A spray wax concentrate adapted to be applied in a highly diluted state in an aqueous spray to a surface, such as a vehicle surface, in the hot sun comprising about 2 to 10 wt. % of a fine polishing powder, of about 10 to about 40 wt. % of mineral spirits, of about 0.5 to about 3 wt. % of a dimethyl silicone fluid polymer, from about 0.5 to about 1.75 wt. % of an alkanolamide surface-active agent; from about 1 to about 1.75 wt. % of a higher alkyl amino functional group substituted dimethyl silicone polymer wax, and the balance, water, to obtain a total of 100 wt. %. The spray wax concentrate is preferably applied as pressurized, turbulent aqueous spray containing about 1 part by volume of the spray wax concentrate and about 40 to about 100 parts by volume of water.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/258,715, filed Feb. 26, 1999, U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,551, Issue Date Dec. 12, 2000, which claimed the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/076,103 for Improved Wax and Method of Wax Application filed on Feb. 27, 1998.
A polish composition includes a siloxane polymer of the formula ##STR00001## wherein each group A independently represents an alkyl group having up to 6 carbon atoms, M represents an alkyl group having up to 6 carbon atoms and Q represents an alkyl group, wherein a proportion of the groups Q have more than 20 carbon atoms and the remainder have up to 6 carbon atoms, and wherein "x" is an integer selected to give a molecular weight of the polymer III in the range 3,000 30,000. In prior polish compositions the radical "Q" have been of shorter chain lengths. We have found that a longer chain length promotes reduced smearing.
A water in oil emulsion wax composition composed of natural and synthetic waxes, surfactants, suspending agents, and aluminum oxide particles of high purity of 0.20 micrometer or less containing no magnesium oxide and being agglomerate free together with a aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent producing a wax having cleaning properties and an enhanced high gloss surface from a single application.
A wax composition for application to a wet surfaces utilizing a polymeric emulsion with a cross-linked copolymer of acrylic acid and C10-30 alkyl acrylate whereby upon application to the surface to be waxed the hydrophilic portion of the polymer instantly collapses releasing the oil phase and providing immediate coverage of the application surface forming a film upon drying, and buffing the waxed surface with an absorbent material leaves a protective coating of wax of the surface which does not easily re-emulsify or wash off when further exposed to water.
