(C) above is a specific species and a trimethylsilyl endblocked aminofunctional siloxane produced by incorporating conventional trimethylsilyl functional silanes or siloxanes into the aminofunctional siloxanes. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the acid anhydride is selected from the group consisting of succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and carbon dioxide. The reaction product is an aminofunctional siloxane zwitterion having the structural formula: where Me is methyl, x is an integer of from forty to four hundred, y is an integer of from one to twenty and R₄ is ethylene, vinylidene or phenylene. x is preferably 188 and y is ten. The zwitterionic aminofunctional siloxane can, if desired, be further reacted with a strong acid resulting in an equilibrium of the zwitterion and a conjugate acid base pair of the zwitterion and the acid; for which the extent of conjugate acid base pair formation depends upon the pKa of the strong acid and the dielectric strength of the solvent.

The organic acid is selected from the group consisting of acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, caproic, benzoic, halo-substituted benzoic and nitro-substituted benzoic. The conjugate acid base pair of the zwitterion and the strong acid has the structural formula: where Me is methyl, x is an integer of from forty to four hundred, y is an integer of from one to twenty, A is an anion and the conjugate base of the strong acid and R₄ is ethylene, vinylidene or phenylene. x again is preferably 188 and y is ten. The invention is further directed to a method of sheeting water on a surface in which there is applied to the surface before the surface is exposed to water a polish formulation containing as components thereof the ingredients enumerated above. The invention is also directed to a method of making an aminofunctional siloxane zwitterionomer comprising reacting a cyclic acid anhydride or CO₂ with an aminofunctional siloxane selected from the group consisting of (A) and (B) as set forth and detailed above. Still further, the present invention relates to an aminofunctional zwitterionomeric siloxane compound which is a reaction product of an acid anhydride with an aminofunctional siloxane selected from the group consisting of (A) and (B) again as defined hereinabove. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and novel type of polish formulation particularly adapted for use on motor vehicles in which water coming into contact with such surfaces is sheeted and drained away rather than being beaded and repelled as has been the practice of prior art formulations in the past. A particular advantage to this approach is that vehicles need not be washed following every period of rain as has been the case due to spots caused by the beads. Instead, with the sheeting action of the compositions of the present invention, this disadvantage is overcome and rain is sheeted away from vehicle surfaces without leaving behind the unaesthetic appearance of rings containing debris. These and other features, objects and advantages, of the herein described instant invention, should become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the following detailed description thereof. A surfactant is a compound that reduces surface tension when dissolved in a liquid. Surfactants exhibit combinations of cleaning, detergency, foaming, wetting, emulsifying, solubilizing and dispersing properties. They are classified depending upon the charge of the surface active moiety. In anionic surfactants, the moiety carries a negative charge as in soap. In cationic surfactants, the charge is positive. In non-ionic surfactants, there is no charge on the molecule and in amphoteric surfactants, solubilization is provided by the presence of positive and negative charges linked together in the molecule. A zwitterion is a special category and is a molecule that exists as a dipolar ion rather than in the un-ionized form. The molecule is neutral overall but has a large charge separation like an amino acid. Zwitterions are also known as hybrid ions and internal or intramolecular salts. In the case of amino acids, they are electrolytes having separated weakly acidic and weakly basic groups. For example, while shown as H₂N-R-COOH, in aqueous solution ⊕ H₃N-R-COO⁻ is the actual species where an internal proton transfer from the acidic carboxyl to the basic amino site is complete. The uncharged species has separate cationic and anionic sites but the positive and the negative ions are not free to migrate. Thus, it is a complex ion that is both positively and negatively charged. Alkyl betaines are also representative of zwitterions and are a special class of zwitterion where there is no hydrogen atom bonded to the cationic site. Some silicones are also zwitterions and it is this special category of silicone zwitterion to which the present invention relates. The zwitterionomeric aminofunctional siloxane compositions of the present invention may be prepared in accordance with the following schematic: It should be noted in the above schematic that formula (I) denotes an aminofunctional siloxane, formula (II) denotes the zwitterionomer of the present invention, and formula (III) indicates the conjugate acid base pair of the zwitterionomer and the strong acid (HA). Formula (I) is generically described as an aminofunctional siloxane selected from the group consisting of reaction products of (A) a blend or reaction product of a hydroxyl endblocked polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity in the range of 10 to 15,000 mm²/s (cs) at 25°C. and a silane selected from the group consisting of those having the general formulae R″ n (R′O) 3-n Si(CH₂)₃NHR‴ and R″ n (R′O) 3-n SiRNHCH₂NH₂ wherein R‴ is a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical, R″ is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical free of aliphatic unsaturation and contains from one to six carbon atoms, n has a value of from zero to two, R′ is an alkyl radical containing from one to four carbon atoms and R is a divalent hydrocarbon radical free of aliphatic unsaturation and contains three to four carbon atoms, (B) a blend or reaction product of a hydroxyl endblocked polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity in the range of 10 to 15,000 mm²/s (cs) at 25°C., a silane selected from the group consisting of those having the general formulae (R₁O)₃-SiR₂NHR₃ and (R₁O)₃-SiR₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂ wherein R₁ is an alkyl radical containing from one to four carbon atoms, R₂ is a divalent hydrocarbon radical free of aliphatic unsaturation and contains from three to four carbon atoms, and R₃ is selected from the group consisting of the hydrogen atom and the methyl radical and a silane having the general formula X₃SiZ wherein X is selected from the group consisting of alkoxy and acyloxy radicals containing from one to four carbon atoms, and Z is a nonhydrolyzable radical selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated hydrocarbon radicals and radicals composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, wherein the oxygen atoms are present in hydroxyl groups, ester groups or ether linkages, there being from one to ten carbon atoms in the Z radical, and (C) a blend or reaction product of a polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity in the range of one to 15,000 mm²/s (cs) at 25°C. and a silane selected from the group consisting of those having the general formulae R″ n (R′O) 3-n Si(CH₂)₃NHR‴ and R″ n (R′O) 3-n SiRNHCH₂CH₂NH₂ wherein R‴ is a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical, R″ is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical free of aliphatic unsaturation and contains from one to six carbon atoms, n has a value of from zero to two, R′ is an alkyl radical containing from one to four carbon atoms, and A is a divalent hydrocarbon radical free of aliphatic unsaturation and contains three to four carbon atoms. Such compositions are described in more or less detail in U.S. Patent US-A-3,508,933, issued April 28, 1970, in U.S. Patent US-A-3,836,371, issued September 17, 1974, and in U.S. Patent US-A-3,890,271, issued June 17, 1975. The preparation of these compositions and their use in polishes is also detailed in the aforementioned patents. Particular of such compositions prepared and falling within the scope of the present invention is set forth in Table I. Compound (I) x y A 45.75 2.25 B 69.25 3.75 C 96 2 D 188 10 E 295.9 2.1 F 400 8 In the above schematic, the acid anhydride which is reacted with compositions of formula (I) is selected from the group consisting of succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, itaconic anhydride or other cyclic anhydrides and carbon dioxide, with the first named anhydride being the preferred material for use herein. The resulting reaction product indicated by formula (II) in the foregoing schematic is an aminofunctional siloxane zwitterionomer having the structural formula: where Me is methyl, x is an integer of from forty to four hundred, y is an integer of from one to twenty and R₄ is ethylene, vinylidene or phenylene. x is preferably 188 and y is ten. The zwitterionic aminofunctional siloxane of formula (II) is further reacted with a strong acid (HA) resulting in an equilibrium of the zwitterion (II) and a conjugate acid base pair indicated by formula (III) of the zwitterion (II) and the acid (HA) which depends upon the pKa of the strong acid and the dielectric strength of the polish solvent. The strong acid (HA) is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, nitric, perchloric, phosphoric and organic acids, wherein the organic acid may be one of the group consisting of acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, caproic, benzoic, halo-substituted benzoic and nitro-substituted benzoic. The resulting formula (III) as shown above of the conjugate acid base pair of the zwitterion (II) and the strong acid (HA) has the structural formula: where again Me is methyl, x is an integer of from forty to four hundred, y is an integer of from one to twenty, A is an anion and R₄ is ethylene, vinylidene or phenylene. x is preferably 188 and y is ten. This is a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not a requirement that the conjugate composition (III) be formed in every instance. However, it should be noted that where the conjugate (III) is formed, it necessitates the presence in the formulation of an acid. The equilibrium reached between the zwitterionomer (II) and the conjugate (III) depends on the strength of the acid. Where the acid is strong, the conjugate (III) predominates. Where the acid is weaker, the zwitterionomer predominates. As noted hereinbefore, such equilibrium depends upon the pKa of the strong acid and the dielectric strength of the solvent. Preferred solvents in accordance with the present invention are ethanol and toluene, for example. The zwitterionic aminofunctional siloxane of formula (II) can also be further reacted with a basic compound resulting in an equilibrium of the zwitterion (II) and a conjugate acid base pair indicated by formula (IV) of the zwitterion (II) and the basic compound which depends upon the relative pKa's of the base B and the basic sites of the zwitterion and the dielectric strength of the medium. The strong base is selected from the group consisting of organic amines, hydroxides and lewis bases. The resulting formula (IV) as shown below of the conjugate acid base pair of the zwitterion (II) and the basic compound has the structural formula: where again Me is methyl, x is an integer of from forty to four hundred, y is an integer of