  • Patent number: 11732215
    Abstract: A gellable vehicle surface cleaning composition is provided that includes a non-ionic surfactant combined with gelling components of an inorganic gel forming substance and at least one water soluble polymer in a ratio of the inorganic gel forming substance to the hydrophilic polymer of between 0.1-1:1. The non-ionic surfactant and the gelling components are provided in an aqueous solvent system. The aqueous solvent system includes a first solvent having a Kamlet-Taft solvent polarity ? (K-T ?) value of zero, a second solvent having a K-T ? 0.6-0.85 value, and water present at more than 50 total weight percent. A process of for cleaning a vehicle surface with a stain is also provided that includes the composition to the stain on the vehicle surface a composition and after allowing sufficient time for the composition to lift the stain, the stain and the composition are removed from the vehicle surface.

  • Publication number: 20140261854
    Abstract: A bag-in-box dispensing system includes a box with a facing. A bag having a spout is placed with the box. A removable extension hose and a connector having snap wings for securing the extension hose to the spout is also provided. A bag-in-box dispensing system is also provided that includes a box with a facing configured with a removable flap. A bag with a spout containing a liquid inside said box is positioned within the box and a spout retracted under the removable flap. A removable extension hose is placed in the interior of the box for direct coupling to the spout or via a connector. A process of filling a vehicle DEF tank with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) from the box is also provided.
