ProWax Polish™ Concrete Floor Wax

Both are acrylic-based floor waxes designed to protect your sealed concrete and enhance its appearance. The difference is in the finish: High Gloss produces a bright, mirror-like shine that intensifies color, while Satin provides a softer, more natural sheen. Choose based on your desired aesthetic and the look that complements your space.

Apply concrete floor wax with a trim pad or foam mop with a wringer attachment. Soak the applicator in warm water and shake or wring out excess before use. Pour the wax into a paint or wallpaper tray and saturate the applicator. Press out excess and push a thin, milky coat onto the surface. Apply no more than 3-4 thin coats at any time, allowing 2-3 hours of drying between coats.

No. Wax should not be used for outdoor surfaces. UV rays and rain break wax down too quickly, making it ineffective and potentially creating a slippery hazard. For outdoor surfaces, stick to acrylic sealers (AcquaSeal™ or EasySeal™) and reapply every 2-4 years as needed.

For residential use, reapply wax every 6-8 months depending on foot traffic. High-traffic areas like entryways and hallways may need more frequent spot treatments. For commercial applications, waxing may be needed more frequently. You can spot-wax high-traffic zones as needed between full applications.

No! Wax does not replace sealer. Sealer penetrates deep into the pores of your concrete, protecting the surface and maintaining your concrete's true color. Wax is a topical application designed to protect and enhance the finish of the sealer. Think of it as a protective layer on top of the sealer – the wax protects the sealer while the sealer protects the concrete.

Uneven Surface and Pooling: If the concrete surface is uneven with low spots, wax can pool in these areas when applied too heavily. This pooling can cause the wax to become milky or white, especially noticeable in rounded spots where the accumulation is significant. Moisture Trapped Under the Wax: Any remaining moisture on the surface or within the pores of the concrete that gets trapped under the wax layer can lead to a milky or hazy appearance. This moisture needs to evaporate completely; otherwise, as it tries to escape, it clouds the wax. Application on Cold Surfaces: Applying wax to a concrete surface that is below 60°F can prevent the wax from curing properly, leaving it white and milky—similar to its appearance when first applied. The wax doesn’t bond well with cold surfaces, resulting in an undesirable finish.

Ensure Even Application: Avoid applying wax too heavily, especially on uneven surfaces. Aim for a thin, even coat to prevent pooling. Dry the Surface Thoroughly: Make sure the concrete is completely dry, with no moisture on the surface or within its pores, before applying wax. Apply at the Right Temperature: Apply wax only when the concrete surface temperature is at or above 60°F. For optimal results, the wax should be within 5-7 degrees of the floor temperature during application.

Remove Excess Wax: In areas where wax has pooled, carefully remove the excess. This may involve reapplying a thinner layer of wax or using a wax stripper followed by a proper application. Address Moisture Issues: If moisture is the culprit, allow the area to dry thoroughly. This might mean using dehumidifiers or fans to speed up the drying process. Once dry, reapply the wax as recommended. Adjust Temperature: If possible, increase the temperature of the area to above 60°F and allow the surface to reach this temperature before reapplying wax.
