Patent ID: 7368147

Claim:
A process for preserving and renewing the surface of automobile tires, trim, and bumpers comprising wetting said surface with a thixotropic gel emulsion composition comprising 15-40 weight percent, of a water- insoluble dimethylpolysiloxane polymer and 0.5 to 5 weight percent of an acrylic polymer dispersed in water and having a viscosity of 30,000-40,000 centipoise at room temperature shearing said thixotropic gel composition by painting or wiping said surface to cause said thixotropic gel composition to decrease in viscosity to 500 cp or less thereby reverting to a liquid and flowing to wet said surface, ceasing said shearing to allow said liquid to revert to said thixotropic gel composition and allowing said thixotropic gel composition, to dry in place.
