BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] In the modern world, most people prefer commuting through the city in their personal vehicles. As cities and economies expand, so will the demand for these vehicles. With expansion in the manufacture and purchase of cars, the goods associated with it also get updated. Car maintenance is increasingly becoming an expensive affair as car owners now have more requirements including clean and shiny car bodies.
[0004] Cleaning a car is important because of the constant exposure of the car to dust, grease, grime, traffic film and sun. Many factors like rigorous cleaning, climate, operating conditions and natural sources impact the car paintwork. Long exposures to them without cleaning can deface the car because of surface damage which consumes the paint coating of cars. Car washes are known to the modern world however, they still work out expensive for the ordinary man who prefers to keep his car clean himself. Old techniques of keeping cars clean involved the usage of regular soaps and all-purpose cleaners easily available at home for example dishwashing agents. These dishwashing agents are strong and may strip off the protection of the polish and paint of the car. Many chemical compositions have been prepared in the past to form effective cleaning solutions. However most of these solutions utilize a large amount of water which leads to wastage of water.
[0005] There are different categories of cleaning products available for domestic motor vehicle i.e. prewash, main wash and wax. Pre-washing is a process that leads to mere loosening of the dirt before actual washing. Waxing on the other hand involves coating the car surfaces such that the coat prevents fading or oxidation of the surface. A much more detailed car cleaning process would also include decontamination, polishing, claying etc. But purchasing products for all the categories of work would be cost intensive.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop unique compositions that have effective degreasing and cleaning performance but also use less amount of water. The new composition devised by the inventors of the present disclosure helps overcome these drawbacks in the art.

At last fragrance (0.9 g) and colorant (0.03 g) are added to the batch resulting in the desired vehicle cleaning composition.
[0084] Example 3:Determination of Percentage Effectiveness Factor and Residual Contaminant for Vehicle Cleaning Composition
[0085] The protocol for the cleansing efficacy has been designed by referring to standard protocols like American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and literature survey.
[0086] The experiment design of the vehicle cleaner can be categorized into six steps: (1) Selection of substrate/test coupons, (2) Preparation of contaminant, (3) Preparation of contaminant test coupon, (4) Vehicle Cleaner Solution Preparation, (5) Cleaning of contaminated test coupons, and (6) Analytical approach for Cleaning Effectiveness Factor (CEF) and Residual contaminant calculation.
[0087] Selection of substrate/test coupons: 6 inches x 6 inches painted stainless steel coupons were used as substrate or test sample.
[0088] Preparation of contaminant: To evaluate performance of vehicle cleaner, different categories of contaminants were selected. The contaminants used for the study are used Engine Oil with soil (70% Engine oil and 30% soil) coded as AAC04, and Grease with Soil (70% Grease and 30% soil) coded as AAC05. For comparison, the already existing products used were 3M Car shampoo and Auto Car wash. All these were studied for their cleaning activity and compared that with the Vehicle cleaner composition of the present invention. Different compositions used for evaluating the Cleaning Efficiency of the Vehicle cleaner, along with their codes are described in the below table:
Code Description
AAC04 Used Engine Oil with Soil (70% Engine oil and 30% soil)
AAC05 Grease with Soil (70% Grease and 30% soil)
AADVC00 Water
AADVC01 Vehicle Cleaner Composition according to the embodiments of the present invention (also referred to as Homsta Vehicle Cleaner)
AADVC0C1 3M Car Shampoo
AADVC0C2 Auto Car Wash

[0089] Preparation of contaminant test coupons: The prepared contaminants were applied to the selected 6 x 6 inches stainless steel surface. The procedure for the preparation of contaminant test coupons started with rinsing each test coupon being prepared for contamination with the solvent to be used in the contamination solution and drying the test coupon in an oven at 70 oC to 90 oC for 1 hour followed by cool at room temperature in a desiccator. Each test coupon was weighed until constant weight was achieved and numbered with specific code (contaminant code/cleaner code). The test coupon was then coated with contaminant by using 25mm paintbrush. The contaminant was allowed to dry in an oven at 70 oC to 90oC for 1 hour followed by cooling at room temperature in a desiccator and weighing until constant weight was achieved. Weight was recorded prior to the cleaning and after cleaning. Control sample without contaminant on it was used for comparison. The performance of vehicle cleaner composition was compared with other cleaning products commercially available in the market. The commercially available products used are 3M car wash and Auto car wash. The third category of the cleaning solvent is water, which was used to evaluate the cleaning efficacy alone.
[0090] Vehicle Cleaner Solution Preparation: The vehicle cleaner solution was prepared as per the prescribed ingredients and composition.
[0091] The amount of contaminant on the test coupon was calculated in mg/cm2 using:

