Abstract
The invention provides an improvement to waterless cleaner, polish products. With a proper mix of a foaming agent, FOAMTEKTM washes and waxes a variety of vehicles such as cars, boats, etc., without water. FOAMTEKTM is a very easy to use, just spray a small quantity on the surface and instantly the foam starts to work, the cleaning agents breakdown the dirt and instantly liquidizes, raising it off the surface. The foam also contains the liquid polymer wax that moves to the surface giving a protective coat before wiping the dirt off. Lightly wipe the dirt off with a soft towel, which absorbs the dirt while the wax allows it to glide across without scratching the surface. The remaining wax will now dry to a light haze, at this point a clean towel is used to buff off the haze leaving behind a glossy shine and a waxed protective finish
Description
Title : FOAMTEK™ DESCRIPTION
The invention of FOAMTEK™ started with basic principals of other waterless cleaning, protecting products that were available in 1997. These products were not highly successful because it was difficult to show the consumer that it would not scratch the painted surface. The product has been in development since 1997 and only now in 2003 have we at Van Doom International inc. made it completely different, so different that there is no other product for FOAMTEK™ to be compared to.
First it must be made clear that with all methods of cleaning a vehicle, there will always be micro scratches that will remain no matter what type of cleaning method is used. The reason for this is that there is no cleaning agent that is able to dissolve sand (silica) without harming the painted surface. These particles will remain behind and may have friction with the surface, but will take a few years of accumulation before they become apparent. All painted surfaces will eventually require to be compounded out.
FOAMTEK™ is a safe and reliable product for cleaning all types of painted surfaces without using valuable treated water. FOAMTEK™ is extremely easy to use, time saving, just the fact that it cleans and waxes the surface with three steps in under 30 seconds, doing a complete vehicle in- under 30 minutes. Compare that to washing then drying, followed by applying a wax and buffing it off, this procedure takes about 2-3 hours. FOAMTEK™ is the only existing waterless cleaner protector, with a foaming action. It's the foaming agent that makes it a completely unique product, there is nothing to compare it to FOAMTEK™ in this category. The foaming agents are what makes this product work, and shows the consumer that it works. How it works is simple, FOAMTEK™1 is sprayed on the dirty surface, instantly upon contact with the surface the dirt, industrial fallout, insect remains, bird excrement and other foreign particles become liquidated. At the same moment the foaming agent will lift the filth off the surface, allowing the heavier wax polymers settle on the surface under the filth. After 5 to 10 seconds the residue is wiped off with a soft towel absorbing all the dirt and excess liquid, the wax that is on the surface allows the towel to glide across and prevent any particles from making contact to the surface. Now that the excess is removed, e wax layer left behind will dry when
the petroleum distillates evaporate within 10 - 15 seconds, leaving a haze on the painted surface. Once the haze appears a new clean towel is used to buff off the haze that will leave the surface with an extremely high glossy protected finish.
Keeping wax in a liquid state requires the use of petroleum distillates, which are also anti- foamers that is why it is difficult to get a wax able to foam. FOAMTEK™ has the perfect balance of cleaners, petroleum distillate, wax, and foaming agents to make it a unique waterless cleaner protector for all types of painted or non- porous surfaces.
Claims
1. FOAMTEK™ is the only waterless, cleaner protector that foams. (note: variable words may be used, foaming, mousse, bubbly)
2. Two different aerosol applications available:
The standard spray can with no cfc's, but using a gas as the propellant activating the foam. The second type of spray can contains no cfc's and no hydrocarbon propellants. This spray can uses a P.E.T. inner molded bottle with a surrounding rubber sleeve using elastic pressure to propel. FOAMTEK™ uses both types of aerosols for its waterless cleaner protector application.
3. FOAMTEK™ can be used on all types of painted and non-porous surfaces.
