Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8909660A1] A method and apparatus for dry cleaning and shining motor vehicles and other waxable surfaces. The method includes the steps of applying a solution (14) (16) (18) of ammonia, water and alcohol to the surface of the vehicle (20), toweling (21) 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 the solution is a chemical means for levelling the wax on the surface to the highest degree attainable, replacing mechanical buffing (26) which cannot perform at this high level. A preferred embodiment of the solution includes 1-1/2 ounces of a commercially-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 isopropyl alcohol (70 % by volume), or mixtures within these ranges.
