  • Patent number: 4952248
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dry cleaning and shining vehicles, especially motor vehicles, but also other waxable surfaces. The method includes the steps of applying a solution of ammonia, water and alcohol to the surface of the vehicle or other waxable surface, toweling the surface to spread the applied solution, partially remove and evaporate to allow the alcohol to liquify or soften the wax on the surface preparatory to finish polishing. Specifically it is a chemical means for levelling the wax on the surface to the highest degree attainable replacing mechanical buffing which cannot perform at this high level. A preferred embodiment of the solution includes 1 1/2 ounces of a commerically-available ammonia preparation, 10 ounces of water and 4 ounces of isopropyl alcohol. Alternatively, the solution includes 1 1/2 ounces of ammonia with 6 ounces of water and 4 ounces of isoproyl alcohol (70% by volume), or mixtures within these ranges.

  • Patent number: 4413827
    Abstract: A scaled-down golf course includes a plurality of golf holes, each hole including a first area designated as a driving tee, a second area provided as a putting surface and a fairway area located between the first and second areas. The course is adapted to be played with two types of balls, a fairway ball which is designed to resist long flight when struck by a golf club and a putting ball which is designed to have normal golf ball characteristics when chipped and putted. A stripe is provided at a designated distance from the periphery of each putting surface for indicating when the putting ball is to be substituted for the fairway ball. The use of red, white, yellow and orange balls by golfers participating in this game is preferred so they can readily identify their ball by the chosen color.
