Polish compositions for gloss enhancement, and method

A composition useful for imparting a glossy finish on a hard surface, the composition comprising:

• from about 10 to about 90% by weight vehicle or diluent;
• from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight anionic or nonionic surfactant;
• from about 5 to about 90% by weight polishing agent;
• and
• from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight poly(oxyalkylene) ammonium cationic surfactant, wherein the poly(oxyalklene) ammonium cationic surfactant comprises a compound of the formula:
• wherein R, R1 and R2 are independently selected from lower alkyl groups, R3 comprises a polyoxyalkylene chain, and R− comprises an anionherein R, R1 and R2 are independently selected from lower alkyl groups, R3 comprises a polyoxyalkylene chain, and R− comprises an anion.

A method of imparting a glossy finish on a hard surface, the method comprising:

• applying a polish composition to the surface, the polish composition comprising:
• from about 10 to about 90% by weight vehicle or diluent;
• from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight anionic or nonionic surfactant;
• from about 5 to about 90% by weight polishing agent;
• and
• from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight poly(bxyalkylene) ammonium cationic surfactant, wherein the poly(oxyalkylene) ammonium cationic surfactant comprises a compound of the formula:
• wherein R, R1 and R2 are independently selected from lower alkyl groups, R3 comprises a polyoxyalkylene chain, and R− comprises an anion.

A composition useful for imparting a glossy finish on a hard surface, the composition comprising:

• at least one poly(oxypropylene) ammonium cationic surfactant, wherein the poly(oxyalkylene) ammonium cationic surfactant comprises a compound of the formula;
• wherein R, R1 and R2 are independently selected from lower alkyl groups, R3 comprises a polyoxyalkylene chain, and R− comprises an anion;
• and
• a base polish, wherein the base polish includes a vehicle or diluent component into which other components are dispersed and a polishing agent.