Wherein C = amount of contaminant in mg/cm2
W1 = weight of clean test coupon
W2 = weight of contaminant test coupon
S = Surface area of test coupon in cm2
[0092] Cleaning of contaminated test coupons: The cleaning process was started with cleaning of designate coupons as the control coupon to undergo cleaning without contamination. The mass of all contaminated test coupons was measured. The control and test coupons were cleaned by cleaning solution, using an average of 5-6 sprays of cleaning solution. The control and test coupons were then cleaned by using a sponge and the final mass of each control and test coupons was noted after cleaning of contaminants.
[0093] Quantitative approach for performance evaluation: This test method provides quantitative results as to be the ability of a specific cleaning agent for removing selected contaminants from coupons. The effectiveness of the cleaning solvent is represented as Cleaning Effectiveness Factor (CEF) that is the fraction of the contaminant removed. A control coupon is used to account for any corrosion or material removal effects due to the cleaning solvent. The current test method is the procedure for calculating cleaning effectiveness factor and residual contaminants. Cleaning effectiveness factor is defined as the fraction of the contaminant removed from an initially contaminated test coupon and determined by gravimetric techniques whereas residual contamination is defining as the absolute mass of the contaminant remaining after the cleaning process and expressed in milligrams per square centimeter of area. The process of analysis includes validation of procedure by examine the control coupons to determine whether they lost mass, gained mass or exhibited the same mass. If the change in mass between control coupon after cleaning and control coupon before cleaning is less than the balance error, then the experiment is valid. The cleaning effectiveness factor indicates the fractional contaminant that was removed during cleaning (for example, CEF = 0.9 indicates that 90 % of the contaminant was removed).

Residual Contaminant (RC) in mg/cm2 can be calculated by the equation:

[0094] Based on the quantitative approach for performance evaluation, the Cleaning Effectiveness Factor (CEF) and the Residual Contaminant (RC) were calculated based on the formula mentioned above. The study data is depicted in the below table wherein the S. No. 1 to 4 in the table indicates cleaning of the “Used Engine Oil with Soil (70% Engine oil and 30% soil)” with the help of the competitive products, composition of the present invention and water as a control sample as per the codes depicted therein. Similarly, the S. No. 5 to 8 in the table indicates cleaning of the “Grease with Soil (70% Grease and 30% soil)” and the S. No. 9 to 12 in the table indicates only use of the cleaning agents without the use of contaminants so as to check and calculate the residual volume of the cleaning agents if any.

Figure 2 indicates results of the cleaning efficacy of the competitive products (3M car shampoo and auto wash), the composition of the present invention and water as a control sample against Grease with Soil (70% Grease and 30% soil). From the results of Figures 1 and 2, Figure 3 has been plotted to calculate the average cleaning efficacy. It was concluded from Figure 3 results that the Vehicle Cleaner of the present invention demonstrates Average Cleaning Efficacy around 97% which is 4% to 7% better than the average cleaning efficacy of 3M and Auto wash respectively. Figure 4 indicates the residual contaminant of the competitive products (3M car shampoo and auto wash), the composition of the present invention and water as a control sample against Used Engine Oil with Soil (70% Engine oil and 30% soil). Similarly Figure 5 indicates the residual contaminant of the competitive products (3M car shampoo and auto wash), the composition of the present invention and water as a control sample against Grease with Soil (70% Grease and 30% soil). From the results of Figures 4 and 5, Figure 6 has been plotted, which clearly indicates that the Vehicle Cleaner of the present invention demonstrates the least average residual contaminant around 0.2% which is less than the existing competitive products. This implies that there is negligible residue left on the substrate after being cleaned by the said invention.
