  • Patent number: 4880557
    Abstract: A spray lustering-cleansing agent is produced by preparing a basic material substantially comprising 5.0 to 60 wt % of silicone oil obtained by emulsifying silicone oil with water in the presence of an emulsifier, 0.1 to 10.0 wt % of an emulsifier, and water and charging a spray can with the basic material in combination with a foam regulating agent and a propellant. A single spray is enough for the lustering-cleansing agent to clean a dirty tire and, at the same time, impart luster to the surface. Additional incorporation of a water-soluble organic base in the agent enables this agent to manifest an improved foaming property and consequently an improved lustering-cleansing effect.
