Can this product be used over previously paste waxed hardwood floors?

yes it can. However, if the floors are thickly-coated, not as well. I have used this product for years and years. My floors are about 40 years old and my bedroom did have hard-dried paste (but in great shape). Depends amount of paste wax, if a lot, wait until some of it wears off then use. It coats the wood but has to be able to stick. LOVE this product. Very hard to find in stores so I order it online. am

Although I have not used this product on floors, my experience with it suggests that it isn't going to give you the results you want. At the very least, there will be some overspray of the surrounding area that will make the areas you've tried to seal very conspicuous. At the very least, I would recommend that you use a brush-on product that you can control and then finish the result by sanding with a very fine grit and steel wool. You can repeat the process until you blend the edges of the newly finished area into the older finish. Anything short of refinishing the entire floor is likely to leave some evidence of your retouching effort. I'd do the entire floor if possible.

I used it in my hardwood floors and thought it was definitely easy enough to use. It is not your typical hardwood floor "wax" which isn't really wax at all. This is true wax that will give a satin patina

I think that would depend on how often you use the product. I put on three to four coats on my cutting board (a very large hardwood board) I haven't needed to put any more on, it seals it nicely without being waxy. I may put another coat on since it has been awhile. It doesn't need to be over done, a little goes a long way. I really like this product.

Yes, you can completely replace the wax step with the sealant. The sealant lasts longer too.

I hope I can try to help you. The spelling you have is a bit confusing to me. I bought this product through Amazon because I could no longer find floor wax in the grocery or market stores. No one waxes floors anymore. I still had an old relic at the time and needed to do this. I have always been pleased with this product. Since this purchase, I replaced the floor and no longer have to do this chore.

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.

Not sure, but i've used it and you do have to buff it out. Not as good as Bruce floor wax, but I can't find Bruce anywhere now.

If the wood is clean, you're fine straight out of the can. If the finish looks murky, or the old wax looks dirty, you may want to remove it, first. H.F. Staples Wood Cleaner is great for this. You'll be amazed at how much grime old wax can hold. Just read and follow all directions. TreWax will give you a really nice, durable shine. It's also wonderful for floors. We've used it for years, and been really satisfied.

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

Gene sounds knowledgeable here- all I can say is that the bottle says "For Use ON: vinyl baseboard, vinyl floors, solid vinyl upholstery, vinyl tops..."among others. It only says "damages may occur to worn vinyl floors." I agree- try goo-gone first (or even orange essential oil has worked for me and less toxic). This stuff is potent.

Sorry, I can't answer that question - we've only seen it used on wooden floors.

It does not do well on a paste waxed surface(it leaves a spotty finish)-how it reacts to other finishes I do not know,I would be cautious,but bare wood or layering on top of previous coats of Johnson's is what it is meant for.

Restore-a-floor works well on virtually all surfaces. I have used it on hardwood floors and marble both. Definately restores life to old and dried out wood and marble alike. Be sure to get a couple as if floor is particularly dry it could really suck it up. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Short answer is yes. I have manufactured hardwood floors (laminated). At first I had difficulty due to lack of experience and worked with too large of a section of floor. Some areas dried with white streaks and I freaked. When I learned to spread the product more evenly and thin, it worked wonders and restored the shine back to our floors...floors that were scratched by our dog. The difference to our floors using this product exceeded my expectations.

My floors are pretty old. I have tried all sorts of waxes and I have found that this wax and cleaner has improved the look. Old floors are never going to look like new but this product has helped.

No, not this one. It could result in moisture getting into the flooring and causing warpage and damage to the wood.Some steamers are specifically designed for hardwood floors.
