Three products. One floor.
A waxed concrete floor needs three things over its life: something to put the shine on, something to keep it clean without dulling it, and something to take it all off if you ever need to start over. Every product here is formulated to work with the other two on sealed interior concrete — so you're never guessing whether a cleaner will haze your finish or a stripper will go too far.
Which one do I need?
ProWax Polish™
Adds shine and a sacrificial wear layer over your sealer, in Satin or High Gloss.
Use it when: your sealed floor looks flat, or you want a layer that takes the daily scuffs instead of your stain and sealer.
ProClean Daily™
pH-neutral, no-rinse cleaner that lifts dirt without stripping or dulling the finish.
Use it when: routine cleaning, and every time you prep the floor before a fresh coat of wax.
ProWax Strip™
Removes the wax finish without scrubbing, rinsing, or neutralizing. Ready to use; about 200 sq. ft. per gallon.
Use it when: rarely — only if the finish hazes, yellows, or builds up unevenly.
Order of operations: Clean → Wax → Maintain → Clean and recoat. Stripping only enters the picture if the finish itself has failed — and on a well-maintained floor, that's rare.
How to apply ProWax Polish™ in 4 steps
Clean
Sweep and mop. Floor must be clean and dry.
Prep
Pour out. Dampen the applicator with warm water.
Apply
Thin, even coats. 30–45 min between each.
Cure
6–12 hrs to walk on. 24 hrs for furniture.
1. Clean
Clear the room, sweep away loose dirt and grit, then mop with ProClean Daily™ and let the floor dry completely. On a floor that's already been waxed, a clean surface is all you need — the new coat bonds to the old one. Strip with ProWax Strip™ only if the existing finish is hazed, yellowed, or flaking.
2. Prep the product
Pour ProWax Polish™ into a clean pan, bucket, or approved spray bottle. Dampen the applicator with warm water and wring out the excess — a dry applicator soaks up too much wax.
3. Apply thin coats
Spread thin, even coats using light pressure. Pressing down causes streaking. Allow each coat to dry 30–45 minutes before recoating. Apply between 60–95°F, and don't apply above 70% relative humidity. Never apply more than 4 coats in any 24-hour period.
4. Cure
Wait 6–12 hours before foot traffic and a full 24 hours before moving furniture back in.

Recoat, don't strip
This is the real advantage of a polymer wax. When the shine dulls, you clean the floor and mop on a fresh coat — no stripping, no downtime, no reapplying sealer. Keep up with ProClean Daily™ and recoat when traffic lanes start to show, and you may go years without ever stripping the floor.
When stripping is the right call
Reach for ProWax Strip™ only when the finish itself has gone wrong: haze or cloudiness that cleaning won't fix, yellowing, dark buildup along edges and in corners, flaking or powdering, or a switch between Satin and High Gloss. Adding a coat over any of those locks the problem in.
ProWax Strip™ is ready to use and strips about 200 sq. ft. per gallon. Spread it, let it soak 10–15 minutes without letting it dry on the floor, then pick it up with a clean mop or wet vacuum. No rinsing and no neutralizing — once the floor is dry you go straight into the new finish. Test a small area first. Full instructions are on the ProWax Strip™ product page.
Keeping it looking new
| How often | What to do | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Daily to weekly | Sweep or dust mop; damp mop as needed | ProClean Daily™ |
| As scuffs appear | Clean the spot and touch up that area — no full strip needed | ProWax Polish™ |
| When traffic lanes show wear or the sheen looks uneven | Clean, dry, and apply a fresh maintenance coat | ProClean Daily™, then ProWax Polish™ |
| Rarely — only if the finish fails | Strip the old finish, let it dry, then rebuild the wax layers | ProWax Strip™, then ProWax Polish™ |
Why ProWax Polish™ over a standard acrylic wax
| ProWax Polish™ (polymer) | Standard acrylic floor wax | |
|---|---|---|
| Durability & abrasion | Holds up under heavy traffic | Softer film; wears faster in busy areas |
| Chemical & stain resistance | Strong against oils and solvents | Can discolor under harsh cleaners |
| Sheen options | Satin or High Gloss | Typically low to medium sheen only |
| Maintenance interval | 6–12 months between coats | 3–6 months in similar conditions |
| Recoat | Clean and recoat — no stripping for routine touch-ups | Often requires a full strip and prep |
| Yellowing | Non-yellowing | Varies by formula; ambering is common |
| Application | Mop or spray on; buffing optional | Mop, roller, or spray |
Frequently asked questions
How many coats do I need?
It depends on how hard the floor gets used:
Do not apply more than 4 coats in any 24-hour period.
When can I walk on it? When can I move furniture back?
Foot traffic after 6–12 hours. Furniture after 24 hours.
Do I have to buff it?
No. Buffing is optional. If you do want a burnished, mirror-like finish, build 4–5 thin coats first — burnishing over fewer coats won't give you the depth.
What cleaner is safe on a waxed floor?
Use a pH-neutral cleaner. ProClean Daily™ is formulated not to dull, haze, or strip the finish. Avoid all-purpose, acidic, or high-alkaline household cleaners — they break the wax down and cause uneven wear.
How do I touch up scuffs?
Clean the area, let it dry, and recoat just that spot. No full strip required.
How do I know when it's time to strip instead of recoat?
Recoat while the floor still looks even. Strip when you see haze, yellowing, dark buildup in corners, or flaking — those won't be fixed by adding another layer on top.
Will the remover affect my sealer or stain?
ProWax Strip™ is formulated to take off the ProWax Polish™ finish. Because we can't control the condition of the sealer underneath or how the product is applied, always test a small, inconspicuous area first and confirm the result before stripping the full floor.
How much ProWax Strip™ will I need?
One gallon strips about 200 sq. ft. It's ready to use — no dilution, no rinsing, and no neutralizing afterward.
Can I use these outdoors?
ProWax Polish™ is for interior floors only. For exterior concrete, use a Direct Colors sealer instead of a wax.
Can I wax bare concrete?
No. The floor needs a sealer or coating that has fully cured first. Wax applied to bare, unsealed, or densified concrete will not perform.
