A composition for simultaneously cleaning and waxing non-porous surfaces
without the need for additional rinsing of the treated surface with
water, has a pH of from about 6 to about 7 and contains by weight: (a)
from about 0.04 to about 0.12% of an acrylic-based polymer, wherein the
acrylic-based polymer is a hydrophobically modified, crosslinked
polyacrylate powder which has been crosslinked with a polyalkenyl
polyether or is an acrylic polymer containing acid groups and which
dissolves and swells immediately when neutralized with an alkali salt (b)
from about 0.5 to about 5.0% of a silicone blend composed of: (i) from
about 70 to about 95% of a first polydiorganosiloxane fluid having a
viscosity of from about 0.65 to about 60,000 centistokes at 25.degree.
C., and (ii) from about 5 to about 30% of a polydiorganosiloxane fluid
mixture having a viscosity of from about 500 to about 2000 centistokes at
25.degree. C., the polydiorganosiloxane fluid mixture being composed of a
second polydiorganosiloxane fluid and a silicone resin; (c) wax; and (d)
water. The composition can be used to simultaneously clean and wax
non-porous surfaces such as the exterior surfaces of automobiles and
other vehicles, windows, and the like.
