 0.1% (w/w) to about 3.0% (w/w) of a coating agent wherein:
- said indicator dye changes color when said composition is diluted with water to concentrations sufficient to effectively clean and deposit said coating agent on vehicles and vehicular tires.
