Bona high shine polish?
1318757
I used Bona hardwood cleaner, Bona applicator/mop w/ spray including their microfiber pads, and LOW-gloss polish on 3 floors of a townhouse with teak parguet finished with oil and wax. Bona instructions say not for natural finish however I was desperate... floor was dirty and stained with scratches from moving furniture. The mop/applicator with spray is great and makes cleaning and waxing easy. Hardest part was masking the top of base to keep the walls clean. While the parquet was new in 1975, the house is old and floors are not perfectly flat - so a high-gloss wax finish would show every imperfection. I found the low gloss sheen perfect and exactly what I wanted. How did the floors turn out?? Twice as good as I had hoped. The Bona cleaner and wax system resurrected the finish amazingly well and I am totally satisfied... and I am an architect. Since then I had hoped to have a similar result on an old oak floor with practically no finish left, a lot of bare wood - it may have had a natural finish that had no maintenance - unfortunately Bona did nothing - I had to rent a floor sander and applied a light stain and polyurethane with the Bona mop/applicator with an excellent result. I have nothing but praise for Bona, and I have to confess that I did not watch the DVD that came with the product... maybe next job...

Positively Not! The polish is sticky and dries to a high shine. Needs no buffing. In fact buffing might remove the polish and/or stick to the buffer. .

the 3000 grit polish tape produces a pretty high polish but if you want to take it a step further Edge Pro sells 6000 grit tape and a ultra flat glass blank to mount it on

I am regularly using bona to maintain by new laminate floor. I apply it every few months. I do not have experience with old laminates floors. When my contractor left the house after installing the laminate floor, removing wood panels from walls, finishing the wall, painting the walls and installing tiles in bathroom and some other area, the floor was looking really dull. Bona made it extremely shiny. This can easy hide all the hairline scratches but this cannot hide deep scratches and water damages, if any.

What you show here is the Bona Hardwood Refresher, which says in the description: "Refreshes Appearance Of All Unwaxed Floors, Non-Toxic Waterbased Urethane Formula Is Recoatable & Leaves No Build-Up". You need to use Boba Hardwoood Cleaner first, then use the Refesher. Instructions read: "Do not use is floor is waxed, oiled or polished with acrylic polishes." Refresher CANNOT be applied to floor AFTER Bona Hardwood Floor Polish has been used as it will cause a hazy, streaky appearance. I have used this product, twice a year on my hardwood and it shines it up great and works nice, but we have never polished the floor, but had Traffic applied when it was installed after it was stained

Have not used Bona Pro. PolyCare seemed to work better than the last product I bought at a local store. That said, have not found the perfect product yet. They all seem to leave cloudy residue on the floor. Some more than others. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Wish I had a answer for you. I'm stuck with two gallons of the Bona and absolutely hated whenever I use it it puts a film on my floors and everyone that walks across it you can see every footprint I do better was just plain water and I have my shine back and no sticky residue I contacted bone a direct and they never got back to me to answer why it leaves a film that sticky.

Bona doesn't leave an oil residue, though it does make my floor shiny (not cloudy shine, true shine). It dries relatively quickly. Honestly, this is the best product I've found.

If your furniture is sticky from the polish, you are using way too much polish...just a little dab will do ya! Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this particular polish if you don't want sticky, as I polished the heck out of the item I used it on and it was always sticky. I ended up sanding it off. If you want a very nice wax, get the Clapham's Wax. It's natural and buffs to a nice sheen.

Swifter can make your wood floor shine on their own. However, one can also spray Bona and get a shinier result.

There is a Wrights cream polish made just for silver that I would use instead. It works very well on silver as the copper one works on copper and brass.

No its like nail polish but, you must use the top by CND. No base coat. Works fairly well.

Use it just the way it is. We have Laminit floors, it didn't make it shine the way I wanted. I like using the Bona for wood floors better.

It works well. I have brought up the shine on 1920s-1930s Rogers & Bros flatware that I even found in a root cellar and simichrome worked magic. I find it less abrasive than MAAS, yet more effective at removing unwanted patina/dirt/darkness. Or, in some cases like bronze or silver where the patina enhances the piece in spots, the less abrasive nature of the polish allows for strategic polishing. Example: a vintage Mexican silver bracelet with beautifully worked silver, the darker parts that enhance the piece are blended into the bright fully polished silver of the parts that look best when shined. Tip for flatware: a dry "medium" to "hard" toothbrush (bristled) a little seed bead sized amount of simichrome placed directly on the prongs of fork or pattern. Brush it in where discolored or dark then use a dry white cloth or durable (Viva, for me) paper towel to wipe off & buff.

I don't recall details ....th BONA site had detail discussion on this topic. I have just started using BONA on my wood and tile floors and never had the need to remove .... I do recall a very specific discussion on "polish" vs refresher. Polish is what you need to concern yourself with for removal whereas refresher was easier to deal with

BlueMagic has earned 5 stars from me as not only have I had excellent results with pewter, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, renewed automobile headlights, brought new shine to old mica counter tops, but also renewed the shine to an old bath tub and shower glass. Wear gloves and a mask if you react to harsh chemicals. It's my favorite get it done all purpose polish.

I use opi gel polish that I bought through amazon. It works just like at the salon.
