How to apply ProWax Polish™
Clean, prep, apply thin coats, then let it cure. The same four steps as the Quick Start on your jug.
Clean
Sweep and mop thoroughly. The floor must be clean and dry.
Before you begin
ProWax Polish™ is for interior, sealed concrete only.
Sealed floor?
- Go ahead. Put it over a cured sealer such as AcquaSeal™ or AcquaTint™.
- Let the sealer cure for 24 hours first, whichever sealer it is.
Bare or unsealed concrete?
- Don’t apply it. Seal the concrete first.
- AcquaSeal™ or AcquaTint™ first, then wax.
- Clear the room of furniture, rugs and movable objects.
- Sweep, then mop thoroughly. If there’s old wax, take it off first.
- Let the floor dry completely. If it got wet, give it 24 hours.
- Apply at 60–95°F, and not above 70% humidity.
Not for outdoor concrete, damp floors, or floors below 60°F.
Test a small, out-of-the-way spot first to check the look.
Prep product
Pour it out and wet the applicator.
- Pour into a clean pan, bucket or approved spray bottle.
- Dampen the applicator with warm water and wring out the excess.
Apply thin coats
Thin, even coats with light pressure.
- Wear only socks while you work: a throwaway pair.
- Use thin, even coats and light pressure.
- Start at the far corner and work toward the door, so you never walk on a wet coat.
Let each coat dry 30–45 minutes before recoating.
How many coats?
Pick by how much traffic the floor gets.
2 thin coats
2–3 thin coats
3–4 thin coats
4–5 thin coats required
Do not apply more than 4 coats in any 24-hour period.
Cure
Give it time before the room goes back.
Keep the shine
Cleaning and a fresh coat are all it takes.
