Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus for treating a surface defect on a target surface. The apparatus includes a pump having a housing that defines a chamber for storage of a surface defect treatment composition and an applicator having an orifice in fluid communication with the chamber. The pump and the applicator are positioned such that the pump housing is manually compressible to directly deliver surface defect treatment composition from the chamber to a target surface defect on a surface by way of the orifice.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for treating a target stain on a target surface with a stain treatment composition. The apparatus includes a pump with a manually compressible pump housing that defines a chamber. The chamber stores the stain treatment composition The apparatus also includes an applicator with an orifice that is in fluid communication with the chamber. The pump and the applicator are positioned such that the pump housing is manually compressible to deliver treatment composition from the chamber directly to a target stain on the target surface by way of the orifice. Further, the pump is elastically constructed such that the pump housing is manually compressible from an initial configuration to displace the treatment composition in the chamber and resiliently returns to the initial configuration after compression.

Abstract: A system and method that are capable of cleaning and/or treating a surface of an object, such as the exterior surface of a vehicle. The system and method utilize wash solution formulations and rinse solution formulations including a wash solution composition that contains at least one ethoxylated interpolymer and a rinse solution with at least one layered silicate incorporating an inorganic pholyphosphate peptiser.

Abstract: A blank of foldable material capable of being assembled into a carton having a contoured top front surface and the carton formed thereby is disclosed. The carton is intended to be utilized in a dispenser having a back plate and a front cover with the front cover being hingedly attached to the back plate so as to be moveable between open and closed positions and, in the closed position, to contain the components such as the carton. The particular type of dispenser for which the carton is design is one in which the top portion of the cover tapers adjacent its top end toward the back plate when closed. The blank includes a generally rectangular blank of material having top, bottom and first and second opposed side edges with three fold lines spaced inwardly from and parallel to the edges so as to form there between front and rear side walls and first and second side walls.
