15. The cleaning composition as defined in claim 1, comprising by weight percent:

16. The cleaning composition as defined in claim 6, comprising by weight percent:

17. A method of cleaning a hard surface and to form a shine of the hard surface comprising: a) applying a lubricating based cleaning composition to a hard surface, said cleaning composition including silicone, wetting agent, lubricating agent and non-organic solvent;b) waiting a period of time to allow said cleaning composition to at least partially wet foreign material on said hard surface; and,c) at least partially remove said cleaning composition from said hard surface by use of an absorbent material.

18. The method as defined in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said cleaning composition includes a manually powered sprayer, an electric powered sprayer, or an air powered sprayer.

19. The method as defined in claim 18, wherein said sprayer is an electric power sprayer that can apply a generally even coating of said cleaning composition on at least a portion of said hard surface.

20. The method as defined in claim 19, wherein said sprayer is an electric power sprayer that can apply a coating of said cleaning composition on at least a portion of said hard surface at a generally constant force.

21. The method as defined in claim 17, wherein said hard surface is not pre-wetted or pre-washed with water prior to applying said cleaning composition on said hard surface.

22. The method as defined in claim 17, wherein said time period is at least about 1 second.

23. The method as defined in claim 21, wherein said time period is at least about 1 second.

24. The method as defined in claim 22, wherein said time period is less than about 5 minutes.

25. The method as defined in claim 24, wherein said time period is less than about 2 minutes.

26. The method as defined in claim 17, wherein said adsorbent material includes a paper towel, a cloth towel, a sponge, a rag, or combinations thereof.

27. The method as defined in claim 23, wherein said adsorbent material includes a paper towel, a cloth towel, a sponge, a rag, or combinations thereof.

28. The method as defined in claim 17, including the step of enhancing a shine on the hard surface by rubbing the hard surface with a micro-fiber cloth after said cleaning composition has been at least partially removed from the hard surface.

29. The method as defined in claim 28, including the step of enhancing a shine on the hard surface by rubbing the hard surface with a micro-fiber cloth after said cleaning composition has been at least partially removed from the hard surface.

30. The method as defined in clam 17, wherein said cleaning composition is absent wax.

31. The method as defined in claim 17, wherein said cleaning composition includes a lubricating agent other than silicone.

32. The method as defined in claim 17, wherein said non-organic solvent includes water, said water present in an amount of over 80 weight percent of said cleaning composition.

33. The method as defined in claim 17, comprising by weight percent:

34. The method as defined in claim 17, comprising by weight percent:

35. The method as defined in claim 17, comprising by weight percent:
