No Buffer Required |
By
waxing you create a glossy layer of protection that keeps
your surface looking new, and if properly waxed and maintained
your surface shouldn't need sealed again. Our Residential
Wax is designed to create little buildup and to be
applied without a floor buffer. For higher traffic areas
we offer our Commercial Wax,
which is designed to be applied with a floor buffer. Both
waxes are for interior use only.

How-To
Apply Multi-Purpose
Acrylic Wax - Residential Wax Only
Waxing is one of the most important facets
in maintaining interior decorative concrete, but does not
replace the need for sealer on your decorative concrete.
While sealer penetrates into the pores of your concrete and
maintains your floor’s color, wax is a topical coat
designed to be used over a sealed surface. By using our acrylic
wax you will be creating a sacrificial barrier between your
sealed floor and the harsh world around it. If properly waxed
and maintained you shouldn’t need to reseal your floor
again. As compared to outside surfaces, which shouldn’t
be waxed and must be resealed every few years, an interior
floor can be protected by a shield of acrylic wax.
Surface Preparation
Your first step when waxing your floor will be to thoroughly
clean your surface of all dirt and debris. (To clean your
surface you can mop the floor with warm soapy water, or
a light bleach mixture, etc.) Do not use harsh chemicals
such as Xylene, Lacquer Thinner, Adhesive Remover, etc,
these chemicals will remove the sealer on your decorative
concrete. You must first mop with your cleaning-agent/water
mixture, next mop with water only, and lastly a dry mop
to ensure all soap and dirt residue has been cleaned from
the surface. Repeat the above cleaning process if floor
remains dirty.
Applying the Wax
After your surface has dried you can apply the wax using either
a sponge mop or lamb’s wool applicator. The thinner
the wax is applied the stronger your shield of acrylic
wax. At one thin coat a gallon of wax should give you approximately
2,000 square feet of coverage. For application we recommend
either a sponge mop or wax applicator. When applying wax
for the very first time you should put down 3-4 thin coats.
If reapplying wax see the below section. For the very first
application simply apply the first coat out thinly and
let dry, after the first coat has dried apply the second,
once the second has dried apply the third, and if necessary
apply a fourth thin coat. To limit possible streaking you
can apply the first coat East to West and the second coat
North to South. Before allowing any traffic on your floor
you should test if the wax has dried by applying pressure
to the surface with your fingernail, if the surface dents
your wax will require more time to dry but if hard it should
be suitable for traffic.
Reapplying Wax
Depending on the conditions your waxed surface is exposed to,
you should apply one additional thin coat of wax approximately
every 3-8 months. Before reapplying wax, clean the surface
as is stated in the section “Surface Preparation.”
Now you are ready to apply an additional thin coat. This coat
should be applied as is stated in the above section “Applying
Wax,” with the only difference being one coat of wax
is required when reapplying.
If you have any additional questions please call us at (877)-255-2656.
Thanks and enjoy your beautiful surface!

FAQ
on Multi-Purpose Acrylic Wax
Why
not just wax instead of seal your floor?
Wax does not replace the need for sealer on your decorative
concrete. Sealer penetrates deep into the pores of your concrete,
protecting your surface and maintaining your concrete’s
true color. Unlike sealer, wax is a topical coat that’s
designed to be used over a sealed surface. Wax protects the
sealer while sealer protects the actual surface.
How does wax change the appearance?
Adding wax to your surface gives it a glossier look. By using
wax you gain greater control over the gloss level of your
surface, with every coat of wax increasing the gloss level.
How does wax work?
Our wax is acrylic based and when applied will form a cohesive
matrix of acrylic across your surface. This hard layer of
acrylic will serve as a sacrificial barrier against the extreme
conditions surrounding your decorative surface.
How long should the wax dry before
being walked on?
Our wax should only take a matter of hours before being dry
enough. You can test the surface by applying pressure to
see if any dents were created. If no dents appear, your surface
is suitable for foot traffic.
How long should I wait before adding
another coat?
For every application following the first, you will need
to wait for an average of 3-8 months before adding an additional
coat. The length of time between each application depends
on many different variables; such as gloss level desired,
amount of traffic, climate, etc.
Can I use your wax outside?
We highly discourage anyone from using our wax in an outdoor
application, because conditions outside are too harsh and
unpredictable. If applied outside your waxed surface will
probably turn milky white.
