  • Patent number: 6475934
    Abstract: An excellent wet cloth with which, only by wiping the body, not only can stains and dirt attached to an automobile body be removed therefrom, but a glossy film with water repellency can also be formed. The cloth, woven or non-woven, is made from lipophilic fibers and hydrophilic fibers in a content ratio of 80:20 to 50:50 and is impregnated with a wet cloth treating agent which is prepared by dispersing a silicone compound such as dimethylpolysiloxane, trimethyl siloxy silicate or the like; a fluorine compound such as perfluoroalkylpolyether or the like; or a waxy substance such as carnauba wax, candelilla wax or the like in water together with a surfactant, thereby obtaining a wet cloth for cleaning, providing a water repellent finish and polishing of an automobile paint film.

  • Patent number: 6309984
    Abstract: A water repellency supply cloth supplying a water-repellent film having excellent persistency by a simple operation of polishing the body of a car or wiping out waterdrops after car washing is provided. A trimethyl siloxi silicate derivative having free hydroxyl groups is added to a dimethylpolysiloxane solution of trimethyl siloxi silicate expressed in the following formula (1) by 10 to 60 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of trimethyl siloxi silicate, and amino modified dimethylpolysiloxane, a surface active agent and/or fine powder is dissolved in an organic solvent or dispersed in water at need, to obtain an agent for treating a water repellency supply cloth according to the present invention. Cloth is impregnated with the agent for treating a water repellency supply cloth to contain a nonvolatile component corresponding to 1.0 to 50.