from one to twenty, BH is a cation and a protonated base and R₄ is ethylene, vinylidene or phenylene. x is preferably 188 and y is ten. This is a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not a requirement that the conjugate composition (IV) be formed in every instance. However, it should be noted that where the conjugate (IV) is formed, it necessitates the presence in the formulation of a basic compound such as dibutyl amine. The equilibrium reached between the zwitterionomer (II) and the conjugate (IV) depends on the strength of the base. Where the base is strong, the conjugate (IV) predominates. Where the base is weaker, the zwitterionomer predominates. As noted hereinbefore, such equilibrium depends upon the relative pKa's of the strong base and zwitterion and the dielectric strength of the solvent. The aminofunctional siloxanes of the formula (I) type may also be prepared by an alternate method from that set forth in U.S. Patent US-A-3,508,993, U.S. Patent US-A-3,836,371 and U.S. Patent US-A-3,890,271, aforementioned. In the alternate method, the starting material is methyldimethoxy ethylenediaminoisobutyl silane of the formula: CH₃(CH₃O)₂SiCH₂CH(CH₃)CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂ This aminofunctional silane is distilled to an active concentration of between 95-99%. The silane is hydrolyzed with three moles of water added to one mole of the silane. The material is batch distilled at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 130°C. Methanol and residual water are then removed by vacuum stripping to yield an aminofunctional hydrolyzate. The aminofunctional hydrolyzate is added to a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane of viscosity of 1.5 mm²/s (centistokes), a dimethylcyclic of the formula (Me₂SiO) n where n is three, four or five and a catalyst such as potassium hydroxide or potassium silanolate. This mixture is equilibriated to a polymer by agitation and heat at 150°C. The mixture is cooled to 80-90°C. or lower and the catalyst is neutralized by the addition of acetic acid accompanied with mixing. The non-volatile content is increased by stripping of the volatiles under vacuum, followed by filtration of the material in a pre-coated plate and frame filter for the purpose of removing any haze in order to obtain a clarified product. A typical example of this procedure is set forth below. Example I Into a round bottom flask was added 3,482.8 grams of a dimethylcyclic, 439.2 grams of hydrolyzate, 78.4 grams of polydimethylsiloxane of viscosity of 1.5 mm²/s (cs) and 38.3 grams of potassium silanolate catalyst. The contents of the flask were mixed under a nitrogen atmosphere for twenty minutes. Heat was applied to the flask and the contents were maintained at 150°C. for four hours. The mixture was cooled to 33°C. The catalyst was neutralized by the addition to the flask of 2.14 grams of acetic acid. The fluid was stirred overnight and filtered. The resulting product was water clear and had a viscosity of 354 mm²/s (cs). The product contained five mol percent amine and was identified as the material set forth in Table I where x = 188 and y = 10. Example II Example I was repeated in order to produce an aminofunctional siloxane of the formula (I) type. Zwitterionic aminofunctional siloxanes materials of the formula (II) type were obtained by separately dissolving succinic anhydride in dimethoxyethane in order to provide a ten weight percent solution of the anhydride. The succinic anhydride was added from a dropping funnel to the contents of the flask containing the formula (I) type aminofunctional siloxane and the solution was heated with stirring at 55°C. and under a nitrogen flow. The mixture was vacuum distilled at about twenty millimeters of mercury or less under a nitrogen atmosphere at 120°C. for forty-five minutes or until the vapor reached 80°C., to remove all of the dimethoxyethane and yielding the zwitterionomer. The resulting zwitterionomer was distilled to a solids content of about eighty-eight percent. This example was repeated producing zwitterionomers having amine mol percentages ranging from 0.5 mol percent to eight mol percent. The zwitterionic aminofunctional siloxanes of the present invention, were formulated into polishes in place of the aminofunctional siloxanes employed in U.S. Patent US-A-3,508,933, U.S. Patent US-A-3,836,371 and U.S. Patent US-A-3,890,271, causing water coming into contact with the surface treated, to sheet rather than to bead, as is conventional with prior art polish formulations. The polishes so formulated were applied both to actual vehicle surfaces as well as test panels. Water contacting the treated surfaces sheeted water and was noted by visual observation. Thus, prior art polishes lay down a film, but the film is a water beading film, in contrast to the water sheeting film obtained when the zwitterionomeric compositions of the present invention are employed. In either case, a film is formed by applying the polish to the surface to be treated and by rubbing in the polish onto the surface and allowing the solvent to evaporate, leaving behind the film. Inclusion of the zwitterionomers of the present invention, however, sheets the water, whereas omission beads the water. A distinct advantage of a water sheeting film is that, in contrast to a film that beads the water, the water sheeting film will not collect dust and debris following a rain as do water beading films, which necessitate that the surface be washed once more in order to remove the spots and rings caused by the water beading type of film. The water sheeting films of the present invention are of general application including such surfaces as motor vehicles, boats and navigable crafts, wood surfaces, plastic surfaces and fiber surfaces. The films produce a high gloss, are durable and are easy to apply.
