DIRT REPELLING CLEANING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Described herein are compositions and methods for use in automotive care. The present disclosure includes compositions directed to, for example, a wheel cleaner.
1 . A composition comprising:
an amino functional silicone emulsion;
a first alkaline agent; and,
a second alkaline agent.
2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino functional silicone emulsion comprises an aminoalkyl-functional organopolysiloxane fluid and water.
3 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino functional silicone emulsion has a pH of from about 3 to about 6.
4 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino functional silicone emulsion is present in an amount of from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight of the composition.
5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first alkaline agent is present in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 1.5% by weight of the composition.
6 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the second alkaline agent is present in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 1.5% by weight of the composition.
7 . The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a component selected from the group consisting of a preservative, a propellant, water, and combinations thereof.
8 . The composition of claim 1 , further comprising one or more solvents.
9 . The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a first solvent and a second solvent.
10 . The composition of claim 9 , wherein the first solvent is present in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition.
11 . The composition of claim 9 , wherein the first solvent is isopropyl alcohol.
12 . The composition of claim 9 , wherein the second solvent is present in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition.
13 . The composition of claim 9 , wherein the second solvent is butyl carbitol.
14 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is free of a component selected from the group consisting of surfactants, silicone oil, and combinations thereof.
15 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first alkaline agent and the second alkaline agent are each weak alkaline agents.
16 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a pH in the range of from about 9.2 to about 9.8.
17 . A method of treating an automotive surface, the method comprising:
applying a composition to an automotive surface, wherein the composition comprises:
an amino functional silicone emulsion;
a first alkaline agent; and,
a second alkaline agent.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the automotive surface is selected from the group consisting of a tire, wheel, paint, hood, roof, trunk, an exterior part, an interior part, and combinations thereof.
19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the automotive surface is a wheel.
20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the composition is a fluid, and the liquid is applied by the means of an aerosol, a trigger sprayer, a sponge, and combinations thereof.
