The present invention relates to protecting surfaces and in particular to bio-resin agent cleaner and protectant for painted and clear coat vehicle bodies.
Car enthusiasts generally value the appearance of their cars and often display them in car shows. These enthusiasts desire to show a bright mirror-like shine. While some products provide such a shine, they do not always provide added protection to the painted surface.
Further, some classic cars are rust prone and the owners are reluctant to use a washing method including spraying their cars with a water hose in preparation for a car show. Unfortunately, known waterless washing systems have damaged paint or other surfaces. As a result, there is a need for a waterless or reduced water car washing system which cleans and protects the painted car body without harming the paint or surfaces, or inducing rust.
The present invention addresses the above and other needs by providing a bio resin agent cleaner and protectant for painted automotive surface finishes, clear coat finishes, fiberglass, chrome, rubber, plastic, gel coat, aluminum, steel, and glass surfaces. In addition to cleaning and protecting the product leaves a semi permanent gloss on most all surfaces. The bio resin agent cleaner and protectant may be a soy bio resin, a grapeseed bio resin, a sunflower bio resin, a vegetable based bio resin, or any equivalent bio resin, for example a soy methyl ester based from soy oil. In one embodiment the bio resin agent cleaner and protectant is a bio resin combined with surfactants and emulsifiers. The bio resin agent addresses the needs for cleaning and protecting painted automotive surfaces.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a spay bottle cleaner and protectant for painted automotive surface finishes, clear coat finishes, fiberglass, chrome, rubber, plastic, gel coat, aluminum, steel, and glass surfaces. The spray bottle contains a bio resin solution sprayed directly on to a painted car body, followed by wiping with a clean cloth. The bio resin solution includes the bio resin, a surfactant, and emulsifiers.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided a cleaning towel which is wetted with a bio resin solution. The bio resin solution includes the bio resin, a surfactant, and emulsifiers. The towel is preferably a low lint fabric sheet, for example a melt-blown polypropylene or polyurethane-coated polyester fabric about 10 inches by 12 inches having an even surface or a dimpled, ridged, or otherwise textured surface. The bio resin may be a soy bio resin, a grapeseed bio resin, a sunflower bio resin, a vegetable based bio resin, or any equivalent bio resin, and is preferably a soy methyl ester based from soy oil. The towel may be used without water to clean a painted surface or unpainted surface, and in particular to clean a car body.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided a concentrated car body cleaner. The car body cleaner contains a bio resin solution applied directly on to a car body, followed by lightly rinsing the car body to remove excess car body cleaner. The bio resin solution includes the bio resin, a surfactant, and emulsifiers.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided a bio resin cleaning and polishing agent. The bio resin cleaning and polishing agent is suitable for use on painted auto surfaces, & chrome, plastic, rubber, gel coat, fiberglass, stainless steel, aluminum, and magnesium.
The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following more particular description thereof, presented in conjunction with the following drawings wherein:
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding components throughout the several views of the drawings.
The following description is of the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of describing one or more preferred embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined with reference to the claims.
Where the terms “about” or “generally” are associated with an element of the invention, it is intended to describe a feature's appearance to the human eye or human perception, and not a precise measurement. Where amounts are presented, they may be within 10% of the amount stated.
The bio resin agent cleaner and protectant of the present invention preferably comprises the following ingredients:
1) preferably between 50 and 90 percent by volume of base deionized water and more preferably between 70 and 90 percent by volume of base deionized water (used as a carrier of other ingredients used to dissolve and or blend with coatings, pastes and other liquid gels);
2) preferably between one and ten percent by volume of bio resin, and more preferably between one and five percent by volume of the bio resin, which cleans and protects paint finishes;
3) preferably between 0.1 and five percent by volume of a surfactant and more preferably 0.1 and 2.5 percent by volume of the surfactant (enables the non water base ingredients to blend and polarize with the water); and
4) preferably between 0.1 and five percent by volume of an emulsifier and more preferably 0.1 and 2.5 percent by volume of the emulsifier (aids the non water base ingredients to blend and polarize with the surfactant and the water).
The bio resin agent cleaner and protectant may be applied using a spray bottle 10, a towel or wipe 20, or as a concentrate added to water in a bucket 30. Those skilled in the art may recognize other avenues for applying the bio resin agent cleaner and protectant to painted surfaces, and those other avenues are intended to come within the scope of the present invention. Bio resin combined with surfactants and emulsifiers is preferred for cleaning, and the bio resin provides a semi permanent shine and protectant.
A preferably bio resin is selected from a soy bio resin, a grapeseed bio resin, a sunflower bio resin, a vegetable based bio resin, or any equivalent bio resin. A more preferred bio resin is a soy methyl ester based from soy oil. The soy methyl ester bio resin penetrates most all surfaces and maintains the semi permanent protective gloss finish. The bio resin agent cleaner and protectant preferably comprises 0.1 to five percent bio resin, 0.1 percent to five percent surfactants, 0.1 to five percent emulsifiers, and 85 to 99.7 percent de ionized water volume, and more preferably comprises, 1.5 to 2.5 percent bio resin, 0.1 percent to five percent surfactants, 0.1 to five percent emulsifiers and 85 to 99.7 percent de ionized water volume.

While the invention herein disclosed has been described by means of specific embodiments and applications thereof, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention set forth in the claims.
The present application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/807,233 filed Feb. 18, 2019, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/872,801 filed Jul. 11, 2019, which applications are incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
