My floors do not have a seal like the new floors. I need to buff the floors after I apply the wax. Do you need to buff the floors with Dura Seal?

Yes. The product is something between a liquid and a paste wax; about the consistency of tooth paste. It's handy to have a home floor buffer to spread it, and to buff it.

Yes you will have to use a buffer to buff this product up to a shine. DO NOT OVER APPLY this product...it will not dry...

I did not need to strip my entire floor. Where I did need to eliminate the build up of wax, I used mineral spirits and steel wool. Once I applied the wax, I did need to buff the floor to bring out the shine.

I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only. I can only attest that, left on the floor for a good 15 minutes, the old wax and embedded dirt "melts" away. Good stuff! Now, on laminate floors, I have no idea. However, you can try it on a small part of the laminate floor that is usually not visible and make the test there to see if the wax is removed. Only thing, though, I use a lot of water with the Quick Shine Deep Cleaner and let it set on the floor. I understand laminate floors are unforgiving when a lot of water is applied, causing the floor to buckle. Try a small amount. Good luck! I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only.

I found the pads did not do well and just used the brushes. On my wood floors also. I plan to use them for my new tile which still has some dullness where the grout was removed. The pads would get bunched up. I think they were just too thin. Try the brushes in a small spot and see what happens.

If it were me - and an all wood floor, I would clean it with Murphy's Soap (read and follow instructions to the "T") and after a complete dying period, use Johnson's paste wax. Lots of work, but the buffer will also scrub. When you lay the wax down, do in in light, even, coats and let it dry - buff with bristle brush first and then lambs wool. You may need to do a couple of coats...best of luck.

It is not a floor polisher, however is used correctly my floors glow, so maybe that is what your trying to achieve, my floors are laminent and fairly new 3-4 years old,never been waxed so they have a shine if they are cleaned properly. Before using my haan the always had a haze and didn`t shine the hot steam disenfects well but best of all if used properly it dries fast resulting in a shine that I hadn`t seen since the floor was installed.

I bought this product and liked it, but the new finish didn't last. But, I may need a more professional resurfacing fir my floor. Sorry I'm not much help.....

I wish I had some dark paste, because I have dark colored floors. I've been using the light paste on mine. But my guess is, unless you have serious scratches on your light floor, the dark paste shouldn't affect your color. It would only do that if there was a scratch to penetrate. Otherwise, it's just a wax finish

There is no wax in this product. I use it on my laminate floors and it works great. You don't have to rinse it off, either. Do not use it on floors that already have wax on them. It's a great product.

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(

Nicole - Thank you for the email. Have you sealed the repair and now are trying to dull the shine down? If so, this is because the shine in the sealer is high and if your tile is a flat it will be tough. I would suggest taking some nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol and rubbing the area softly to remove the lacquer and this will also dull the shine down slightly. After this dries, you can then use the white side to dull the shine more. After it at the shine you want, then you can stop. You do not need to use the clear pen if the shine is low. The repair will be sealed already and the higher shine is not needed. This should get you to where you need to be. Thank you Nicole - Thank you for the email.

i have the same problem but i just use my microfibre mop. it is very annoying and embarassing and stresses me out. i have tried several different cleaners, water, vinegar and water, to no avail. i have never used wax the floor is only a couple months old.

Yes, but you will need to make sure the garage surface is free of any oil or any type of residue. It will also be an advantage to feather sand the floor to break the sheen of the current coating to give our sealer a "mechanical" bond or anchor to ensure adhesion. After cleaning the floor, you can rent a rotary (slow speed) floor sander with about 80-100 grit sand paper. Just make sure the sheen on the floor has no shine. Hope this help, EnduraCoat

No need, just ensure your floor is very clean and dry. Also ensure temperature is 70+, leave tiles for 2 day in room, then apply.

I am not 100% but I would have to say no.I would follow the advice from the can as to what they suggest.Or ask a wood floor refinisher.

I don't know. I used it on my quarry tile cellar floor and am very happy with it. After using the wax, I used another liquid wax I bought at the local supermarket to give it a higher gloss. I must say that we had our wood floors sanded and polyurethaned and were very happy with that.

if you really mean linoleum, as opposed to vinyl, I don 't think you should be using wax on it in the first place. The floor I used it on was vinyl. I have since installed a linoleum floor in another location and don't use waxy cleaners. If you do have real linoleum, I would be hesitant to use it without testing it on a small out of the way spot.
