- Waxing, finishing or polishing are preparation coatings that create the finished appearance. Finishes provide additional protection against soil abrasion and scratching. 2-5 coats may be specified by the manufacturer and/or the end user.
- Spray buffing is a maintenance procedure used to remove daily wear and tear and restore luster to the surface.
- Floor stripping and waxing techniques require different machines.
- If the proper procedures, strippers, and finishes are not used, the job may fail, yellow or only look better for a short time.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines
Note:
- Not all hard surfaces should be covered with finishes.
- Many natural stones, cement, grout or tile may require sealers after restorative cleaning.
- Usually associated with hard surface & grout lines, Sealing a floor provides a coating of protection against moisture, contaminants, and stains. It also helps to level the surface, increase adhesion of finishes and improve the appearance of final finishes.

Lets take a look at the differences between Acrylic and polyurethane Finishes:
-
CAcrylic Finish
- Is far less durable than Polyurethane.
- will wear and yellow after short periods of time.
- Is less expensive.
- Requires more interim and restorative maintenance.
Acrylic requires a chemical stripper to remove ( Water +VOC’s)
Polyurethane Finish
- Is more durable.
- Can last up to 5 years with preventative(dust mop and vacuuming) and scheduled maintenance (low or high speed burnishing).
- The time in between stripping and re-finishing greatly reduces restoration costs and down time in your space.
- Most manufacturers are suggesting this for their products immediately after installation.
- Requires mechanical abrasion to remove (No water- No harsh odor)
